Argon One is one of the best Raspberry Pi cases, it combines decent cooling, easy access to the GPIO pins, and power button, and an awesome design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By default, the built-in fan is inactive and the device does not automatically boot when plugged in power. Ideally, when running your Raspberry Pi as a server, you expect it to reboot after a blackout. For this, let’s go through some configuration on our Raspberry Pi to control to control the Argon One case for our server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Installing Argon Config<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first thing to do is to install get and run the argon1.sh which installs a utility that helps us configure the case’s fan:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

curl https:\/\/download.argon40.com\/argon1.sh | bash<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
I also uploaded the script on GitHub as a Gist here<\/a> in case the argon40 website is offline. Now the argonone-config<\/code> command should be available on your system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Configuring Argon’s Fan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you want to change the fan behavior at a later time, you will be able to use the argonone-config<\/code> command. Here is an example setting Fan to always on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
thanos@dinodevs:~$ argonone-config\n--------------------------------------\nArgon One Fan Speed Configuration Tool\n--------------------------------------\nWARNING: This will remove existing configuration.\nPress Y to continue:y\nThank you.\n\nSelect fan mode:\n  1. Always on\n  2. Adjust to temperatures (55C, 60C, and 65C)\n  3. Customize behavior\n  4. Cancel\nNOTE: You can also edit \/etc\/argononed.conf directly\nEnter Number (1-4):1\n\nFan always on.\nthanos@dinodevs:~$<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
By following the printed instructions you will also be able to configure a custom fan behavior. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Configuring Power & Power Button Behavior<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The next step is to change the behavior of the case when plugged in so that our device boots automatically. To do that we have to run:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
i2cset -y 1 0x01a 0xfe<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
To restore the power behavior back to the default one, where you have to press the power button for the device to boot, you can run:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
i2cset -y 1 0x01a 0xfd<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
If for any reason you want to uninstall the argonone utility, run:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
argonone-uninstall<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
So now you know how to set up your Raspberry Pi with the Argon One case as a server!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
