Automation, sensing and robotics • Re: Broken RPi5 Fan Connector – Need Help Connecting Noctua 5V PWM Fan to GPIO

I tried generate some code via chatgpt but it seems a lot of GPIO libraries is not supported on RPI5. So this python code below works for me with Noctua NF-A4x10 5V PWM connected to GPIO.

more details about connection is for example there -> https://blog.driftking.tw/en/2019/11/Us ... its-Speed/

my code in python

Code:

from gpiozero import PWMOutputDeviceimport timeimport osFAN_PWM_PIN = 18  # GPIO18 (physical pin 12)# Safe frequency for LGPIO / Pi 5 PWM: 800 Hzfan = PWMOutputDevice(FAN_PWM_PIN, frequency=800, initial_value=0)def get_cpu_temp():    temp_str = os.popen("vcgencmd measure_temp").readline()    return float(temp_str.replace("temp=", "").replace("'C\n", ""))try:    while True:        temp = get_cpu_temp()                if temp < 45:            duty = 0.0        else:            duty = 0.5 + ((temp - 45) // 5) * 0.1            if duty > 1.0:                duty = 1.0                fan.value = duty        print(f"Temp: {temp:.1f}°C | Fan duty: {duty*100:.0f}%")                time.sleep(5)except KeyboardInterrupt:    print("Stopping fan...")    fan.value = 0
