Control a cooling fan with gpio-fan (Device Tree Overlays)

I want to setup a cooling fan and enable it at temperature greater then 55 °C.
I found gpio-fan on device tree overlays.

Name:   gpio-fan
Info:   Configure a GPIO pin to control a cooling fan.
Load:   dtoverlay=gpio-fan,<param>=<val>
Params: gpiopin                 GPIO used to control the fan (default 12)
        temp                    Temperature at which the fan switches on, in
                                millicelcius (default 55000)

Reference: https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/tree/master/boot/overlays

Step to Setup

1. Setup a cooling fan and NPN transistor (S8050).

Reference:

• How to control a fan to cool the CPU of your RaspBerryPi
  https://hackernoon.com/how-to-control-a-fan-to-cool-the-cpu-of-your-raspberrypi-3313b6e7f92c

2. Add config device tree overlays on /boot/config.txt.

dtoverlay=gpio-fan,gpiopin=12,temp=55000

 temp = 55000 is millicelcius

3. Restart Raspberry PI

After reboot success.

Hope you enjoy with it.



If you don't want to use gpio-fan overlay.

Create file on /home/pi/bin/temp_montior

#!/bin/bash

GPIO_PIN=12

HIGH_TEMP=50000
SAVE_TEMP=45000

function get_temp() {
  cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp
}

function gpio_enable() {
  echo $1 > /sys/class/gpio/export
}

function gpio_disable() {
  echo $1 > /sys/class/gpio/unexport
}

function gpio_set_output() {
  echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio$1/direction
}

function gpio_set_input() {
  echo in > /sys/class/gpio/gpio$1/direction
}

function gpio_set_on() {
  echo 1  > /sys/class/gpio/gpio$1/value
}

function gpio_set_off() {
  echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio$1/value
}

function cleanup() {
  QUIT=1
}

QUIT=0

#echo "Enable GPIO ${GPIO_PIN}"
gpio_enable $GPIO_PIN

#echo "Set GPIO ${GPIO_PIN} Output"
gpio_set_output $GPIO_PIN

#echo "set GPIO ${GPIO_PIN} on"
#gpio_set_on $GPIO_PIN

LASTSTATUS=0


trap cleanup SIGINT SIGTERM

while [ 1 ]; do
  cputemp=$(get_temp)
  #echo "CPU TEMP = $cputemp"
  if [ $LASTSTATUS = 0 ]; then
    if [ $cputemp -gt $HIGH_TEMP ]; then
      echo "FAN ON"
      echo "CPU TEMP = $cputemp"
      gpio_set_on $GPIO_PIN
      LASTSTATUS=1
    fi
  else
    if [ $cputemp -lt $SAVE_TEMP ]; then
      echo "FAN OFF"
      echo "CPU TEMP = $cputemp"
      gpio_set_off $GPIO_PIN
      LASTSTATUS=0
    fi
  fi
  if [ "$QUIT" = "1" ]; then break; fi
  sleep 1
done

#echo "set GPIO ${GPIO_PIN} off"
gpio_set_off $GPIO_PIN

#echo "Disable GPIO ${GPIO_PIN}"
gpio_disable $GPIO_PIN

Change mode for execute file

$ chmod 755 /home/pi/bin/temp_montior

Add this script to startup.
Edit /etc/rc.local and add line before exit 0

$ sudo nano /etc/rc.local

...
/home/pi/bin/temp_monitor &
...
exit0

You can change GPIO_PIN, HIGH_TEMP and SAVE_TEMP for gpio pin, start and stop fan

Shutdown Button with Device Tree Overlays

I want to create shutdown button for raspberry pi.

I found gpio-shutdown parameter for enable Device Tree Overlays on new firmware.

Name:   gpio-shutdown
Info:   Initiates a shutdown when GPIO pin changes. The given GPIO pin
        is configured as an input key that generates KEY_POWER events.
        This event is handled by systemd-logind by initiating a
        shutdown. Systemd versions older than 225 need an udev rule
        enable listening to the input device:

                ACTION!="REMOVE", SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="event*", \
                        SUBSYSTEMS=="platform", DRIVERS=="gpio-keys", \
                        ATTRS{keys}=="116", TAG+="power-switch"

        This overlay only handles shutdown. After shutdown, the system
        can be powered up again by driving GPIO3 low. The default
        configuration uses GPIO3 with a pullup, so if you connect a
        button between GPIO3 and GND (pin 5 and 6 on the 40-pin header),
        you get a shutdown and power-up button.
Load:   dtoverlay=gpio-shutdown,<param>=<val>
Params: gpio_pin                GPIO pin to trigger on (default 3)

        active_low              When this is 1 (active low), a falling
                                edge generates a key down event and a
                                rising edge generates a key up event.
                                When this is 0 (active high), this is
                                reversed. The default is 1 (active low).

        gpio_pull               Desired pull-up/down state (off, down, up)
                                Default is "up".

