“Works like a charm, especially with the python driver that autodetects the temperature and acts on the fan as necessary.
A pity that the button is not very easily acccessible when used with the piBow (would be much easier if it were on top rather than on the side of the shim.
Anyway, a fan is definitely MUST HAVE for any Pi4+4GB RAM due to thermal throttling. Plus so much fun assembling it and simply sliding it on the connector!”
“Excellent option for cooling the Raspberry Pi 4, previously I was idling at 65 celsius without the Fan SHIM and now I'm idling at 39 celsius. The daemon is very easy to use and it's reassuring to know that the SHIM will automatically kick into action when the temperature you specified is exceeded.
My suggestions for the next iteration of the Fan SHIM would be for the PCB to feel more robust during assembly, and for a way to control the RPM of the fan, although the fan is already very quiet but I would prefer to have more control over this.”
