Operating temperature: 0C to 50CGetting StartedTo use the Raspberry Pi Metal Aluminium Case with Double Fans, follow these steps:1. Install the Raspberry Pi 4B into the case, ensuring it is securely fastened.
2. Connect the fans to the power supply (e.g., a USB connection).
3. Install the operating system and necessary software on the Raspberry Pi.Code ExamplesHere are a few examples of how to use the Raspberry Pi Metal Aluminium Case with Double Fans in different contexts:Example 1: Fan Control using PythonIn this example, we'll demonstrate how to control the fans using Python. We'll use the `RPi.GPIO` library to control the fan speed.```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time# Set up GPIO pins for fan control
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(18, GPIO.OUT) # Fan 1
GPIO.setup(23, GPIO.OUT) # Fan 2while True:
# Set fan speed to 50% duty cycle
GPIO.output(18, GPIO.HIGH)
GPIO.output(23, GPIO.HIGH)
time.sleep(1)
GPIO.output(18, GPIO.LOW)
GPIO.output(23, GPIO.LOW)
time.sleep(1)
```Example 2: Temperature Monitoring using Shell ScriptIn this example, we'll demonstrate how to monitor the system temperature using a shell script. We'll use the `vcgencmd` command to read the temperature and control the fans accordingly.```bash
#!/bin/bashwhile true
do
temp=$(vcgencmd measure_temp | cut -c6-9)
if [ $temp -ge 50 ]; then
# Turn on fans if temperature exceeds 50C
echo "Fans on"
gpio write 18 1
gpio write 23 1
else
# Turn off fans if temperature is below 50C
echo "Fans off"
gpio write 18 0
gpio write 23 0
fi
sleep 1
done
```Example 3: Home Automation using Node.jsIn this example, we'll demonstrate how to integrate the Raspberry Pi Metal Aluminium Case with Double Fans into a home automation system using Node.js. We'll use the `rpi-gpio` library to control the fans and the `homebridge` library to integrate with other home automation devices.```javascript
const gpio = require('rpi-gpio');
const homebridge = require('homebridge');// Set up GPIO pins for fan control
gpio.setup(18, gpio.DIR_OUT);
gpio.setup(23, gpio.DIR_OUT);// Define a home automation accessory
class FanAccessory {
constructor() {
this.service = new homebridge.Service.Fan('Living Room Fan');
this.service.setCharacteristic(homebridge.Characteristic.On, false);
}getOn() {
return gpio.read(18) === gpio.HIGH;
}setOn(value) {
if (value) {
gpio.write(18, gpio.HIGH);
gpio.write(23, gpio.HIGH);
} else {
gpio.write(18, gpio.LOW);
gpio.write(23, gpio.LOW);
}
}
}// Register the accessory with Homebridge
homebridge.registerAccessory('FanAccessory', FanAccessory);
```These examples demonstrate the versatility of the Raspberry Pi Metal Aluminium Case with Double Fans in various contexts. By controlling the fans and monitoring the temperature, you can ensure reliable operation of your Raspberry Pi in demanding environments.
