smsfan 1.1.3

A set of functions to control Sequent Microsystems Smart Fan card

sfan

This is the python library to control the Smart Fan Card for Raspberry Pi.

Install

sudo pip install SMsfan

or

sudo pip3 install SMsfan

Update

sudo pip install SMsfan -U

or

sudo pip3 install SMsfan -U

Now you can import the sfan library and use its functions. To test, read processor temperature from the Smart Fan with stack level 0:

~$ python
Python 2.7.9 (default, Sep 17 2016, 20:26:04)
[GCC 4.9.2] on linux2

>>> import sfan
>>> sfan.getProcTemp(0)
31
>>>

Functions

setPower(stack, power)

Set the Smart Fan power

stack - stack level, set with jumper [0/1]

power - Fan power [0..100]

getPower(stack)

Return the fan power [0..100]

stack - stack level, set with jumper [0/1]

setSafetyTemp(stack, temp):

Set the Smart Fan safety temperature. If fan processor temperature exceeds this value fan will run 100%

stack - stack level, set with jumper [0/1]

tenp - Safety temperature in degree Celsius [30..80]

getSafetyTemp(stack)

Return the fan safety temperature in degree Celsius [30..80]

stack - stack level, set with jumper [0/1]

getProcTemp(stack)

Return the fan processor temperature in degree Celsius

stack - stack level, set with jumper [0/1]

setLedBlink(stack, blink):

Turn the Smart Fan led blink on or off

stack - stack level, set with jumper [0/1]

blink - Led blinking enable [0/1]

getLedBlink(stack)

Return the fan led blinking [0/1]

stack - stack level, set with jumper [0/1]

setStopInt(stack, seconds)

Set the stop interval in seconds. The fan will run 100% specified seconds then stop.

stack - stack level, set with jumper [0/1]

seconds - how long fan will run [1..65000]

getStopInt(stack)

Return remaining time until fan will stop

stack - stack level, set with jumper [0/1]
