ROCKPro64 Fan Controller

This system is a Python-based service for controlling the fan of the 10mm heatsink with fan. The fan speed is configurable as a text file to optimize for thermals or noise.

Customizing The Fan Curve

By default, the fan curve file is in /etc/FanControl/FanCurve.txt. Each line contains a fan curve point, with the first number being the temperature in celsius and the second number is the relative fan speed as a decimal. Note that the fan will be off if set below 0.25. The following is a fan curve with 25% at 60oC, 60% at 90oC, and 100% at 100oC:

60,0.25
90,0.6
100,1