                                Note that the default pin (GPIO3) has an
                                external pullup.

Reference: https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/tree/master/boot/overlays


Step to create shutdown switch

• Connect switch to GPIO3.

• Add config device tree overlays on /boot/config.txt.

dtoverlay=gpio-shutdown,gpio_pin=3,active_low=1,gpio_pull=up

•  Create file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-gpio-power.rules

ACTION!="REMOVE", SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="event*", \
                        SUBSYSTEMS=="platform", DRIVERS=="gpio-keys", \
                        ATTRS{keys}=="116", TAG+="power-switch"

• And restart raspberry pi.

After reboot success. I try to push switch.
It works ;). My raspberry pi is shutdown.

Hope to help you.

*** I2C must be deactivated if you use pin 3. (Thank you @Irmoreno007)

Mantistek WA150 (WIFI+Bluetooth) RTL8723BU

I buy Mantistek WA150 to use on Raspberry PI. It has both WIFI and Bluetooth.

The raspbian kernel version 4.14.52+ #1123. It hasn't driver to use it.

I use command.

$ dmesg

I found. Raspbian can detect bluetooth device but it isn't have firmware. (rtl8723b_fw.bin)

[   14.665558] bluetooth hci0: Direct firmware load for rtl_bt/rtl8723b_config.bin failed with error -2
[   14.665824] bluetooth hci0: Direct firmware load for rtl_bt/rtl8723b_fw.bin failed with error -2
[   14.665842] Bluetooth: hci0: Failed to load rtl_bt/rtl8723b_fw.bin

I use command for check usb device id.

$ lsusb

I found.

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0bda:b720 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.

The USB Device ID is 0bda:b720.

I search device id for identify device. I found RTL8723BU (not RTL8723AU).

I found driver and firmware.

$ sudo cp rtl8723b_config /lib/firmware/rtl_bt/rtl8723b_config.bin
$ sudo cp rtl8723b_fw /lib/firmware/rtl_bt/rtl8723b_fw.bin

And restart raspberry pi

Test bluetooth scan with command.

$ hcitool scan

Scanning ...
          XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX       xxxxxx
          XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX       xxxxxx

It work.

And check WIFI interface with command.

$ ifconfig

It work. I found wlan0 interface.

wlan0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 17  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        RX errors 0  dropped 80  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

And try to config wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf for wlan0 interface

$ echo -e "ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev\nupdate_config=1\ncountry=TH\n\n" | sudo tee /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf

 Add SSID and Password of Accesspoint to wpa_supplicant config file

$ wpa_passphrase test 12345678 | sudo tee -a /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf

And restart raspbian. Finish step.

Have a good day everyone. 😎

irrecord -  application for recording IR-codes for usage with lirc

Copyright (C) 1998,1999 Christoph Bartelmus(lirc@bartelmus.de)

This program will record the signals from your remote control
and create a config file for lircd.


A proper config file for lircd is maybe the most vital part of this
package, so you should invest some time to create a working config
file. Although I put a good deal of effort in this program it is often
not possible to automatically recognize all features of a remote
control. Often short-comings of the receiver hardware make it nearly
impossible. If you have problems to create a config file READ THE
DOCUMENTATION of this package, especially section "Adding new remote
controls" for how to get help.

If there already is a remote control of the same brand available at
http://www.lirc.org/remotes/ you might also want to try using such a
remote as a template. The config files already contain all
parameters of the protocol used by remotes of a certain brand and
knowing these parameters makes the job of this program much
easier. There are also template files for the most common protocols
available in the remotes/generic/ directory of the source
distribution of this package. You can use a template files by
providing the path of the file as command line parameter.

Please send the finished config files to  so that I
can make them available to others. Don't forget to put all information
that you can get about the remote control in the header of the file.

Press RETURN to continue.


Now start pressing buttons on your remote control.

It is very important that you press many different buttons and hold them
down for approximately one second. Each button should generate at least one
dot but in no case more than ten dots of output.
Don't stop pressing buttons until two lines of dots (2x80) have been
generated.

Press RETURN now to start recording.
