This guide <big>Although this tutorial is only for x-c1 adapter shield.still available, but we strongly recommend that you use [[XScript]] new tutorial, and we no longer maintain this page</big>
==How '''Note:''' Not tested with '''Home Assistant''', for some reason, we are not able to upgrade and use the Home Assistant to test, please pay attention to setup script??==1check if there is any update in the future. Once (If you have logged into successfully tested Home Assistant, welcome to share your Raspberry Pi from experience via email at: support@geekworm.com) <hr/> [Update] Support [https://getumbrel.com/ Umbrel] now. The script is '''not tested''' VMware ESXI ARM operating system. To make the 3pin PWM cooling fan running, please remove/pull out the yellow cable if you use X-C1 V1.3 version.Remove the jumper cap on "Fan FS" PIN of X-C1 V2.0 to let the command linefan running at full speed. NOTE: In general, two important libraries are needed to run this script: 1. pigpiod, refer to http://abyz.me.uk/rpi/pigpio/download.html 2. Python, try to run 'python --version' to check it. ==For Raspbian / RetroPie / Twister OS v2.0.2 ==Test this script based on the following commandsOS:* Tested '2022-04-04-raspios-buster-armhf.img" on Apr. 13, 2022;* Raspbian 2021-05-07-raspios-buster-armhf, 2021-10-30-raspios-bullseye-armhf.img, 2021-10-30-raspios-bullseye-armhf-lite.img* RetroPie 4.7.1* Twister OS v2.0.2 / Twister OS 2.1.2 '''install''' cd ~
3login via teminal window, the default user name is `root`, password is `dietpi`, then run the following command:<pre> sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install git pigpiod python3-pigpio python3-smbus python3-rpi. Setup scriptgpio -y git clone https://github.com/geekworm-com/x-c1
sudo chmod +x x-c1.sh sudo bash x-c1.sh printf "%s\n" "alias xoff='sudo x-c1softsd*.sh'" >> ~/.bashrc
4 sudo bash install-dietPi. Rebootsh echo "alias xoff='sudo /usr/local/bin/x-c1-softsd.sh'" >> ~/.bashrc
5. '''PWM fan control''' The script is installed successfully and the fan starts to run '''Test safe shutdown'''
At this time, the fan is still not rotating, we need to continue to install the pwm fan control script'''uninstall''' sudo ./uninstall-dietPi.sh
We can manually run the following commands==For Manjaro==About Manjaro, please refer to https: python /home/pimanjaro.org/x-c1/pwm_fan_control.pyThen the x735 fan will start working.
But we hope that the Test this script can be executed automatically when the Raspberry Pi board boots, we can use crontab system command to achieve itbased on Manjaro-ARM-kde-plasma-rpi4-21. please refer to the following07.img

==For LibreELEC==
With LibreELEC it is not possible to change the system for security and stability reasons so even 'apt-get' would not be able to do this, so we cannot install some third-party libraries like pigpiod, Therefore, safe shutdown and dynamic adjustment of fan speed cannot be supported on liberelec.

==FAQ==
Q1: Can't connect to pigpio at localhost(8888)
<pre>
Can't connect to pigpio at localhost(8888)
Did you start the pigpio daemon? E.g. sudo pigpiod
Did you specify the correct Pi host/port in the environment
variables PIGPIO_ADDR/PIGPIO_PORT?
E.g. export PIGPIO_ADDR=soft, export PIGPIO_PORT=8888
Did you specify the correct Pi host/port in the
pigpio.pi() function? E.g. pigpio.pi('soft', 8888)

</pre>
A: If you find an error similar to the above, it is because pigpiod library is not started, we need to run pigpiod first,
sudo pigpiod
python 'your directory'/x-c1/fan.py &
If 'sudo' command request a password, you can use the following command:
echo 'your password' | sudo -S pigpiod
python 'your directory'/x-c1/fan.py &
You can put these two lines in the /etc/rc.local file so that it will run automatically after booting.

Q2:How to get the current fan speed value? As I remember old x735 software where with such read_fan_speed.py script example, but not found such in X-C1.
A: The X-C1's PWM fan is a 3Pin FAN, and does not support reading speed. The Fan of X735 is a 4Pin PWM fan.
