==Overview==
This is script installation tutorial for [[X715]] only, it will replace [[X715 Software | X715 Software installation tutorial]], although [[X715 Software | X715 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 [[X715-script]] comes from from [https://github.com/pimlie/geekworm-x-c1 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 <code>Terminal</code>.
'''[update]'''
1. Use '''gpiod''' instead of obsolete interface, and suuports ubuntu 23.04 also
2. Fix fan not working on Raspberry Pi 5 hardware issue
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 <code>PWM_CHIP_PATH</code> to <code>/sys/class/pwm/pwmchip2</code> on line 7 of '''X715fan.sh'''
==OS that has been tested==
* Raspbian
* DietPi
* Manjaro
* Ubuntu
* myNode
* Umbrel
* Volumio
* RetroPie
* Twister
==Install==
===Preconfigured <code>config.txt</code>===
To install pwm fan, first add <code>dtoverlay=pwm-2chan,pin=12,func=4,pin2=13,func2=4</code> to <code>/boot/firmware/config.txt</code> under [all] or the end of file and <code>reboot</code>:
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/X715-script
cd X715-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
<!--
2. Download xGPIO tool
wget https://github.com/geekworm-com/xgpio/raw/main/bin/ubuntu/xgpio_pwr
wget https://github.com/geekworm-com/xgpio/raw/main/bin/ubuntu/xgpio_soft
After the download is successful, there will be two files xGPIO_pwr and xGPIO_soft in the current directory.

===Configuring Different GPIO Chip for <span class="tb_red">Raspberry Pi 5 hardware</span>===
If you are not using Raspberry 5 hardware, skip this step,or run the following command to set differnt chip and pwm number.
sed -i 's/xSoft.sh 0 20/xSoft.sh '''4''' 20/g' install-sss.sh
sed -i 's/xPWR.sh 0 5 12/xPWR.sh '''4''' 5 12/g' X715-pwr.service
sed -i 's/pwmchip0/pwmchip'''2'''/g' X715-fan.sh
PS： Because Raspberry Pi 5 uses a different GPIO chip.
===Create the X715-fan service===
X715-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;
sudo ./install-fan-service.sh
Then the pwm fan starts running.
PS: If fan don't works, be sure to update the kernel to version 6.6.22, don't work on 6.6.20, it's a kernel issue.
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo rpi-update
Run the command '''''uname -r''''' to check kernel verson
===Create the X715-pwr service===
sudo ./install-pwr-service.sh
===Prepair software shutdown script===
Run the following command to install software shutdown script (sss)
sudo ./install-sss.sh
After the installation is complete, an <code>X715xoff</code> command will be created to shut down.Then you can run <code>X715xoff</code> to execute software shutdown.
==Uninstall==
Run the following command to uninstall all.
sudo ./uninstall.sh
==Test==
===Test safe shutdown===
'''Software safe shutdown command''':
X715off
<span class="tb_red">DON'T run the 'shutdown' linux command to shut down, otherwise the power of X715 shield will not be shut down.</span>
'''Hardware safe shutdown operation''':
You can verify the safety switch through the onboard switch, press and hold the switch for <code>3</code> 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 <code>1-2</code> seconds to reboot
* press button switch <code>3</code> seconds to safe shutdown,
* press <code>7-8</code> seconds to force shutdown.
===Read fan speed===
<code>read_fan_speed.py</code> 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 ~X715-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===
<code>pwm_fan_control.py</code> is no longer used, and are reserved here for research and use by python lovers only.
