Hey there,
I'm planning on building a setup for my Racing setup.
I'd like to place 2 desk fans on either side of the steering wheel and connect those to an Arduino Uno.
The Arduino is then connected to the PC which gets it's data from SimTools 2.0.
Then when you're racing in the game the speed of the fans is regulated based on how hard you drive, and if you're turning your wheel (going left makes the left fan blow a tad harder)
Now I've done some reading on what I need for this but to be sure I'd like to verify that my idea is valid.
At first I wanted to use AC fans, due to them being able to output more wind, but as far as I've read, AC is way harder to regulate. So I've chosen two 12VDC Desk fans wich use 50W each (4,16A).
Then to use with that I've selected a 8,5A (120W) Meanwell power supply to feed them.
Then as setup I'll use the setup described as first setup at:

Using two TIP120
I was looking at the Adafruit Motor Shield, but that doesn't seem to be able to feed the fans I had in mind. I have a feeling it's more based for servo motors.
So my question is, do any of you see something faulty with my setup here, or do you think I can proceed with building this ?
