(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻┻ DeskPi Pro Active Cooling and Front USB ports

This does not sound like expected behavior from DeskPi Pro. Also the information you’re providing appears to be operating properly. Maybe screenshot a failure condition or something

Its not the Pro, its the Deskpi Lite.
But I think the hardware and its control should be similar.

Deskpi lite uses pwn instead of serial fan control. I don’t have a unit and cannot support it. However if someone wants to use this to adapt the existing code, I could accept a pull request.

github.com

DeskPi-Team/deskpi_v1/blob/302807e3a7236b512095342c776043393b462923/drivers/python/fan_control.py

#!/usr/bin/python3

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
import subprocess

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setwarnings(False)
GPIO.setup(14, GPIO.OUT)
pwm = GPIO.PWM(14,100)

print("\nPress Ctrl+C to quit \n")
dc = 0
pwm.start(dc)

try:
    while True:
        temp = subprocess.getoutput("vcgencmd measure_temp|sed 's/[^0-9.]//g'")
        if round(float(temp)) >= 45:
            dc = 100

This file has been truncated. show original

Pr would need to either

Be a separate folder displaying the name DeskPi Lite
Detect DeskPi Pro/lite by confirming if serial port or pwm pin values are as expected
Have a selection in the config for pro/lite
.
#1 appears to be a better way to do it. I don’t have a unit so I will not be doing this myself.

Hi , Just installed and setup HA /Rpi4B inside a DeskPi Pro case. The instructions here show editing the /boot/config.txt which is normally on a Raspberry OS system. The HA I installed was from custom images from within Raspberry Pi Imager - and is NOT a RpiOS.
Also this is running from an SSD that is plugged into the USB3.0 port.
Tried following the instructions from commandline. However, the path /mnt/config.txt does not exist.
Any HELP you can provide that would reflect a system that is being built today would be appreciated.

this is what is in the log of the AddOn:

Enable the front USB and serial first

tcichowicz · January 7, 2024, 12:51pm

OK, but I can’t even get past the installation instructions without errors, as I stated in my first post.

Login to the main terminal, then at the ha> prompt, type "login".

echo 'dtoverlay=dwc2,dr_mode=host' >> /mnt/boot/config.txt

The. Boot partition isn’t mounted. I made an addon to do this for you.

tcichowicz · January 7, 2024, 7:00pm

OK … could you provide that information ? name of the addon? etc…
if it is HassOS Serial Configurator - I have that installed too, but have no idea how to configure things to make anything work.

OK … Success!

It was the protection mode switch - “If it was a snake it would have bit me!”
