Optocoupler

5V fan driver part

BD139 transistor-based switch

Input voltage selector

Based on the power brick (5 V or 12 V), one can select where the input voltage should go. In the case of 5 V, the voltage goes to the +5V pin on the Arduino. In the case of 12 V, the voltage goes to the VIN pin.
