Level oscillation

[diggit]

Hi, I have problem with constant level oscillation.

Version: thinkfan 0.99.0

Here is my config:

hwmon /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/temp1_input           #1
tp_fan /proc/acpi/ibm/fan

{ "level auto"
    (30)
    (85)
}

{ "level disengaged" # nice idea: "level auto" can also be used.
                     # but again: only numbers for sysfs.
    (75)
    (110)
}

Output:

# thinkfan -s1 -n -d -v
Temperatures(bias): 96(0) -> level disengaged
Temperatures(bias): 96(0) -> level auto
Temperatures(bias): 96(0) -> level disengaged
Temperatures(bias): 98(0) -> level auto
Temperatures(bias): 97(0) -> level disengaged
Temperatures(bias): 97(0) -> level auto
Temperatures(bias): 97(0) -> level disengaged
Temperatures(bias): 96(0) -> level auto
Temperatures(bias): 96(0) -> level disengaged
Temperatures(bias): 97(0) -> level auto
Temperatures(bias): 96(0) -> level disengaged
Temperatures(bias): 97(0) -> level auto
Temperatures(bias): 97(0) -> level disengaged
Temperatures(bias): 96(0) -> level auto
Temperatures(bias): 91(0) -> level disengaged
Temperatures(bias): 89(0) -> level auto
Temperatures(bias): 89(0) -> level disengaged
Temperatures(bias): 95(9) -> level auto
Temperatures(bias): 97(6) -> level disengaged
Temperatures(bias): 95(0) -> level auto
Temperatures(bias): 95(0) -> level disengaged
Temperatures(bias): 95(0) -> level auto
Temperatures(bias): 96(0) -> level disengaged
Temperatures(bias): 96(0) -> level auto
Temperatures(bias): 98(0) -> level disengaged
Temperatures(bias): 98(0) -> level auto
Temperatures(bias): 96(0) -> level disengaged
Temperatures(bias): 98(0) -> level auto
and so on....

I tried to tune -b parameter, but it had no effect. Is there something wrong with my configuration or what is happening?

Hi, thx for the report & sorry for the late reply. I just updated the master branch with a bunch of new features & bugfixes. Your particularly issue should be addressed by commit 276554c. Please try with the latest master branch and see if works now.

Awesome, everything works well. BTW new yaml config example is missing in CMakeLists.txt.

Using new yaml config, I am not able to set tp_fan:

sensors:
  - hwmon: /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2
    indices: [1]

fans:
  - tp_fan: /proc/acpi/ibm/fan

#
# Complex level config
#
levels:
  - speed: level auto
    upper_limit: [85]

  - speed: level disengaged
    lower_limit: [75]

results in:

ERROR: /etc/thinkfan.conf.yaml:6:
  - tp_fan: /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
    ^
Invalid entry.

What is wrong?

Oh right, sorry, the syntax was changed, check out the updated thinkfan.conf.yaml example ;-)

Thanks. Everything works for me. Can you update CMakeLists.txt to install yaml config example too?
