If you know the address of the chip, use a 'force' parameter; this will put it into a more well-behaved state first. -The driver implements three temperature sensors, five fan rotation speed -sensors, and ten voltage sensors. +The driver implements three temperature sensors, ten voltage sensors, +five fan rotation speed sensors and manual PWM control of each fan. Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius and measurement resolution is 1 degC for temp1 and 0.5 degC for temp2 and temp3. An alarm is triggered when the temperature gets higher than the Overtemperature Shutdown value; it stays on until the temperature falls below the Hysteresis value. +Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in millivolts. +An alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum +or maximum limit. + Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. Fan readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 or 128 for all fans) to give the readings more range or accuracy. -Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in millivolts. -An alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum -or maximum limit. +Each fan controlled is controlled by PWM. The PWM duty cycle can be read and +set for each fan separately. Valid values range from 0 (stop) to 255 (full). The w83791d has a global bit used to enable beeping from the speaker when an alarm is triggered as well as a bitmask to enable or disable the beep for specific alarms. You need both the global beep enable bit and the corresponding beep bit to be on for a triggered alarm to sound a beep. -The sysfs interface to the gloabal enable is via the sysfs beep_enable file. +The sysfs interface to the global enable is via the sysfs beep_enable file.
