17Description
18-----------
19
20This driver exposes hardware sensors of listed Aquacomputer devices, which
21communicate through proprietary USB HID protocols.
22
23For the D5 Next pump, available sensors are pump and fan speed, power, voltage
24and current, as well as coolant temperature and eight virtual temp sensors. Also
25available through debugfs are the serial number, firmware version and power-on
26count. Attaching a fan to it is optional and allows it to be controlled using
27temperature curves directly from the pump. If it's not connected, the fan-related
28sensors will report zeroes.
29
30The pump can be configured either through software or via its physical
31interface. Configuring the pump through this driver is not implemented, as it
32seems to require sending it a complete configuration. That includes addressable
33RGB LEDs, for which there is no standard sysfs interface. Thus, that task is
34better suited for userspace tools.
35
36The Octo exposes four physical and sixteen virtual temperature sensors, as well as
37eight PWM controllable fans, along with their speed (in RPM), power, voltage and
38current.
39
40The Quadro exposes four physical and sixteen virtual temperature sensors, a flow
41sensor and four PWM controllable fans, along with their speed (in RPM), power,
42voltage and current.
43
44The Farbwerk and Farbwerk 360 expose four temperature sensors. Additionally,
45sixteen virtual temperature sensors of the Farbwerk 360 are exposed.
46
47The High Flow Next exposes +5V voltages, water quality, conductivity and flow readings.
48A temperature sensor can be connected to it, in which case it provides its reading
49and an estimation of the dissipated/absorbed power in the liquid cooling loop.
50
51Depending on the device, not all sysfs and debugfs entries will be available.
52Writing to virtual temperature sensors is not currently supported.

54Usage notes
55-----------
56
57The devices communicate via HID reports. The driver is loaded automatically by
58the kernel and supports hotswapping.
