Aluminum Cooling Heat Sink Chip RAM Radiator Heatsink Cooler | Reprap StepStick Heat Sink - Blue (9x9x12mm)OverviewThe Aluminum Cooling Heat Sink Chip RAM Radiator Heatsink Cooler is a high-performance heatsink designed for Reprap StepStick and other similar applications. Its compact size (9x9x12mm) and blue anodized aluminum construction make it an ideal choice for cooling small form factor devices.FeaturesCompact size: 9x9x12mm
Material: Blue anodized aluminum
High thermal conductivity for efficient heat dissipation
Compatible with Reprap StepStick and similar devicesPinoutThe heatsink does not have any electrical pins. It is designed to be mounted on top of the Reprap StepStick or similar devices using a thermal interface material (TIM) such as thermal tape or thermal paste.Example Code: Reprap StepStick Cooling with Arduino```c
// No code is required to use the heatsink with a Reprap StepStick.
// Simply attach the heatsink to the StepStick using a thermal interface material (TIM).
```Example Code: Monitoring Temperature with Raspberry Pi and PythonIn this example, we'll use a Raspberry Pi to read the temperature of the Reprap StepStick and log it to a file.```python
import os
import time# Import the Raspberry Pi GPIO library
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO# Set up GPIO mode
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)# Define the temperature sensor pin (assuming it's connected to GPIO 17)
temp_pin = 17# Set up the temperature sensor pin as an input
GPIO.setup(temp_pin, GPIO.IN)while True:
# Read the temperature sensor value
temp_value = GPIO.input(temp_pin)
# Convert the value to a temperature reading (assuming a 0-1023 range)
temperature = temp_value / 1023.0 100.0
# Log the temperature to a file
with open("temperature_log.csv", "a") as log_file:
log_file.write("{:.2f}C
".format(temperature))
# Wait 1 minute before taking the next reading
time.sleep(60)
```Note: This example assumes a temperature sensor is connected to the Reprap StepStick and the Raspberry Pi. The code is for illustrative purposes only and may require modifications to suit your specific setup.
