Bitfenix Recon Fan Control Help

[wildest_jjk]

Hey guys,

I have just set up my bitfenix recon fan controller for the first time. It kind of works but I think I might have done something wrong during the install.

Once I run the recon application it loads the control page for me however this does not update until I manually run the fancontroller_daemon executable everytime. Does anyone have any idea why this might be the case?

Thanks

Ok thanks that has helped.

Could anyone please confirm for me how many physical pins there are for the USB connector on the actual PCB of their recon?

I realise the USB connector is 4 pin but I just want to check that everyones PCB has four pins.

Thanks

Yeh I did notice that but really I was looking for control over the network as well. I have got it working but still having a few issues with the USB connection.

If anyone does have a Bitfenix Recon it would be great if you could check the number of USB pins on the PCB for me. I need to know whether it is three or four.

Thanks

USB Pins on my recon is 3, 4th is for pwm which recon doesnt do.

U can use both Phoebetria and network control from my knowledge so why not give it a shot. The fan curves you can set on Phoebetria are also very handy if you use your temp probes properly

Thanks for your response

So just to confirm are you talking about the connection that I have circled in the picture below?

The number of pins that the USB connection goes onto is 3?

I just checked mine there and 4 pin connector goes into 3 pins on the PCB, the red wire isnt connected to a pin at all.

That's interesting then and kind of what I was expecting. I recently soldered a fourth pin onto the board as I was having problems and it was second hand etc.

Seems pretty strange there is not meant to be a fourth pin then even though there are four wires on the connector.
