Hello,

So I have my P3 steel variant built and am now down to the wiring. The particular build has a fan expansion board on the bill of materials, and I'm trying to figure out what to wire there. It is this module [www.ebay.com]. The hotend fan has it's own mount. There are a few additional fans and accessories. Since it has 3 spots, I have an LED light and 2 print cooling fans. I see that print fans go onto D9 on the Ramps board. That would mean they are always on. Would you want that to happen, or would mounting them to the board make them software controlled? I assume the LED light can go there as well. That would occupy all 3 ports. Yes I'm a newb and want to make sure this is done correctly. Thanks in advance.

IIRC D9 is controllable. The 2 pin 12V out is not.
There is not always a header soldered to it but the RAMPS has a 2 pin 12V out just besides the X axis pololu headers.

Cheers
