Overview

Smart Fan and Power Expansion Board

Features

1. Width voltage input: 6V~14V' With power switch

2. Output: DC 5V 4A with two channel outputs: 

OUT1 for  external device such as servo, motor, robots, mechanical arm, intelligent card etc. (output interface: HT3.96);
Max current is 2A, and can be programming control to on/off; please refer to SAMPLE CODE 1;
OUT2 (GPIO output for raspberry pi);Max current is up to 4A if the OUT1 be closed; 
CAN'T be programming control, it will be output to raspberry pi directly if the switch be turned on;

3. Built-in temperature sensor, with active cooling fan, you can control flexibly the ON/OFF of mini fan via I2C command and GPIO programming. please refer to SAMPLE CODE 2;

4. Support hardware pwm to control fan, please refer to SAMPLE CODE 3;

Temperature range and accuracy

  • -25 ℃ ~ + 100 ℃ when the ± 2 ℃
  • -55 ℃ ~ +125 ℃ when the ± 3 ℃

5. Cooling Fan can be replaced, please refer to FAN SPECIFICATIONS;

6. Standard HAT size;

Packing List

  • 1 x Board;

Hi，This board is no longer available, We recommend you to use X735 power management board with PWM fanX735

Hello sir, Sorry, we do not try to use it this way, so it is not syggested to use the fan and power board to power the X820 expansion board, hope to get your understanding! Best regards,

  1. !/usr/bin/python
  2. MyRPi.ca script - ocs11@hotmail.com
  1. 2018-10-01
  1. Python script that uses multiple sources to determine the CPU and enclosure temperature
  2. and adjust the fan speed automatically
  1. Load system libraries

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO # Required to access the GPIO pin for PWM control. import time # Required for the loop delay. [time.sleep] import datetime # Required for date and time strings import sys # Required for CTRL-C clean exit. [sys.exit] import os # Required for secondary CPU temperature extraction. [os.open] import smbus # Required to read the sensor temperature

  1. User Configuration Settings

FAN_PIN = 12 # BCM pin used to drive the fan control. WAIT_TIME = 30 # Time, in seconds, to wait between each loop cycle.

fanSpeedMin = 36 # Minimum fan speed. Must be greater than 0. Use the calibration utility to get this value. fanSpeedMax = 100 # Maximum fan speed. Set to limit noise otherwise leave at 100. Maximum 100. cpuTempMin = 45 # Temperature at which to start the fan. Minimum 1. cpuTempMax = 60 # Temperature at which fan should run at [fanSpeedMax] speed. Maximum 70 (for safety).

diagCon = 0 # Set to [1] to enable diagnostic output to the console. [0] to diable. diagLog = 1 # Set to [1] to enable diagnostic output to a log file. [0] to diable. fanStatusLog = "/tmp/fanStatus" # Diagnostic Log file path and filename.

  1. End of typical user configuration. Changing the code below may result in unexpected behaviour.
  1. Initialize runtime variables

PWM_FREQ = 50 # [Hz] Do not change. See documentation. cpuTemp = 0 # CPU Temperatue cpuTempOld = 0 # CPU Temperature on the last cycle fanSpeed = 0 # Fan Speed fanSpeedOld = 0 # Fan Speed on the last cycle fanRunning = 1 # Boolean to store if the fan is running or not

def regdata2float (regdata): return (regdata / 32.0) / 8.0

def getCPUtemp1(): if (diagCon): print "Trying to acquire CPU Temperature (Primary)." if (diagLog): fileLog.write ( "Trying to acquire CPU Temperature (Primary).\n" ) cpuTempFile = open("/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp","r") # Open system file Read-Only cpuTemp1 = int(float(cpuTempFile.read())/1000) # Retrieve the system temperature value cpuTempFile.close() # Close the system file return cpuTemp1

def getCPUtemp2(): if (diagCon): print "Trying to acquire CPU Temperature (Secondary)." if (diagLog): fileLog.write ( "Trying to acquire CPU Temperature (Secondary).\n" ) cpuTemp2 = os.popen('vcgencmd measure_temp').readline() return float(cpuTemp2.replace("temp=","").replace("'C\n",""))

def getSensorTemp(self):

  1. Read the temperature from the I2C LM75 sensor

if (diagCon): print "Trying to acquire LM75 Sensor Temperature." if (diagLog): fileLog.write ( "Trying to acquire LM75 Sensor Temperature.\n" ) raw = I2Cbus.read_word_data(sensorAddress, tempRegister) & 0xFFFF raw = ((raw << 8) & 0xFF00) + (raw >> 8) ret = regdata2float(raw) if (diagCon): print "LM75 Sensor Temperature is ", ret, "C" if (diagLog): fileLog.write ( "LM75 Sensor Temperature is " + str(ret) + " C\n" ) return ret

