Let's set our Raspberry Pi's fan to turn on automatically when the temperature rises with script

In this video, we'll configure our fan to turn on and off when the programmed temperature arrives. By adding a Resistor and a Transistor, we can use the GPIG21 port so when it gets to 55 degrees our fan will turn on to cool the circuit, and when it gets to 48 degrees, our fan will turn off.
You will need the following components:
• 5V fan.
• NPN transistor 2N2222
• Resistance of 680 or 340 Ohns (resistance may vary depending on your fan power and quantity.)
• Cables for connecting to Raspberry Pi

Thanks for the video..

Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you found the video helpful. I will do my best to continue creating useful content for everyone.

fan control is build in now in the os: th-cam.com/video/AdjU_AVcZTA/w-d-xo.html

Hey, very cool video, with the help of your code I was able to write my own script for fan control. Here is my code (use with care, I'm a noob):
You will need to install RPi.GPIO to make this work.
import RPi.GPIO as gpio
import sys
import time
def cpu_temp():
with open("/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp", 'r') as f:
return float(f.read()) / 1000
gpio.setmode(gpio.BCM)
gpio.setup(18, gpio.OUT)
while True:
time.sleep(2)
temp = cpu_temp()
if temp > 55.0:
gpio.output(18, gpio.HIGH)
else:
gpio.output(18, gpio.LOW)
print("cpu temp: " + str(temp))

Your python script is not formatted wright I couldn't use it. I will look else where
