X735-script
Contents
Overview
This is script installation tutorial for X735 v2.5 & v3.0, it will replace X735 Software installation tutorial, although X735 Software installation tutorial is still available, but we strongly recommend that you use this script tutorial, which simplifies the installation process and reduces dependencies on third-party python libraries.
The core shell script of X735-script comes from from pimlie/geekworm-x-c1, pimlie implements the pwm fan shell script, which does not depend on third-party python libraries at all. Thanks to pimlie.
Now we think you have successfully flashed the OS Image into Micro SD and and power on the device, and you have also completed the operations such as creating new user required in some OS. You need to perform the following operations in Terminal
.
[update]
1. Use gpiod instead of obsolete interface, and suuports ubuntu 23.04 also
3. The script now supports the Raspberry Pi OS BOOKWORM version. You just need to uninstall the original script and reinstall it. Please refer to the following:
Open ternimal window, then run the following command:
mv x735-script x735-script-old git clone https://github.com/geekworm-com/x735-script cd x735-script chmod +x *.sh ./uninstall.sh
Then just follow the installation process below.
2. Fix fan not working on Raspberry Pi 5 hardware
If you are using it on a Raspberry Pi 5, make the following changes:
- Be sure to update the kernel to version 6.6.22.
sudo apt update sudo apt full-upgrade sudo rpi-update
- Change the
PWM_CHIP_PATH
to/sys/class/pwm/pwmchip2
on line 7 of x735fan.sh
OS that has been tested
- Raspbian
- DietPi
- Manjaro
- Ubuntu
- myNode
- Umbrel
- Volumio
- RetroPie
- Twister
Install
Preconfigured config.txt
To install pwm fan, first add dtoverlay=pwm-2chan,pin2=13,func2=4
to /boot/firmware/config.txt
under [all] or the end of file and reboot
:
sudo nano /boot/firmware/config.txt
Save & exit.
sudo reboot
Install gpiod package
sudo apt install -y gpiod
Clone the script
Clone pruduct software script
git clone https://github.com/geekworm-com/x735-script cd x735-script chmod +x *.sh
PS: For some OS such as Raspberry Pi OS Lite, the git tool is not installed by default, if you get an error like error: -bash: git: command not found, please run the following command to install the git tool.
sudo apt install -y git
Create the x735-fan service
x735-fan service is for pwm fan, the pwm fan will automatically adjust the runing speed according to the temperature of the cpu after the service is started.
Run the following command to install fan service script;
./install-fan-service.sh
Then the pwm fan starts running.
Create the x735-pwr service
./install-pwr-service.sh
Prepair software shutdown script
Run the following command to install software shutdown script (sss)
./install-sss.sh
After the installation is complete, an x735xoff
command will be created to shut down the software.Then you can run x735xoff
to execute software shutdown.
Uninstall
Run the following command to uninstall all.
./uninstall.sh
Test
Test safe shutdown
Software safe shutdown command:
x735off
DON'T run the 'shutdown' linux command to shut down, otherwise the power of x735 shield will not be shut down.
Hardware safe shutdown operation:
You can verify the safety switch through the onboard switch, press and hold the switch for 3
seconds, then the blue LED will flash slowly and the shutdown is going then all LEDs will be off until the device is completely powered off.
- press on-board button switch
1-2
seconds to reboot - press button switch
3
seconds to safe shutdown, - press
7-8
seconds to force shutdown.
Read fan speed
read_fan_speed.py
is a sample python file on how to read the speed of the pwm fan. Run the following command to get the speed of the fan:
cd ~x735-script sudo python3 read_fan_speed.py
This `read_fan_speed.py` python file depends on the third-party python library `Rpi.GPIO`. In the official Raspberry Pi OS and most third-party OS, this library is installed by default. If you run this file and get some errors, try to run the following command to install the Rpi.GPIOy library.
sudo apt-get install -y python3-smbus python3-rpi.gpio
Or you can refer to How to Install RPi.GPIO Python Library
Other
pwm_fan_control.py
is no longer used, and are reserved here for research and use by python lovers only.
