I want to automatically "back down" the damper during/after a door open event to help with recovery times.
Does anyone run both the servo and fan together ?
The wiring would use a common ground, so I was wondering how you get that to work using the RJ45 pinout on one end while leaving the final 2 pairs open for future use...
Thinking of doing something like this:
. _____________________________________________ ||=== >> Fan and gnd*
.HM RJ45 <<====(standard ethernet cable)========**
. _____________________________________________ |||=== >> Servo, gnd*, +5v
Connect the ground lead* (pin4) of the RJ45 twisted pairs for the fan to one of the other paired wires where I would split off the 3 wires for the servo connection.
Also, what type of connectors do you use on the fan and servo end of the Cat5 ethernet cable?
On my smoker, I will be permanently mounting the servo to the damper and will need to use a connector, and can have the HM and fan removable even if the fan is soldered to the Cat5 cable.
