Add a fan to provide active cooling

The XBee Cellular Modem can become hot if you use it in the maximum upload or download scenarios,
see

Heat considerations

. You can attach a fan to the device to provide active cooling.

If you attach a fan, use

P1 (DIO11/PWM1 Configuration)

to enable this functionality on pin 7. Set

, which turns the fan on when the device gets above 70 °C and the cellular component is running, and

off below 65 °C.
