==Package Includes==
* 1 * Mini Tower Kit For NAS
[[File:Zp0130list.jpg|left|800px]]
 

==How to enable OLED Display==
* We assume you are using Raspberry Pi OS,(32bit/64bit).
1. Turn on `i2c function` by using `sudo raspi-config` -> `interface options` -> `i2c` -> `enable` -> `yes`. 
2. Check if the screen has been recognized by Raspberry Pi. 
<pre>
i2cdetect -y 1
</pre>
if encount `command not found` error, please install `i2c-tools` by using `sudo apt update && sudo apt -y install i2c-tools`. 
3. Install dependencies libraries:
<pre>
sudo apt -y install python3 python3-pip python3-pil libjpeg-dev zlib1g-dev libfreetype6-dev liblcms2-dev libopenjp2-7 libtiff5
</pre>
4. Grant privilleges to user `pi`
<pre>
sudo usermod -a -G gpio,i2c pi
</pre>
5. Download sample code from this repo:
<pre>
git clone https://github.com/rm-hull/luma.examples.git
cd luma.examples/
</pre>
6. Install the dependencies
Do remember add the "." in command line, it means current directory, you will encount error if lost it.
<pre>
sudo -H pip3 install -e .
</pre>
7. Entering into example folder and test it.
<pre>
cd examples/
python3 clock.py
</pre>
8. At this time, the OLED screen is displaying clock. 

If there is black screen or have nothing display on the screen, please check whether the cable is connected properly, and then check if you have enable the I2C function, and you can just typing : i2cdetect -y 1 in a terminal and check if there is an address like "3C" on screen. if not, please reconnect the cable and reboot raspberry pi. If you can not download the repository from github, please check the internet connection and please make sure you can access to github.com. If you have issue with using the OLED display, please contact us first.

==How to adjust fan speed ==
* Demo code is based on python language, you can try another language such as language C, C++ and so on.
* Create a new file called it pwm_fan.py and paste folloing code:
<pre>

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
import subprocess as sp

# initializing GPIO, setting mode to BOARD.
# Default pin of fan is physical pin 8, GPIO14
Fan = 8
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)
GPIO.setup(Fan, GPIO.OUT)

p = GPIO.PWM(Fan, 50)
p.start(0)

try:
while True:
temp = sp.getoutput("vcgencmd measure_temp|egrep -o '[0-9]*\.[0-9]*'")
print(temp)
if float(temp) < 48.0:
p.ChangeDutyCycle(0)
elif float(temp) > 48.0 and float(temp) < 60.0:
p.ChangeDutyCycle(100)
time.sleep(0.1)
elif float(temp) > 60.0:
p.ChangeDutyCycle(100)
time.sleep(0.1)

except KeyboardInterrupt:
pass
p.stop()
GPIO.cleanup()
</pre>
* Save and execute it.
<pre>
python3 pwm_fan.py &
</pre>
==How to enable fan light and mood light==
<pre>NOTE： The RGB lights in the fan are connected to the ambient lights on the screen driver board. Turn on any one of the lights is equivalent to turn on the entire light group.</pre>
* 1. The lights are connected to GPIO18 which can found by typing: pinout in a terminal.
[[File:GPIO18.png|left|800px]]
 
* 2. Make sure your Raspberry Pi can access internet.
* 3. Download demo code projects sources from github.
<pre>
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/jgarff/rpi_ws281x
</pre>
* 4. Build:
===Build with SCons===
* Install Scons (on raspbian)
<pre> sudo apt update && sudo apt -y install scons </pre>
* Make sure to adjust the parameters in main.cto suit your hardware.
* Signal rate (400kHz to 800kHz). Default 800kHz.
* ledstring.invert=1 if using a inverting level shifter.
* Width and height of LED matrix (height=1 for LED string).
* Type scons from inside the source directory.
<pre>
cd rpi_ws281x/
sudo scons
</pre>
===Build and install with CMake===
* Install CMake
* Configure your build:
For example:
<pre>
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -D BUILD_SHARED=OFF -D BUILD_TEST=ON ..
</pre>
See also for available options in CMakeLists.txt. 
Type <pre>cmake --build .</pre> to build

* To install built binaries and headers into your system:
<pre>
sudo make install
</pre>
* Running:
Type <pre>sudo ./test </pre>(default uses PWM channel 0).

