I can not get the hot end fan to startup.
I need help with the firmware setup the fan is connected to the fan0 on my Rumba board running with Marlin.

the hotend fan gets connected directly to the power supply not the board plugs even if there is one as it must be always on

That's not always true. It must be on when printing or above certain temperatures, but my Duet 0.8.5 boards uses a thermostatically controlled fan for the hotend that only turns it on above 45C.

Most people have it hooked to constant 12v.
