  How to control fan speed mannualy.

• Open a terminal and typing following command:

  deskpi-config
  

  You can follow the instructions to setup fan speed level by typing numbers as following example:

  Selection explain

• The number from 1 to 4 is to setting your fan speed to a static level.
• Number 5 is just turn off the fan.
• Number 6 is to guide you to create a file located to /etc/deskpi.conf and you can specify the threshold of temperature and fan speed level according to your idea, once the file has been created, the program will according to the configuration file to setup your fan.
• Number 7 is to enable automatic fan control by default paramaters. ** Default arguments:

  TEMP   : Fan_SPEED_LEVEL
  <40C   : 0%  
  40~50C : 25%  
  50~65C : 50%  
  65~75C : 75%  
  >75C   : 100%  
  

  ** If you want to change it, just typing :

  deskpi-config
  

  Select 6 and then input 45 and enter, and then input 50 means setup the fan speed level to 50% when CPU temp is above 45 degree it has 4 level to setup. NOTE: 50% Speed level means you have already send PWM50 to /dev/ttyUSB0 port, and this port will available when you add dtoverlay=dwc2,dr_mode=host to /boot/config.txt file and reboot your DeskPi.
