After testing out with Raspian and confirming that everythings works I installed batocera.linux on my Raspberry Pi 5 and activated pironman from the batocera menu. Now the oled display works but the fans are always blowing even though my settings are set to quiet:
[root@BATOCERA /userdata/system]# pironman5 -c
{
“auto”: {
“rgb\_color”: “#0a1aff”,
“rgb\_brightness”: 50,
“rgb\_style”: “breathing”,
“rgb\_speed”: 50,
“rgb\_enable”: true,
“rgb\_led\_count”: 4,
“temperature\_unit”: “C”,
“gpio\_fan\_mode”: 4,
“gpio\_fan\_pin”: 6
}
}
Any suggestions of what I can try to qiuet it down?
Update: I get this error when starting the pironman service:
25/01/16 16:53:09.206 [DEBUG] FanControl init
25/01/16 16:53:09.206 [DEBUG] Init GPIO Fan with pin: 6
/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/gpiozero/devices.py:295: PinFactoryFallback: Falling back from lgpio: ‘can not open gpiochip’
warnings.warn(
GPIO Fan init error: Cannot determine SOC peripheral base address
25/01/16 16:53:09.246 [WARNING] GPIO Fan init failed, disable gpio\_fan control
What could that mean ?

The issue come from batocera, they need to work on it with new update…

Thank you. I see that a workaround is posted on the batocera discord server.
