Argon One Case - Raspberry Pi 4
-
Hello there, I've got this new case a month ago, but I don't know how to install on Retropie. Tried to live for a few days in the Lakkaverse, but it was not for me.
When there, found these instructionsFollow these instruction to install Argon One script on Lakka:
Download the precompiled Python libs of RPi.GPIO and smbus and extract them in /storage/.lib (these are built for RPI4)
OR
build them yourself by downloading RPi.GPIO and smbus sources, extracting them, and running python setup.py build in each of the two folders. If you did it correctly you'll find your precompiled Python lib in build/local-something/ directory. It's important to build the precompiled libs in the same RPi that will run Lakka. You can easily do it by installing a full-featured distro like Raspbian or similar.Use this script to install Argon daemons (it's a copy of the official script for LibreELEC with different paths of the precompiled Python libs)
That's all!

Is there any workaround to install the script or I am forever bounded to have only passive cooling?

Flash that image then follow the install instructions that came in the booklet that came with your argon one case to install the argon one shutdown/fan control script.Keep in mind that is a WIP build for retropie, it's not officially supported yet on the pi 4.
