[SOLVED] Argon case + script

Help and Support Help
1

Hi,

I put my rpi4 in the argon one case.
They give a script for debian based Os to manage power off, fan speed…

The steps are :

1/sudo wget download.argon40.com/argon1.sh
2/ sudo chmod 755 ./argon1.sh
3/ sudo ./argon1.sh

I try on other debian based os and it works fine.
But here on volumio i receive an error.

    volumio@volumio:~$ sudo ./argon1.sh
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree       
    Reading state information... Done
    E: Unable to locate package raspi-gpio
    ********************************************************************
    Please also connect device to the internet and restart installation.
    ********************************************************************
    volumio@volumio:~$

Volumio is wired connected to internet (see screenshot below)
How could i deal with this ?
Thanks for helping.

You would need to install the missing package raspi-gpio, which is not part of the standard Raspbian repository.

P.S. Do so at your own risk.

This case is incredible !
I top to 40° after 2 hours of playing music on my PI4.

Here the guide to install the script

The installation steps :

1/ Connect SSH to volumio
2/ sudo apt update
3/ sudo apt install raspi.gpio
4/ sudo wget download.argon40.com/argon1.sh
5/ sudo chmod 755 ./argon1.sh
6/ sudo ./argon1.sh

Wait the script does the work and try to shutdown volumio using web interface
Then you will have a complete shutdown with power off.

Done !

How to use it :

To manage fan, go SSH use this command and follow the guide provide with the case

argonone-config

If you want to uninstall the hole script

argonone-uninstall

Dear @a491765,

Thanks a lot for your valuable post. About me, I have just started to explore Argon M.2 Case and installed Volumio on the same. I know it is a too much to ask but can you please help me with the following —

  1. What all scripts or installations you made while installing Volumio on the Argon Case ?

Can you please guide me on the same before I start using the Argon case for Volumio.

Did you look at the manual provided with the Argon, page 12?

Thanks @Wheaten but will this be applicable to Volumio OS as this script is for Raspian OS.

yes it doesn’t matter.
The script will only install: raspi-gpio python3-rpi.gpio python3-smbus i2c-tools
(It will only not work together with Peppy_meter)
The only thing you MUST NEVER DO: sudo apt-get upgrade. This will break volumio.

Dear @Wheaten,

Just wanted to be double sure that I am not doing anything wrong. I am going to use a fresh installation of Volumio and Peppy meter using the Argon Case. Please help me with the below ----

  1. In order to ensure that I am able to run Volumio latest version with Peppy meter on Argon Case, which all commands below I should run and avoid ?

1/ curlhttps://download.argon40.com/argon1.sh
2/ sudo apt update
3/ sudo apt install raspi.gpio
4/ sudo wget download.argon40.com/argon1.sh
5/ sudo chmod 755 ./argon1.sh
6/ sudo ./argon1.sh

  1. Finally the above commands should be run after Volumio & PeppyMeter is installed or before that ?

Kindly help…

Regards,
Rajiv

Not sure where you get these command from, but for sure interesting.
But I would suggest:

sudo apt-get update
curl https://download.argon40.com/argon1.sh | bash

Then install peppymeter.
