Software

• Fan can be controlled in software, Python libraries with examples are available.
• A daemon (a service that runs in the background) is available, it runs the fan in automatic mode, triggering it on or off when the CPU reaches a threshold temperature, with a manual override via the tactile switch.

Notes

• When mounting or detaching the fan, or assembled Fan SHIM, do not push on the fan itself, as it is liable to break.
• Be careful to mount your Fan SHIM on the correct pins on your Pi, with the Pi shut down and power disconnected. Shifting it left by one pin or down a full row of pins could cause damage to both the Fan SHIM and the Pi.
• Raspberry Pi is not included
• Fan SHIM is NOT heatsink compatible
