Expanded Readme

[m-d-young]

I followed the readme and I believe that I missed some steps. From the readme it seems that I should clone the repository. I installed GIT LFS; should I install something in addition to that to clone the repository? An expanded readme would help me where my experience is lacking. I've been trying to track down some BSOD errors under windows and one of the possible culprits is the i/o boards.

This may have been completed by now?

At this time the readme contains the following, which seems to include instructions on installing dependencies and executing the build.

EDIT: I don't see where this was added since your issue was submitted, did you just miss the steps below?

From what I can see the only thing this driver does is monitor thermal sensors and apply a fan speed curve.

Hey @desla-slade just wanted to note. I was able to follow that readme and build a .msi successfully. The gotcha not addressed by this README is having the C/C++ compiler for rust, but rustup itself (referenced in the README) tells you about that during installation.

Was that what was missing for you?
