I went back to the one fan code. Tested each fan and when doing so I found A problem. The code I posted reads the two fans RPM right.  If I stop one of the fans the LCD reads the last reading taken not zero. I will STFW for a way to mod the code. My goal is if one of the fans stop working turn pin 9 and 10 low.
Thank you

I hope this helps

I am trying to monitor two 3 wire pc fans, I have the sketch done (thanks to the Arduino forum and it's members). I have each fan wired to Arduino's 5V pin to 10k resistor, then to the sensor wire and Signal wire, then pin2
 5V pin to 10k resistor, then to the sensor wire and Signal wire, then pin3
I am getting a feedback/signal  from one signal wire to the other. Is there a way to stop that?
If I stop both fans I get (I think it called a floating pin) random numbers. How do I stop that?
 Thanks
 

Pin 2 and interrupt 0 go together. Pin 3 and interrupt 1 go together.

When you changed the pin 3, did you change the value in attachInterrupt to match?

No, just changed it now works.
Thank you

I am trying to under stand the code for reading 3 wire PC fan RPM, should work on pin 2 and/or 3.
 The code below works on  int hallsensor = 2; // pin 2 location of the sensor  Prints the same fan RPM in two spots.
When I change to  int hallsensor = 3; // pin 3 location of the sensor , wont read RPM- It still reads pin 2.
 I changed the code to  int hallsensor = 11; // pin 11 location of the sensor,  Should not work at all and it still reads pin 2.
Is it some part of the code or is it the Duemilanove that is not letting me change from pin 2 to pin 3?
Can someone point me to some reading/reference to this piece of code?
