The FanController should work with any type of hardware which supports PWM. As far as I know that means fans and pumps, but there could be others. At any rate, there's no reason to have to copy/paste FanController into a new file and rename it PumpController, so then FanController should be named something like PWMController and made more modular.

The codebase is great, and the docs section is really helpful, but should there be more? Should we create a wiki? I'm not sure it's really necessary at this point in the life of Venturi, but maybe if we hit it off here a wiki could be useful. I think we have a good structure going, and if things take off and people contribute, then maybe a wiki would be beneficial for all parties involved.

The general idea for the project structure here should be: main project folder containing all scripts for each component in the project, a main file that combines all scripts and controls them.

Computer_Controller is actually one huge script with aspects of each component script hard coded in. According to Arduino, if a project folder has a whole bunch of scripts in the same folder (i.e. the same window in the IDE where each script is a tab) then they will all be merged by the compiler automagically.

The reason this issue exists is because it would be much cleaner and more effective (probably) to take the modular approach and deal that way.
