I just purchased my first argon product… the argon pod case kit for raspberry pi zero 2 w… and I couldn’t get it to work as it should… not a clear response I have received from support yet… my first and last product from Argon…

What is your specific Issue?
I’ve just registered to ask a question but don’t see a new option so replying here.
I have a RPi 5 2gb and bought it with a Poly+ 5 case and fan to run Libreelec and Kodi (currently on latest LibreElec nightly build).
The fan is running on full whack.
I presume I need to add some config or scripts but there is nothing in the included manual or the instructions page here. In the forum I see references to questions on scripts but no link to them anywhere.
How Do I configure the fan control?
because in the manual I can’t recognize on that way the fan is connected to the RPi5 pcb. So I assume it’s the official fan connector. Recent kernel versions have support on that and you can try to manipulate via dtparams described here::

You can first check which mode is currently active:
cat /sys/class/thermal/cooling_device0/cur_state
and try to stop the fan manually:
echo "0" > /sys/class/thermal/cooling_device0/cur_state
Yes, it plugs not the “proper” fan socket. Alas, in one of many disassembles I must have put in the wrong way round and buggered up the pins. So problem solved, no more fan!
Many thanks for your response, though.
