I installed both 1.2.15 and 1.2.17 versions but so far no success in getting the screen to turn on nor the RGB lights on the fans. The fans do spin and I can control them from the dashboard. I have the following ouput from early troubleshooting : osark@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo i2cdetect -y 1 Error: Could not open file `/dev/i2c-1' or `/dev/i2c/1’: No such file or directory osark@raspberrypi:~ $ cat /var/log/pironman5/main.log 25/08/22 07:53:45.210 [DEBUG] Pironman5 version: 1.2.15 25/08/22 07:53:45.211 [DEBUG] Variant: Pironman 5 25/08/22 07:53:45.211 [DEBUG] Config: {‘system’: {‘data\_interval’: 1, ‘rgb\_color’: ‘#0a1aff’, ‘rgb\_brightness’: 50, ‘rgb\_style’: ‘breathing’, ‘rgb\_speed’: 50, ‘rgb\_enable’: True, ‘rgb\_led\_count’: 4, ‘temperature\_unit’: ‘C’, ‘oled\_enable’: True, ‘oled\_rotation’: 0, ‘oled\_disk’: ‘total’, ‘oled\_network\_interface’: ‘all’, ‘gpio\_fan\_pin’: 6, ‘gpio\_fan\_mode’: 0}} 25/08/22 07:53:45.212 [DEBUG] Device info: {‘name’: ‘Pironman 5’, ‘id’: ‘pironman5’, ‘peripherals’: [‘storage’, ‘cpu’, ‘network’, ‘memory’, ‘history’, ‘log’, ‘ws2812’, ‘cpu\_temperature’, ‘gpu\_temperature’, ‘temperature\_unit’, ‘oled’, ‘clear\_history’, ‘delete\_log\_file’, ‘pwm\_fan\_speed’, ‘gpio\_fan\_state’, ‘gpio\_fan\_mode’], ‘version’: ‘1.2.15’, ‘app\_name’: ‘pironman5’} 25/08/22 07:53:45.212 [DEBUG] PM\_Auto version: 1.2.11 25/08/22 07:53:45.212 [DEBUG] PM\_Dashboard version: 1.2.7 25/08/22 07:53:45.629 [INFO] PMAuto started 25/08/22 07:53:45.712 [INFO] PmDashboard started 25/08/22 07:57:17.330 [INFO] Received signal “Terminated”, cleaning up… 25/08/22 07:57:17.331 [INFO] Stopping Pironman5 25/08/22 07:57:17.331 [INFO] Stopping PMAuto 25/08/22 07:57:17.726 [INFO] Stopping PmDashboard 25/08/22 07:57:17.851 [INFO] Pironman5 stopped 25/08/22 07:57:17.852 [WARNING] Thread Thread-1 is still alive 25/08/22 07:57:18.441 [DEBUG] Pironman5 version: 1.2.15 25/08/22 07:57:18.441 [DEBUG] Variant: Pironman 5 25/08/22 07:57:18.441 [DEBUG] Config: {‘system’: {‘data\_interval’: 1, ‘rgb\_color’: ‘#0a1aff’, ‘rgb\_brightness’: 50, ‘rgb\_style’: ‘breathing’, ‘rgb\_speed’: 50, ‘rgb\_enable’: True, ‘rgb\_led\_count’: 4, ‘temperature\_unit’: ‘C’, ‘oled\_enable’: True, ‘oled\_rotation’: 0, ‘oled\_disk’: ‘total’, ‘oled\_network\_interface’: ‘all’, ‘gpio\_fan\_pin’: 6, ‘gpio\_fan\_mode’: 2}} 25/08/22 07:57:18.441 [DEBUG] Device info: {‘name’: ‘Pironman 5’, ‘id’: ‘pironman5’, ‘peripherals’: [‘storage’, ‘cpu’, ‘network’, ‘memory’, ‘history’, ‘log’, ‘ws2812’, ‘cpu\_temperature’, ‘gpu\_temperature’, ‘temperature\_unit’, ‘oled’, ‘clear\_history’, ‘delete\_log\_file’, ‘pwm\_fan\_speed’, ‘gpio\_fan\_state’, ‘gpio\_fan\_mode’], ‘version’: ‘1.2.15’, ‘app\_name’: ‘pironman5’} 25/08/22 07:57:18.441 [DEBUG] PM\_Auto version: 1.2.11 25/08/22 07:57:18.441 [DEBUG] PM\_Dashboard version: 1.2.7 25/08/22 07:57:18.513 [INFO] PMAuto started 25/08/22 07:57:18.583 [INFO] PmDashboard started 25/08/22 08:13:02.876 [INFO] Received signal “Terminated”, cleaning up… 25/08/22 08:13:02.876 [INFO] Stopping Pironman5 25/08/22 08:13:02.876 [INFO] Stopping PMAuto 25/08/22 08:13:03.851 [INFO] Stopping PmDashboard 25/08/22 08:13:04.934 [INFO] Pironman5 stopped 25/08/22 08:13:04.934 [WARNING] Thread Thread-1 is still alive 25/08/22 08:13:35.311 [INFO] 25/08/22 08:13:35.320 [INFO] ############################################################ 25/08/22 08:13:35.320 [DEBUG] Config path: /opt/pironman5/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pironman5/config.json 25/08/22 08:13:35.320 [DEBUG] Pironman5 version: 1.2.17 25/08/22 08:13:35.320 [DEBUG] Variant: Pironman 5 25/08/22 08:13:35.320 [DEBUG] Config: {‘system’: {‘data\_interval’: 1, ‘rgb\_color’: ‘#0a1aff’, ‘rgb\_brightness’: 50, ‘rgb\_style’: ‘breathing’, ‘rgb\_speed’: 50, ‘rgb\_enable’: True, ‘rgb\_led\_count’: 4, ‘temperature\_unit’: ‘C’, ‘oled\_enable’: True, ‘oled\_rotation’: 0, ‘oled\_disk’: ‘total’, ‘oled\_network\_interface’: ‘all’, ‘gpio\_fan\_pin’: 6, ‘gpio\_fan\_mode’: 0, ‘debug\_level’: ‘INFO’}} 25/08/22 08:13:35.321 [DEBUG] Device info: {‘name’: ‘Pironman 5’, ‘id’: ‘pironman5’, ‘peripherals’: [‘storage’, ‘cpu’, ‘network’, ‘memory’, ‘history’, ‘log’, ‘ws2812’, ‘cpu\_temperature’, ‘gpu\_temperature’, ‘temperature\_unit’, ‘oled’, ‘clear\_history’, ‘delete\_log\_file’, ‘pwm\_fan\_speed’, ‘gpio\_fan\_state’, ‘gpio\_fan\_mode’], ‘version’: ‘1.2.17’, ‘app\_name’: ‘pironman5’} 25/08/22 08:13:35.321 [DEBUG] PM\_Auto version: 1.2.12 25/08/22 08:13:35.321 [DEBUG] PM\_Dashboard version: 1.2.10 25/08/22 08:13:43.667 [INFO] PMAuto started 25/08/22 08:13:43.754 [INFO] PmDashboard started ---

So I have managed to get the screen to work by enabling the IC2 interface, but the RGBs on fans still don’t turn on. The fans do spin and I can control them on the dashboard. RGBs on the GPIO extension board do turn on tho. ---

Are all the functions of your pironman5 max case working properly now? From the logs you provided, there are no error messages. Is the LED of your RGB fan working now? You can control the RGB fan’s LED switch in the dashboard settings (as shown in the picture). Have you set the RGB FAN to ON to see if the RGB fan’s LED lights up normally? ![image (47)](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/sunfounder/original/2X/a/a738f2796b89f48bc0823593cf576dfbbdedce57.png)
