Argon-script for Pi5

Hey guys, hope u’r doin’ well!?

Q: Is there anyone out there (by chance) who adapted the “argon-script” for the Pi5 in combination with the Argon ONE v3 case? This is what I use and and it would be nice to get this control-script for its powerbutton & ventilation working under :enos: .

I tried with Github copilot but this produces one :poop: after the other. :face_with_spiral_eyes:

Thx in adv., best,
Flo

I have never owned an Argon one case of any type, but this should work.

go to here:
Argon one V3 manual
and scroll down to section E.

This is just a script so it should work with EnOS.

My apologies for dredging up an old topic, however I wanted to add some info regarding this script. I have the Argon1 V5 that also uses their install script. It fails because the script includes a few apt-get calls and package checks that fail when running due to expecting a Debian system. I attempted to edit it myself and was able to get it to run and seemingly finish successfully, but something about i2c-tools (despite being installed) fails to communicate data for system stats. Additionally the OLED doesn’t seem to power up, nor display any info.

The largest offender in the script that caused me failures is the check for python3-smbus & python3-luma.oled. Attemps to manually install these using pacman failed since it couldn’t find those files.

That luma item specifically causes the i2c tools to fail to collect temp & usage data for the OLED. I am not well versed on a lot of the coding because I am still new to EOS & and suuuuper rusty on Linux in general, but I was hoping to help contribute in case someone with more knowledge than me could assist.

edit: The GPIO checks in the script may be part of the problem as well due to looking for something in the RPI world specifically I am missing or failing to see.

As a matter of fact, these are different devices with their own installer scripts.

Check their wiki for the devices. https://wiki.argon40.com/en/AssemblyGuides/V5/ArgonONEV5 would be their instructions for the Argon One V5.

It’s not directly state within their wiki or the product page, but if you check their guide, they require Raspberry Pi OS. The installer script has some rudimentary support for Raspian, Debian and Ubuntu as well, but this is flagged as an todo in that installer script itself. Currently only packages which are required for the use of GPIOs are implemented for the different distros / package managers.

Nevertheless, that installer script mostly seems to fetch '.sh or '.py files via wget from their own servers. In addition to some '.bin files, especially in terms of the OLED. You may get it to work by inspecting their code base for the individual python modules required to be installed.

If that would be worth the effort is a different question.

Oh yes. I’m fully aware. I brought it up because both scripts will have similar issues despite being different SKUs.

Edit: and thank you for the assist!
