SG-1000 temperatures
-
If you upgrade to a recent snapshot you'll see that we removed the temperature reporting.
The value returned by the on board device is very inaccurate (+/- 10C) and it was causing far more concern than providing useful info. You can still read the value via the sysctl if required.

I will be pushing temperature limits on an SG-1000, is the status page now more accurate ?
Just testing some boundaries to establish if I need to add some heatsinking. -
How do you intend to do that? It already has heatsink and the case is made like that so air flow is optimal.
-
I've found that removing / not-attaching the little rubber feet, and cable-strapping it down against a metal rack shelf, helps dissipate the heat a bit better.
In another location I have one sitting a couple of feet behind a server exhaust fan (which doesn't run hot) for additional airflow ;)
Glad this thing isn't PoE-powered! 5V is easier to cool than 48V.
-
Good tip :) You could add a small fan to it, just put it over the case grill and it will help too!
-
Pretty much along the same lines as I was thinking. moikerz
I have several installed remotely in small boxes, screwed to aluminium plates. The fan is the next option if heat proves to be too much.
The question is: How much heat is too much? I have generally had temps of 76 on the Status page.
Is there another method of measuring and logging temps? -
Status page or command line will show temp. 76C is within acceptable range.

dev.am335x_scm.0.temperature: 51.0C
-
dev.am335x_scm.0.temperature: 51.0C
Cant' believe you didn't use a peltier heatsink. Geez.. ;)

Are you tellin' me this sucker is nuclear?
