Hi Rolf. Nice set up! I have made a Zynth similar to yours (slightly smaller screen) and with a Hifiberry DAC/ADC.
I wonder what your thoughts are for using the cooling fan once you fit the soundcard? With my setup there is very little space between the main processor and the soundcard HAT - definiteyl not enough to fit the fan in. It seems to run ok with just a small heatsink stuck on the processor, but I don’t have it in a box yet, so there’s still plenty of airflow around it.
I now have an Argon fan installed. To activate it I had to install a script (3nd photo). I installed the script with the help of the terminal function off Zynthian webpage. It works wonderfully with Zynthian. When I switch on the power, the fan runs at 50% for a short time, then it switches off. If the temperature rises above 55 °C, the fan goes to 10% and is pleasantly quiet. The fan switches off at 45 °C.
Zynthian does not play any sound over Midi IN. I will uninstall the Argon Script and rebuild the Argon Fan Hat for fans on GPIO 14. That works fine without any problems.
I dismantled the Argon Fan Hat and restarted Zynthian. Midi In works again. I installed the Argon Fan Hat again and installed the Argon Script. Then I did a Zynthian update on the Zynthian webpage. Now Midi IN and Argon Fan Hat work together. I hope…
It is never easy with extra GPIO wiring and occupied pins. But nothing is unsolvable in zynthian, specially for stubborn people and with help of our friendly forum ! Good luck ! And please share the solution with us.
