Temperature-Activated Fan Controller

This project enables automatic fan control based on temperature thresholds using a 2N2222 transistor.

Functionality:

• The circuit acts as a switch, activating the fan when the temperature exceeds a set threshold value.
• Ensure your GPIO pins are appropriately configured to handle the transistor and fan current requirements.

Usage:

• Modify the temperature threshold value in the code to suit your needs.
• Run the script on your Raspberry Pi or compatible platform to monitor and control the fan automatically.

Components Required:

• 2N2222 transistor
• GPIO pins on a Raspberry Pi or similar device

Setup Instructions:

1. Transistor Connections:

   • Collector: Connect to the ground of the fan.
   • Base: Connect to GPIO PIN 12.
   • Emitter: Connect to the ground (GND) of the GPIO.

2. Fan Connections:

   • Positive: Connect to the 5V pin of the GPIO.
   • Ground: Connect to the collector of the transistor.
