Changed config for the K501UX

[ragekit]

Check first commit down there for explanation

[hirschmann]

Thanks for the config!

I have some questions before I merge this pull request:

1. If the right fan only has 2 possible states (on/off), why don't you set MaxSpeedValue to 1, so that min = 0, max = 1?
2. Does the config still work if you increase the poll interval? This would result in less CPU load.
3. Could you please add a description to the RegisterWriteRequests?
4. Why is FanSpeedResetValue equal to MaxSpeedValue? This means the fan will be reset when set to 100% speed. Is this the intended behavior?

[ragekit]

Inestigating all those.

for 1) totally, it can/should be 1 I think
2) Im going to make some test for that
3) I copied it from another config that apparently works for the UX, Im not sure how to describe them. All I know it that I need to write to them. If not, the EC seems to auto reset (if that makes sense ??)
4) this is an error, it shouldnt reset. Even reset on exit should be unchecked since it seems the uc reset anyhow.

Does that makes sense to you ?

Im a bit unsure why I need to write onto the register 160 and 166 the value 10 to make it work.

Im going to do further test

[ragekit]

Ok i checked : for 3) Any value written to those register seem to work. If I dont write anything, then it doesnt work. Still a mystery as to why.

Still testing what max value I can set to polling

[hirschmann]

Great!
When you've finished testing, just update the pull request.

[ragekit]

im around 200ms and still works. What would be the max you think ? 500ms ?

Still don't know how to describe those register btw, not a problem ?

[hirschmann]

I suggest to start at 3000ms and then decrease by 250 - 500ms until it works without problems.
A description would just be nice to have. I will accept the pull request without a description, as long as the config works properly.

[ragekit]

I didn't forget this. I'm just swamped by work now. Ill try to find a way to properly finish this config

Hi ragekit,

any progress on it? When can we get your final work?
I'm waiting for it! :-)

[ragekit]

Ok, new update. Ive been able to put the polling up to 300ms but more it does not work

[ragekit]

urgh no in fact 200ms is safer

[keresztesizoli]

I don't know why, but on "enabled" mode tha fan won't turn on. Even on very high temperatures!
Is it normal at this point of your config or not?

Thx,
Zoli

[ragekit]

The fan should turn on starting at 65deg. Its taken from a computer with similar spec.
Im changing the pol again it seems 200ms is juuuuuuuuust almoooost not enought

[DJWassink]

Just tested this config on my laptop, works pretty good.

Fun fact: Downloaded Prime95 today and my CPU wasn't able to get higher then ~70degrees with the fan spinning on 25%

Thanks @ragekit for your effort and thanks @DJWassink for testing!
