The fan can be controlled in software, so you can do crafty things like toggle it on when the CPU
reaches a certain temperature. Use the LED as a handy visual indicator to show fan status, CPU
load/temperature, whatever! The tactile switch can also be programmed, so you can use it to
toggle the fan on or off, or to switch between temperature-triggered or manual mode.
You can read some detailed benchmarking of Fan SHIM's cooling performance here on the
Pimoroni blog.
Oh, and it's compatible with our new Pibow Coupé 4 case for Raspberry Pi 4!
