I've added custom temperature control to the avalon code in the cgminer git master.

It now acts like a simple PID controller trying to maintain a target temperature, which by default is set to 45 degrees, so it will try to keep the temp 43~45, but never going below a minimum fanspeed of 20% as a safety precaution and to maintain airflow.

You can modify this value with the new command:

--avalon-temp

Setting this to something very low will have the same effect as turning the fans up to maximum and vice versa.

If you are not running it from a command line, it can be added to the "More options" box in the web interface (once you have the binary on your machine).

Con,

--avalon-temp is a great feature. Can you be so kind and implement --avalon-cutoff-temp - Gpu style to put avalon in IDLE. I personally run my unit at home with air condition. Outside temp is 40+ Celsius. And i am away most of the time. So if the air conditioner malfunctions you know what will happen  Smiley. My home get even fired because of it.

It will be very useful feature for most of us

Thank you very much in advance!

Best
