It will use the first 4 devices (if specified and available) as additional HW Monitor sources within the application. If the 'Argus Controller hardware support' option in Settings/Stability is enabled, Argus Monitor will probe the specified COM-Ports for Argus Controller devices. Only for the ProbeDevice command, Argus Monitor expects the answer from the device within 200msec. It measures and shows the temperatures of important hardware such as CPU and hard drives. The second bytes is always the count of remaining bytes in this message, beginning with the next (third) byte. Argus Monitor 6.: Argus Monitor is a software tool that helps you to check computer specific temperatures. ??

Argus monitor software serial#
You can adapt the hardware to your needs, built it around a completely different microcontroller, change the number of temperature and fan control channels and so on.Įach hardware device can have up to 6 temperature channels and 6 fan control channels.Īrgus Monitor will detect and use any such device as long as the serial communication protocol (see below) is respected.
With additional circuitry and software changes, you could control 3-pin voltage controlled fans also or use different temperature sensors. We show here a hardware solution for the popular Dallas DS18B20 temperature sensors and for connecting 4-pin pwm controlled fans.
The example demonstrates the creation and set-up of temperature channels and fan control channels. We have made an example to demonstrate such a device with the help of the very common Arduino Nano or Arduino Uno platform.
We call these devices Argus Controller.Argus Monitor supports Open Hardware circuits to use additional custom temperature sensors and fan control channels within the program.
