💖 MODULETXFAN.CONF(5) 💖

okay so bestie, we're reading MODULETXFAN.CONF(5) today — that's the manual page for this file, filed under File Formats in the MODULETXFAN.CONF(5) docs. grab a strawberry drink, we're doing config files 🌸

✨ NAME ✨

ModuleTxFan.conf — the configuration file for the SvxLink server Transmitter Fan module 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

svxlink is a general purpose voice service system for ham radio use. fr fr, it does a lot.

This man-page describes the SvxLink server configuration for the TxFan module.

The TxFan module is used to control auxiliary fans that are triggered by a PTT GPIO event. that's it, that's the whole job, and it's iconic 👑

🌈 CONFIGURATION VARIABLES 🌈

There are a couple of configuration variables that are common to all modules. The documentation for these can be found in the svxlink.conf(5) manual page. go read that one too, no skipping 💅

Here is the description of all module specific configuration variables that the SvxLink TxFan module understands. buckle up:

🧚 ModuleTxFan 🧚

• MODE — the MODE variable has 2 acceptable values: "COUNT_DOWN" and "FOLLOW_PTT".
  • "COUNT_DOWN" starts at the value set in the DELAY variable, and counts down by 1 every second until zero is reached. At the start of the count down, the FAN_GPIO pin will be set to logic high. When the timer reaches zero, the FAN_GPIO will be set to logic low. ⏳
  • "FOLLOW_PTT" mode will activate the FAN_GPIO pin when PTT is activated (accurate to 1 second) and will deactivate the FAN_GPIO pin when PTT is deactivated (accurate to 1 second). 🫶
• DELAY — number of seconds to count down after last PTT gpio is deactivated. the fan is not beating the "abandonment" allegations, it's just waiting.
• PATH_PTT_# — the absolute path to the value file that controls the PTT pin for a given channel. By default the module supports 2 PTT signals, but can easily be expanded to support additional channels. Be certain to include these pins in the svxlink_gpio.conf file. ⚠️
• FAN_GPIO — the absolute path to the value file that controls the FAN gpio pin. Be certain to include these pins in the svxlink_gpio.conf file. also ⚠️

not me reminding you twice to put those pins in svxlink_gpio.conf — the manpage said it, so I'm saying it. it's giving "do it or nothing works" 💀

📁 FILES 📁

• /etc/svxlink/svxlink.conf (or deprecated /etc/svxlink.conf) — the system wide configuration file. 🗂️
• ~/.svxlink/svxlink.conf — per user configuration file. 🏠
• /etc/svxlink/svxlink.d/ModuleTxFan.conf — global modularized configuration file. Depends on the CFG_DIR configuration variable setting. 🔧
• ~/.svxlink/svxlink.d/ModuleTxFan.conf — per user modularized configuration file. Depends on the CFG_DIR configuration variable setting. 🔧

and that's the whole thing, bestie!! 🎀 this page lives on Linux and it's dated FEB 2018, under the name MODULETXFAN.CONF(5). slay, you now know everything about the fan module. go make those fans spin, periodt 💅✨🌸
