Turn the fan on 10 scs long python

This is my code turning the fan on i run the sleep on separate thread because it makes the entire script sleep

def fan_on():

    GPIO.setwarnings(False)

    GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)

    FAN_PIN = 23

    GPIO.setup(FAN_PIN,GPIO.OUT)

    GPIO.output(FAN_PIN,True)

    t = Thread(target=sleep_fan)

    t.deamon = True

    t.start()



def sleep_fan():

    time.sleep(10)

The script is running however im not getting 10 scs it is only 1 or 2 seconds? How to fix this? TIA

I'm going to assume that your program dies before the 10 seconds are up, which is what kills the fan. The misspelling of daemon in t.deamon = True doesn't matter here.

Probably better to join on that thread in your main function.

def fan_on():

    GPIO.setwarnings(False)

    GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)

    FAN_PIN = 23

    GPIO.setup(FAN_PIN,GPIO.OUT)

    GPIO.output(FAN_PIN,True)

    t = Thread(target=sleep_fan)

    t.deamon = True

    t.start()

    return t



fan_thread = fan_on()

fan_thread.join()  # waits for thread to exit before moving on.

@Beginner yes it does, but since your current problem is that the program dies before 10 seconds is up, that shouldn't be an issue, just make sure that your last instruction is to join on your fan thread.

Strongly disagree. setDaemon is a silly name for a silly method, and even the documentation includes this line: "Old getter/setter API for daemon; use it directly as a property instead."
