Fan Control
Everything is smart these days, even fans. I set it up so that it only turns on when the RPi CPU temperature gets too high. This is done with a Python script running on the RPi, reading temperature, and triggering a transistor to turn the fan on or off.
The fan works well to solve overheating problems and keeps the CPU temperature below 60C!
Time to Play!
Now it's time to catch up on all the old classics I never got a chance to try. I can also use it as a media centre with Kodi! This was a fun & rewarding project, and I think it's a very good, unique alternative to trying to design an ergonomic body from scratch. Finding a suitable controller that uses a standard USB connection and not having to use a USB hub would simplify things quite a lot. Thanks for reading!
