555 Temperature Controlled PWM


I am trying to build a temperature controlled 555 circuit to drive a cpu fan (used for cooling my entertainment center)


I built this using slightly different diodes and MOSFET, and it works great (until you hook up the power backwards and get that distinctive pop of and poof of smoke from a blown up 555). Circuit: -

anyway, now I want to make it temperature controlled. I have a few tmp36 sensors laying around as well as an AD592 and a AD22100, so I can use whichever will work best. how could I go about converting this circuit to vary based on the temp? Let's say lowest speed below 75 F and full out above 100, but I would love to learn, so if you could explain the calculations, that would be great. I feel like this should be easy, and I am kind of just missing something, but who knows.


Thanks!

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
