Perhaps: watch /opt/scripts/device/x15/test_thermal.sh
? The output of 'test_thermal.sh' would really be helpful for those complaining about the heat. The update should stop it from overheating, at least in a room temperature environment. That doesn't mean it won't be hot to the touch... just not so hot that it will need to shutdown. Can I get some more feedback on this? Sorry for the VERY LONG delay on the Fan Cape. Chinese New Year recently entered the reasons for delay, but it is coming. The other big missing thing for BBAI is the Python Tensorflow library, which is also coming. I'll be talking a lot more about BBAI once the two of those are out there. Anyway, just running the update should give you a nice solution for running "regular" code. Please explain to me if that really isn't the case.
