Brushless fan controller
Project description
Introduction
CircuitPython driver for EMC2101 brushless fan controller
Dependencies
This driver depends on:
Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle.
Installing from PyPI
On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-emc2101To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-emc2101To install in a virtual environment in your current project:
mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-emc2101Usage Example
import time
import board
from adafruit_emc2101 import EMC2101
i2c = board.I2C() # uses board.SCL and board.SDA
emc = EMC2101(i2c)
print("Setting fan speed to 25%")
emc.manual_fan_speed = 25
time.sleep(2) # longer sleep to let it spin down from 100%
print("Fan speed", emc.fan_speed)Additional examples, including the use of the temperature look up table (LUT) can be found in the examples/ folder:
emc2101_lut_example.py
emc2101_set_pwm_freq.py
emc2101_simpletest.py
For access to some additional properties, but without configuring the LUT, use the intermediate class EMC2101_EXT:
import time
import board
from adafruit_emc2101 import EMC2101_EXT
i2c = board.I2C() # uses board.SCL and board.SDA
emc = EMC2101_EXT(i2c)
print("External limit temp is", emc.external_temp_high_limit)
print("Setting external limit temp to 50C")
emc.external_temp_high_limit = 50When the temperature limits are exceeded the device sets the alert bit in the status register and (if configured to do so) will raise the ALERT output pin as an interrupt.
EMC2101_EXT defines properties for internal and external temperature limits, and has register definitions for all registers except the LUT itself. The EMC2101_LUT class includes this as well.
The EMC2101_Regs class is intended for internal use, and defines register addresses.