  1. Verify the configuration values

if ((cpuTempMin >= cpuTempMax) or (cpuTempMin < 1) or (cpuTempMax > 70)): print "Invalid cpuTempMin or cpuTempMax value has been configured. Please read the documentation. Aborting." exit(0) if ((fanSpeedMin >= fanSpeedMax) or (fanSpeedMin < 0) or (fanSpeedMax > 100)): print "Invalid fanSpeedMin or fanSpeedMax value has been configured. Please read the documentation. Aborting." exit(0)

  1. Initialize the GPIO subsystem

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM) GPIO.setup(FAN_PIN, GPIO.OUT, initial=GPIO.LOW) GPIO.setwarnings(False) fan = GPIO.PWM(FAN_PIN,PWM_FREQ) fan.start(0);

  1. Main runtime loop

try: while (1): # Repeat until CTRL-C is pressed.

  1. Reset variables at beginning of loop

cpuTemp = 0 now = datetime.datetime.now() timeNow = now.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") if (diagCon): print timeNow if (diagLog): fileLog = open(fanStatusLog,"w") fileLog.write ( timeNow + "\n" )

  1. Try method 1 to acquire CPU Temperature

cpuTemp = getCPUtemp1()

  1. If method 1 failed, try method 2 to get CPU temperature

if ((cpuTemp <= 0) or (cpuTemp > 120)): cpuTemp = getCPUtemp2()

  1. Check to make sure we have a reasonable CPU temperature to work with

if ((cpuTemp <= 0) or (cpuTemp > 120)): print "Unable to read the CPU Temperature [cpuTemp]. Incompatible system architecture or Linux version. Aborting." exit(0) if (diagCon): print "CPU Temperature: ", cpuTemp if (diagLog): fileLog.write ( "CPU Temperature: " + repr(cpuTemp) + "\n" )

  1. Calculate the appropriate fan speed based on the current CPU temperature

if (cpuTemp > cpuTempMin): cpuTempPerc = (((cpuTemp - cpuTempMin) * 100) / (cpuTempMax - cpuTempMin)) fanSpeed = (((fanSpeedMax - fanSpeedMin) * cpuTempPerc ) / 100 ) + fanSpeedMin if (diagCon): print "Calculated cpuTempPerc:", cpuTempPerc, "% fanSpeed:", fanSpeed if (diagLog): fileLog.write ( "Calculated cpuTempPerc: " + str(cpuTempPerc) + "% fanSpeed: " + str(fanSpeed) + "\n" )

  1. Enforce maximum fan speed

if ((fanSpeed > fanSpeedMax) or (cpuTemp >= cpuTempMax)): if (diagCon): print "Setting fanSpeed [", fanSpeed, "] -> fanSpeedMax [", fanSpeedMax, "] based on fanSpeedMax or cpuTempMax" if (diagLog): fileLog.write ( "Setting fanSpeed [" + str(fanSpeed) + "] -> fanSpeedMax [" + str(fanSpeedMax) + "] based on fanSpeedMax or cpuTempMax\n" ) fanSpeed = fanSpeedMax

  1. If fanSpeed is at or below the minimum, stop the fan

if (((fanSpeed < fanSpeedMin) or (cpuTemp <= cpuTempMin)) and (fanRunning != 0)): if (diagCon): print "Changing Duty Cycle [", fanSpeedOld, "] -> [Off] Cooling not required." if (diagLog): fileLog.write ( "Changing Duty Cycle [" + str(fanSpeedOld) + "] -> [Off] Cooling not required\n" ) fanSpeed = fanSpeedMin fanSpeedOld = fanSpeedMin fanRunning = 0 fan.ChangeDutyCycle(100)

  1. If the calculated speed is different from the last cycle, set the fan speed

if ((fanSpeed != fanSpeedOld)): if (diagCon): print "Changing Duty Cycle [", fanSpeedOld, "] -> [", fanSpeed, "]" if (diagLog): fileLog.write ( "Changing Duty Cycle [" + str(fanSpeedOld) + "] -> [" + str(fanSpeed) + "]\n" ) fanRunning = 1 fan.ChangeDutyCycle(100-fanSpeed)

fanSpeedOld = fanSpeed if (checkLM75): getSensorTemp(I2Cbus)

  1. Wait until the next loop cycle

if (diagCon): print if (diagLog): fileLog.close() time.sleep(WAIT_TIME)

  1. If a keyboard interrupt occurs (ctrl + c), set the GPIO to 0 and exit the program.

except(KeyboardInterrupt): print "Fan speed control script interrupted by the user. CTRL-C was pressed." GPIO.cleanup() if not fileLog.closed: fileLog.close() sys.exit()

  1. End of Script
