Raspberry Pi 5 Active Cooler Fan Control

Welcome to Raspi5-AC_fancontrol, a blast from a hot past and back a coool future! 🕹️

This groovy fan controller takes you back to the rad 1980s, where simplicity ruled and four speeds were all you needed to keep cool. 🌬️💨

Prepare to be blown away by the retro vibes of this totally tubular app. With its rudimentary design and limited functionality, it's like stepping into a time machine and experiencing the nostalgia of a bygone era. ⏰✨

This project contains a script for controlling the fan speed of a Raspberry Pi 5 Active Cooler. The script is specifically designed for the Raspberry Pi 5 Active Cooler and heat sink.

Getting Started

These instructions will help you get the fan controller up and running on your Raspberry Pi.

Prerequisites

• Raspberry Pi 5 with an Active Cooler and heat sink
• Bash shell (should be available by default on most Raspberry Pi OS)

Installation

1. Clone this repository to your Raspberry Pi.
2. Navigate to the directory containing the fancontrol.sh script.

Usage

1. Run the fancontrol.sh script with the following command:

    sudo chmod +x ./fancontrol.sh
    sudo ./fancontrol.sh

This will start the fan controller. The script will automatically adjust the fan speed based on the current temperature of the Raspberry Pi.
