temp_high = 60 # Cwhile True:
# Get CPU temperature using Raspbian's vcgencmd utility
temp = os.popen("vcgencmd measure_temp").readline().replace("temp=", "").replace("'C

temp = int(temp)# Control fan based on temperature thresholds
if temp > temp_high:
GPIO.output(fan_pin, GPIO.HIGH) # Turn fan on
elif temp < temp_low:
GPIO.output(fan_pin, GPIO.LOW) # Turn fan off# Wait 1 second before checking temperature again
