        There are a million ways to cool down your Raspberry Pi: Small heat sinks, specific
        cases, and some [extreme DIY solutions](https://youtu.be/WfQMLInuwws).  stressberry is a
        package for testing the core temperature under different loads, and it produces nice
        plots which can easily be compared.
        
        To run stressberry on your computer, simply install it with
        ```
        [sudo] apt install stress
        pip3 install stressberry --user
        ```
        and run it with
        ```
        stressberry-run out.dat
        stressberry-plot out.dat -o out.png
        ```
        (Use `MPLBACKEND=Agg stressberry-plot out.dat -o out.png` if you're running the script
        on the Raspberry Pi itself.)
        
        The run lets the CPU idle for a bit, then stresses it with maximum load for 5 minutes,
        and lets it cool down afterwards. The entire process takes 10 minutes.  The resulting
        data is displayed to a screen or, if specified, written to a PNG file.
        
        If you'd like to submit your own data for display here, feel free to [open an
        issue](https://github.com/nschloe/stressberry/issues) and include the data file, a
        photograph of your setup, and perhaps some further information.
        
        ### The setups
        
        #### A naked Raspberry Pi 3
        
        <img src="https://nschloe.github.io/stressberry/naked-photo.jpg" width="30%">
        
        The Raspberry Pi 3 without fans, heat sinks, or particular cases. The idle core
        temperature is about 47°C, under heavy load it reaches 80°C (at which point the CPU
        frequency is throttled).
        
        #### A simple acrylic case
        
        <img src="https://nschloe.github.io/stressberry/acryl-photo.jpg" width="30%">
        
        Your average acrylic case from eBay. Temperature measurements are bit warmer than with
        the naked Raspberry Pi, presumable because the case hinders the free air flow.
        
        #### A black full-body aluminum alloy case
        
        <img src="https://nschloe.github.io/stressberry/fasttech-photo.jpg" width="30%">
        
        I got [this case](https://www.fasttech.com/p/5299000) from FastTech for about $17. It's
        basically a full-body aluminum alloy case with heat pads for the CPU and the RAM chip.
        The heat is dissipated _very_ well and in fact beats every other solution I've seen so
        far, including [the extreme DIY passive cooling setup](https://youtu.be/WfQMLInuwws).
        
        #### A Pasberry Pi 3B+ with a FLIRC case
        
        <img src="https://nschloe.github.io/stressberry/flirc-photo.jpg" width="30%">
        
        The famous [FLIRC case](https://flirc.tv/more/raspberry-pi-case).  Thanks to @RichardKav
        for the measurements.
        
        ### Testing
        
        To run the tests, just check out this repository and type
        ```
        pytest
        ```
