Reading power consumption values? #32

Open vvsteg opened 5 years ago

vvsteg commented 5 years ago

Hi! Please excuse me for a possible off-topic.

Is it possible to implement power consumption reading capability into this tool?

The original Thermaltake software tool for Windows has this feature. However I have a GPU-system for molecular dynamics that works under Linux (my PSU model is Thermaltake Toughpower DSP G 750W).

Hi,

It should be, but will require additional implementation and testing, this task was kind of started in

https://github.com/chestm007/linux_thermaltake_riing/issues/8#issuecomment-470059408

but as yet, the branch is waiting on some further testing and investigation. Feel free to pull that branch and run the test script and let me know if it works!

Cheers

Thank you for the feedback!

I have installed the irgb-plus branch and run toughpower.py script. However it has produced nothing, no text output, no PSU lights...

BTW, it seems I do not see any PSU-like devices in lsusb output. What key words should be expected?

I have a feeling you might need to sudo or run it as root... IIRC there are USB permissions that mean you need root or such.

in `lsusb | grep '264a:2329' there should be one line output (the usb devices dont exactly tell you what they are in lsusb)
