Summary

The Argon ONE is an aluminum case for the Raspberry Pi 4 featuring a safe power button and an active fan. Both features require installing a driver on the Raspberry Pi.

Technical overview

  • Aluminum case designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi 4.
  • Integrated power button supporting start, shutdown, restart, and forced shutdown.
  • Active fan with temperature-based speed control (default: 55 °C → 10 %, 60 °C → 55 %, 65 °C → 100 %).
  • Mount the case before inserting the SD card.
  • The driver is installed via a curl command; afterward, desktop shortcuts named “configure” and “uninstall” become available.
  • The commands argonone-config and argonone-uninstall allow configuring or uninstalling the driver.
  • The case occupies GPIO pins 2, 3, 4, 14, 22, and 23 (BCM codes), limiting their availability for custom projects.

Commands and examples – verify before use:  

curl https://download.argon40.com/argon1.sh | bash
argonone-config #configure driver
argonone-uninstall #uninstall driver

Notes and version constraints

  • Exact compatibility with other Raspberry Pi models (e.g., Pi 3 or Pi 5) is not stated in the source.
  • The described default fan values may vary depending on firmware or driver version; manual verification within the system is recommended.
  • GPIO pin occupation may change with future hardware revisions.
  • Power button and fan functionality depend entirely on the installed driver – without it, they remain inactive.
