wondering whether the Beagle Bone Black can easily power a normal computer
fan. I have some extra 3-pins laying around, and have some kinda stupid
ideas for how to use them. I've been told that the Raspberry Pi can't
Uh. No. The I/O are 3.3V and they can deliver about 6 mA maximum.

What you do is wire up a circuit with 5v going to a fan, with a NPN
transistor in the middle. Even better would be an opto-isolator.
The transistor/opto-isolator would have
