“It arrived speedily the instructions for use and fitting were excellent apart from two minor issues. The reset button is hidden by their own case and difficult to spot, so the instructions could be a bit more specific about where it is, and github for the library now requires proper authentication and an account (again a note stating this would be helpful).
The program works perfectly and so does the fan.”
Ahoy Andrew - thanks for the review!
The fan shim repo is public so it shouldn't need you to be logged in to Github to clone it - please can you let us know what command you were running and the error you got so we can try and replicate it?
“Managed to squeeze this into a Retroflag NesPi 4 case, using some stand-offs above heatsinks. Works really well to keep it cool, only triggering at configured temperatures when required. There was a pin clash with the switching for the LED's on the fan shim, but given it's inside the case it didn't matter and I just ran the config script to leave the fan shim LED's off.”
“I coupled this with a heatsink (also needed a booster header for mounting the fan) and now my RPi 4 is chilling even under load. Great value for money and easy to install, including the software!”