That's it. You should see a moving rainbow scroll across the display.
More options are available, <pre>./test -h </pre>should show them:
<pre>
./test version 1.1.0
Usage: ./test
-h (--help) - this information
-s (--strip) - strip type - rgb, grb, gbr, rgbw
-x (--width) - matrix width (default 8)
-y (--height) - matrix height (default 8)
-d (--dma) - dma channel to use (default 10)
-g (--gpio) - GPIO to use
If omitted, default is 18 (PWM0)
-i (--invert) - invert pin output (pulse LOW)
-c (--clear) - clear matrix on exit.
-v (--version) - version information
</pre>
* Reference URL: [ https://github.com/DeskPi-Team/rpi_ws281x ]

==How to Install All Drivers Automatically==
* Clone this Repository: [ https://github.com/geeekpi/absminitowerkit ]
<pre>cd
git clone https://github.com/geeekpi/absminitowerkit.git
cd absminitowerkit/
sudo ./install.sh
</pre>
===How to change display information===
<pre> If you want to change the display information, please follow the steps below.</pre>
* Open a terminal and navigate to /lib/systemd/system/ folder.
* Edit 'minitower_oled.service' file and adding your script.
[[File:Changesystemdservice2.png|left|800px]]
 
And the demo codes are located at: /usr/local/luma.examples/examples/, or you can put your own code in the same location and change the parameter of ExecStart variable and restart the service.
[[File:Changesystemdservice3.png|left|800px]]
 
For example, Default ExecStart's parameters is called /usr/local/luma.examples/examples/animated_gif.py file, we can just comment it out with # (hash tag) and remove the hast tag before ExecStart=/bin/bash -c 'python3 /usr/local/luma.examples/examples/sysinfo.py &' and save it and quit.
[[File:Changesystemdservice4.png|left|800px]]
 
you can also replace the file name with the file names in folder: /usr/local/luma.examples/examples/
* Reload systemd service and minitower_oled.service
<pre>
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart minitower_oled.service
</pre>
* You will find the content of OLED display has been changed.
[[File:Minitower infor.jpg|left|800px]]
 
* More demo code please access your local folder in: /usr/local/luma.examples/examples/ folder, there are plenty funny code inside the folder.
[[File:Changesystemdservice5.png|left|800px]]
 

==How to parted disk and mount it==
* Detect the disk which recognized by Raspberry Pi.
<pre>
sudo lsblk
</pre>
if you can see there is a device called:"/dev/sda", which is recognized by Raspberry Pi as first hard disk device.
* Create new partition by using: fdisk command.
<pre> sudo fdisk /dev/sda </pre>
and create a new partion by using following command:
press "n" and press "enter", and then input "p" and then press "enter",
input "1" and then press "enter", and press "enter" again, means make the whole disk as an partition.
finally, press "w" to write the partition table to your disk.
* Update kernel info for your device.
<pre> sudo partprobe /dev/sda </pre>
* Format disk to ext4 file system.
<pre> sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sda1 </pre>
<pre>NOTE: /dev/sda1 means the first partition of the device /dev/sda </pre>
* Create mounting point.
<pre> mkdir /home/pi/mydata </pre>
* Grant access permission to the location.
<pre>
chmod +rwx /home/pi/mydata
chown -R pi:pi /home/pi/mydata
</pre>
* Mount the device to mounting point:
<pre>sudo mount -t ext4 -o rw -v /dev/sda1 /home/pi/mydata </pre>
* Check if the device is mounting properly.
<pre>df -Th </pre>
===How to enable automount the device when reboot the Raspberry Pi===
<pre> NOTE: wrong configure in /etc/fstab will crash your OS, please beware of the operations.</pre>
* If you want to mounting the device automatically, please modify "/etc/fstab" and adding following line.
<pre> /dev/sda1 /home/pi/mydata ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0 </pre>
* Check if the file is correctly.
<pre>
sudo mount -a
df -Th
