Argon Fan Hat #178

Closed tregan01 closed 1 year ago

tregan01 commented 2 years ago

I bought the hardware that was recommended. Once I have 2022.45.1 installed, how can I enter terminal to write the script for the Argon Fan Hat, curl https://download.argon40.com/argonfanhat.sh | bash? Without it, the fan just continuously runs. Don't want it running if I leave the Raspberry Pi4 connected to the car while I'm not driving.

Thank you!

The pi will sleep with the car, nothing to sorry worry about.

You can permanently change the fan config in config.txt

dtoverlay=gpio-fan,gpiopin=18,temp=55000

This entry will turn on the fan only when the pi exceeds 55 degrees on the cpu core

Thank you so much for getting back to me, and for developing the tools needed to get CarPlay working in a Tesla! Sorry if this seems frustrating, but I am quite new at this. In the config.txt I see 2 lines that begin with dtoverlay. One says, "dvtoverlay=dwc2", and the other says, "dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d. Am I replacing both lines with what you suggested? Thanks again!

Don't replace anything, just add the line I mentioned above on the end of the file

Thank you again! This is like Eddie Van Halen getting back to me and be like, 'No, no. Do it this way...". Ha! Ha!

Again, my apologies, but it seems that, even with the line you mentioned above entered, the fan continues to run

mikegapinski commented 2 years ago

Oh... You have the argon fan hat, I have the Argon Mini Fan, this config might not work for this :/

Have you managed to control fan speed? I have the same fan

tregan01 commented 1 year ago

You have what same fan, the fan hat or the mini? I returned my fan hat, got the mini, entered the code, and it works fineSent from my iPhoneOn Mar 15, 2023, at 2:40 PM, KBD77 @.***> wrote:

Took a brief look on the script and how this particular fan is controlled - this overlay won't work for this fan since it's not driven with just PWM.

There is another cooler that works with PWM: https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/PI4-FAN-PWM

I tested the twin made for the Compute Module 4 and it's awesome, transfers heat very well and it's good for slim cases.

I'd close this issue, not much I can do here
