Raspberry Pi 5 Fan Controller

This repository contains a Python script to control the fan speed of a Raspberry Pi 5 based on the CPU temperature. The script reads the current temperature and adjusts the fan speed accordingly to ensure efficient cooling.

Files

• fan_controller.py: The main Python script that monitors the CPU temperature and adjusts the fan speed.

Fan Speed Control

The fan speed is controlled based on the following temperature thresholds:

• Above 70°C: Full Speed
• 65°C to 70°C: High Speed
• 60°C to 65°C: Medium Speed
• 40°C to 60°C: Low Speed
• Below 40°C: Off

Setup

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/rpi5-fan-controller.git
   cd rpi5-fan-controller

2. Ensure the script is executable:

   chmod +x fan_controller.py

3. Set up the script to run on boot: Add the following line to your crontab using crontab -e:

   @reboot python3 /root/fan_controller.py

4. Reboot the Raspberry Pi to start the fan controller:

   sudo reboot
