vznncv-geekwork-x735-v2.5

Debian package version of geekwork-x735-v2.5 scripts.

Unlike original scripts it has the following differences:

• safe shutdown script is integrated as special systemd service and is activated automatically by default shutdown command.
• FAN uses hardware PWM implementation.
• FAN start/stop parameters can be adjusted via '/etc/geekworm/config.conf' configuration.

Installation

1. Download package from github releases section or build package locally with package/build_debian_package.sh script.

2. Copy and install package to raspberry pi:

   sudo dpkg -i geekworm-x735-v2.5_<package_version>_all.deb
   sudo apt-get install --fix-broken

Uninstallation

sudo apt-get remove geekworm-x735-v2.5

Power consumption optimization

Fan script uses pigpiod, that consumes 4-6% of CPU in idle state. To reduce CPU usage you can disable alert functionality of pigpiod, as it isn't requires by fan scripts:

1. Edit file /usr/lib/systemd/system/pigpiod.service to add -m -s 10 to daemon startup options:

   # ...
   [Service]
   ExecStart=/usr/bin/pigpiod -l -m -s 10
   # ...
   

2. Reload systemd and restart service:

   sudo systemctl daemon-reload
   sudo systemctl restart pigpiod
   

Configuration

If you need to check fan settings (minimal temperature to start fan, etc.), you need to edit /etc/geekworm/config.conf configuration file and restart fan service:

sudo systemctl restart geekworm-x735-fan
