Ultra Thin Ice Tower Cooler for Raspberry Pi 4B

Ultrathin_main.jpg

Description

This is an ultra-thin ice tower cooler that only supports Raspberry Pi 4B. It includes ultra-thin fans and supports fan speed regulation. The speed can be controlled by programming the GPIO pins of the Raspberry Pi, and the heat sink is ultra-thin.

Features

  • Ultra Thin
  • Support fan speed regultion
  • Support Raspberry Pi 4B ONLY
  • Good Heat dissipation effect
  • 4010 Fan with PWM adjustable speed feature

How to control fan speed

  • Default OS: Raspberry Pi OS
  • GPIO 14 is connected to fan pwm controller pin, you can just testing by using this code and modify it as you well.
  • Create a file named fan_control.py
  • Copy and paste following code
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
import subprocess as sp

# initializing GPIO, setting mode to BOARD.

# Default pin of fan is physical pin 8, GPIO14

Fan = 8
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)
GPIO.setup(Fan, GPIO.OUT)

p = GPIO.PWM(Fan, 50)
p.start(0)

try:
    while True:
        temp = sp.getoutput("vcgencmd measure_temp|egrep -o '[0-9]*\.[0-9]*'")
        # print(temp)

        if float(temp) < 48.0:
            p.ChangeDutyCycle(0)
        elif float(temp) > 48.0 and float(temp) < 60.0:
            p.ChangeDutyCycle(100)
            time.sleep(0.1)
        elif float(temp) > 60.0:
            p.ChangeDutyCycle(100)
            time.sleep(0.1)

except KeyboardInterrupt:
    pass
p.stop()
GPIO.cleanup()
  • Save it and test it
