Hi

Is there a guide or script adjusted for running argon one fan unit also on ubuntu.

I have seen many users asking the same question but no clear solution how to activate fan and maintaine cooling control over the UBUNTU.

Hope someone can post a solid overall solution.
For me it would even help to activate the fan and keep it running "always on".

Since I'm both new with RPi 4 and ubuntu I would really appreciate any help...

I use RPi-4, 8GB with ubuntu desktop 20.04.

Thank U in advance.

Hi,

For all those users searching for the same thing and solution regarding "argon-one", here (below) is the link which works fine
for me:

https://github.com/meuter/argon-one-case-ubuntu-20.04

Hope it helps to someone, as all this should be about helping each other and community....

I installed that from your link, and from a software side it seems to work. I can monitor temperatures. I can change fan speeds, and program what temperatures will change to which speeds.

Just one problem. The fan never actually physically turns on.

Hard to tell why.. Maybe something with hardware, OS version, fan failure...?
Anyway I activated it with option ``ALWAYS ON`` and it works like charm...

My configuration:
Rpi-4/8GB
RPi firmware: 1.4
OS: UBUNTU 20.04

Hope U manage to start it UP...Not sure where the problem could be...?
Coz....few of my co-workers also used this script and had no issues ....
But we all used option ALWAYS ON for fan running...

Sorry I couldn`t be more helpful...
