[App_rpt-users] GPIO fan control script now available

[Jim Kehler]

Look at it this way, Marshal. Let's say you get up on Friday morning and 
your wife
wants to go out to dinner that night. At 6 PM you find out that every 
restaurant
within 500 miles of your house has closed up and gone out of business, 
with the
exception of one; Freddy's Diner.

So you have no choice. You have to take the wife to Freddy's. And the 
only thing
you'll get to eat at Freddy's is whatever Freddy decides to feed you. If 
Freddy
doesn't want you have Apple Pie, you aren't going to get any Apple Pie. 
No matter
how much you beg Freddy.....

I've only been playing with this stuff for about a month. I'd never seen 
Linux. Some
documentation I found assumed that I was proficient with Linux, which 
I'm not. So
banging around in Google finding bits and pieces was a learning 
experience; I don't
like to just make something work, I want to know how it works so that if 
it breaks,
I can fix it.

Documentation at all levels is a good thing. The more the merrier. As 
long as Google
is still in business, it's available to anybody that wants to go find 
it. All the scripts
in one place sounds like a terrific idea to me. Hopefully the guys who 
wrote them
won't assume I know how to use them when I find them.

That being said, does anybody know where I can find the fan script? My 
radio is
hot....

73, Jim KH2D
