I believe I'm getting better results along these lines:
FanSpeed2 = 0;
interrupts();
// sei(); //Enables interrupts
delay (1000); //Wait 1 second
Calc2 = ((FanSpeed2 * 60)/2);
noInterrupts();
//cli(); //Disable interrupts
the resultant rpm seems more realistic...and two fans are much more similar in output.
thanks
