Question

The user manual for the RGBW controller states that it can be used for a fan, however it doesn't go into any further detail about how to hook it up or what kind of fan to use. I know the RGBW controller uses PWM for dimming, so I would expect a fan with a PWM input would work. I haven't been able to find anywhere on these forums or on the general internet that anyone has actually used this to run a fan.
Does it actually work? Is there a diagram that I have overlooked that shows how to hook it up? The fan I have in mind is a 120mm PC case fan that has a PWM input. It's 12V and only 1.44 watts at full speed, so it's within the specs of the RGBW controller. I know I can just get a relay for on/off functionality, but I'd like to be able to adjust the speed as well.
