A Qt based GUI for FanBoy
FanMan is a Qt5 based GUI for the FanBoy Open Source PWM USB fan controller. It provides a convenient interface for monitoring temperatures and fan status as well as for configuring fan control parameters.
This application relies on the Qt5 Application Framework, version 5.12 or later. If your distribution (Linux) or operating system (Windows, MacOS) uses a modular deployment of Qt make sure you have the following modules installed:
- qt5-base
- qt5-widgets
- qt5-charts
- qt5-serialport
The application makes use of CMake to provide a cross-platform build environment. Builds can be done out-of-tree as well as from within the repository.
A typical build on Linux can be done as follows:
$ cmake .
$ make -j8
FanMan consists of a single executable. It auto-detects the (USB) serial port to use for communicating with FanBoy. Please note that this mechanism relies on USB Vendor ID and Product ID and may cause confusion with other Arduino based devices.
FanMan saves the latest position and state of the main window. For having it run via autostart with hidden window, just make sure you close or hide (left-click on the tray icon) it before terminating the application.
