Plugin for FanControl providing access to Acer PO3-630 sensors using Acer PredatorSense Named Pipe methods.
After becoming incresingly frustrated with Acer seemingly not allowing 3rd party access to the fan controls, I used dotPeek to open up PredatorSense.exe and reverse engineered the speed controls from there. The plugin currently relies on the Predator Service installed alongside the Predator Sense app, I hope to remove this dependancy sometime down the road.
- Install the Acer Predator Sense application. This plugin was tested using PredatorSense 3.0.3044.0. This step is required to to install the PredatorSense Service on which this plugin relies.
- Download the latest binaries from Releases
- Copy the FanControl.AcerPO3630.dll into FanControl's "Plugins" folder.
I tested the plugin with my Acer PO3-630 PC. Looking through the code in PredatorSense.exe it may work on other machines (PO5 & PO9) but these are untested.
This plugin was tested using PredatorSense 3.0.3044.0. At the time of writing, PredatorSense 4 was released but was incompatible with my machine/os, therefore I have no idea if it works with this plugin.
