Script for Argon one pi4 fan ???

[Alexandrapi4]

Hello i have a argon one case with fan built inside for pi4.
I am using Manjaro KDE Os
There is a downloable script to activate the fan, but unfortunatly it is only writed for raspian os, so it doesn't work and i haven't no cpu refresh. I have tried to modify it and succeded to run a few part but it fails to call i think raspian specific command like vcgencmd. I haven't enough coding skills in bash or python to adapt and make it working.
I have write to argon. com but nothing at the moment.
Here is the link to download the bash script : https://download.argon40.com/argon1.sh
Are there talented persons able to adapt this script for Manjaro ??
In advance thanks

Hello,
Thanks for your link, in fact i ve already found it but i am a beginner in scripting, even reading at the doc, i am not sure how to properly install it.
Please could you tell me how to procede step by step ?
It will be kind of you

I've tried this :

git clone https://github.com/Elrondo46/argonone.git
cd argonone
sudo pacman -S base-devel (to install some missing packages)
makepkg -si
sudo systemctl enable argononed.service
sudo reboot

Everything installed properly, can access argonone-config from terminal, but fan still doesn't work..

Don't know how to fix it...any help appreciated

Sorry, I can't help you. It just works here.

How does you /etc/argononed.conf file look like?

[hectorkvs]

I've solved it..needed to install:

yay -S raspberrypi-userland-aarch64-git

works perfectly now!

[Alexandrapi4]

Hello all !
Thank you very much hectorkvs, i've installed too yay first, then i've type your command to install raspberrypi-userland.
I've done this : systemctl enable argononed.service
sudo reboot
and it works !!!

Here is the proper way to install script for Argon One case running on Manjaro ARM both KDE Plasma and XFCE:

git clone https://github.com/Elrondo46/argonone.git
cd argonone
sudo pacman -S base-devel (to install some missing packages)
makepkg -si
yay -S raspberrypi-userland-aarch64-git
sudo systemctl enable argononed.service
sudo reboot

Make sure you put this in config.txt on boot partition before rebooting :
dtparam=i2c_arm=on
dtparam=i2c-1=on
enable_uart=1

Also I forgot to mention that the ' enable_uart=1 ' in /boot/config.txt in conjunction with having ' kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200 ' mentioned in /boot/cmdline does crash the kernel (kernel panic) so please check for this if you are planning on automatically add the uart-option to /boot/config.txt.I did fix this by removing ' kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200 ' from my /boot/cmdline.
If you have a problem with shuting down when the power isn't cut as it should (power led still working, after pi shutdown), you need to change in ' /usr/lib/systemd/system-shutdown/argononed-poweroff.py ' the following:

Line 20
bus.write_byte_data(0x1a,0,0) to looks like this..

hope this help

[Alexandrapi4]

Thank you very much i'll try to solve the led still working even the shutdown, i promise i'll tell you as soon as i can.

[hectorkvs]

Thank you very much i'll try to solve the led still working even the shutdown, i promise i'll tell you as soon as i can.

Hope u'll solve it...just go to /usr/lib/systemd/system-shutdown/argononed-poweroff.py open it in text editor and change the Line 20 to look like this:
bus.write_byte_data(0x1a,0,0)
Now the power led will power off when you shutdown your pi..

Does anyone know how I can make this work for Ubuntu?

[krabappel]

I would also love to know how to get this working in Ubuntu.

Sort-of update:

I shot their customer support mailbox an email to ask if there were any plans to make an Ubuntu-friendly version of the script. Their response:



In the meantime you'll have to wait for their official script or for some enthusiast to cobble one together.

Removed, double post. See post below.

I adapted the original script to work on Ubuntu 20.04. You can find it on my github.

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

Everything seems to work as advertised:
- double press of the power button reboots the board cleanly
- 3 second press of the power button shuts the board down cleanly
- using argonone-config, you can turn on the fan directly; works as expected
- using argonone-config, you can input new value for the fan curve to update the fan curve
- the service is registered so it starts automatically on boot.

Enjoy!

After the "sudo pacman -S base-devel" command, it returns "impossible to download the pkg. the requested URL returned error: 404".
Any way to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance

Fan control and power button worked perfectly on my Ubuntu Server 18.04 x MATE
Thanks for the great work!!
(didn't get to test the GPIO pins though... )
