# mbpfan will load the max / min speed of from the files produced by the applesmc driver. If these files are not found it will set all fans to the default of min_speed = 2000 and max_speed = 6200
# by setting the values for the speeds in this config it will override whatever it finds in:
# /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/fan*_min
# /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/fan*_max
# or the defaults.
#
# multiple fans can be configured by using the config key of min_fan*_speed and max_fan*_speed
# the number used will correlate to the file number of the fan in the applesmc driver that are used to control the fan speed.

[Fixes #79] mbpfan.conf self-explains itself 2016-06-05 07:55:17 +00:00			`# see https://ineed.coffee/3838/a-beginners-tutorial-for-mbpfan-under-ubuntu for the values`
Add support for many processors (not just cores) Add an outer loop in mbpfan.c:retrieve_sensors to loop over all coretemp directories. Also increase hard-coded limits from 10 to 12 or 16 since the temp endpoints are sometimes indexed that high. For example, this is required for supporting a Mac Pro with two processors of 16 cores, requiring /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon0/temp{1..12} /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.1/hwmon/hwmon1/temp{1..12} Fixes #152. 2019-01-18 19:26:11 +00:00			`#`

Change default polling_interval to 1 This allows mbpfan to react more quickly to changing workloads and avoid CPU throttling. Also change unit test expectations. Fixes #159. 2019-01-18 19:32:16 +00:00			`polling_interval = 1 # default is 1 seconds`
