FiPy getting hot
-
Hello,
My Fipys have been getting hot, I am sending about 7 messages per second (accelerometer data) over a TCP socket, so I assume that this is a heavy workload that is causing the heat.
I am just double checking if there is anything I can do to help reduce the heat.
Current solution is 3D printing a case to go around it with air holes in it so people don't actually touch any hot surface but I would really like to display the Pycom to show it off.
Cheers,
Dylan

Hi @Dylan ,
Is this using the LTE modem?
Make sure you're running the latest firmware as in the past the modem was running all the time which would add to the heat.

Only using wifi and the accelerometer.

Thanks, I take it you have updated the firmware? Just checking if the LTE modem is correctly being disabled.If you use the WiFi a lot I guess it's possible to warm things up.

@jmarcelino Yeah, all up to date to the latest firmware. We are working them pretty hard, I guess they are reaching somewhere into the 45+ degrees C
