Example Usage

The following examples demonstrate how to use the 40mm Aluminium Alloy Water Cooling Block in various IoT contexts:

### Example 1: Raspberry Pi Water Cooling System

In this example, we'll use the water cooling block to cool a Raspberry Pi single-board computer in a custom-built IoT project.

Hardware Requirements

Raspberry Pi 4
 40mm Aluminium Alloy Water Cooling Block
 Water pump (e.g., DC 3V 1.2W Micro Water Pump)
 Water reservoir (e.g., 100ml plastic container)
 Tubing and fittings (e.g., G 1/4" barb fittings and 1/2" ID tubing)
 Power supply (e.g., 5V 2A wall adapter)

Software Requirements

Raspbian OS (latest version)
 Python 3.x

Code Example (Python)
```python
import time
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO

# Set up GPIO pins for pump control
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
pump_pin = 17
GPIO.setup(pump_pin, GPIO.OUT)

# Set up pump speed (50% duty cycle)
pwm_frequency = 50
GPIO.PWM(pump_pin, pwm_frequency)

try:
    while True:
        # Monitor temperature and adjust pump speed accordingly
        temp = get_cpu_temperature()
        if temp > 60:
            GPIO.PWM(pump_pin, 75)  # Increase pump speed to 75%
        elif temp < 50:
            GPIO.PWM(pump_pin, 25)  # Decrease pump speed to 25%
        time.sleep(1)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    GPIO.cleanup()
```
### Example 2: Industrial Automation Cooling System

In this example, we'll use the water cooling block to cool a high-power industrial automation controller in a IoT-based industrial automation system.

Hardware Requirements

Industrial automation controller (e.g., Siemens SIMATIC IOT2040)
 40mm Aluminium Alloy Water Cooling Block
 Water pump (e.g., Grundfos TPED 3/4 HP)
 Water reservoir (e.g., 500ml stainless steel tank)
 Tubing and fittings (e.g., G 1/4" barb fittings and 1/2" ID tubing)
 Power supply (e.g., 24V 5A industrial power supply)

Software Requirements

Siemens SIMATIC IOT2040 firmware (latest version)
 C/C++ programming environment

Code Example (C)
```c
#include <iot2040.h>

// Define pump control pin
#define PUMP_PIN 13

int main() {
    // Initialize pump control pin as output
    iot2040_pinMode(PUMP_PIN, OUTPUT);

while (1) {
        // Monitor temperature and adjust pump speed accordingly
        float temp = iot2040_getTemperature();
        if (temp > 70) {
            iot2040_analogWrite(PUMP_PIN, 128);  // Increase pump speed to 50%
        } else if (temp < 60) {
            iot2040_analogWrite(PUMP_PIN, 64);  // Decrease pump speed to 25%
        }
        iot2040_delay(1000);  // Wait 1 second before checking again
    }
    return 0;
}
```
