A case with active cooling for 1Gb pine64

[ishwest]

I couldn't quite justify a 90mm or 120mm fan this time

Well… I can imagine a 2Gb board with radiators on both sides of the PCB + a busy WiFi/BT POT probably with a heatsink of it's own + DC2DC converter for better power supply, all in one enclosure – this would be a Frankenstein of a pine64, but an 80+ mm cooler might be in order… just kidding :-)

I take it the magic is in this statement?

Code:

return random.randint(0,101) <= 100 * (higher_temp - high_mid_temp) / (TEMP_ON - high_mid_temp)

Yes, this is the one that rolls the dice for turning the motor on. The one for turning it off is as follows:

Code:

return random.randint(0,101) <= 100 - 100 * (higher_temp - TEMP_OFF) / (low_mid_temp - TEMP_OFF)

Somewhat clumsy but does the job :-)

I hope you'll have fun with it!
