It prints battery level, charging state, volume changes, mute state, and power events, one event per line.\n\n## Why\n\nHyperX's own [NGENUITY](https://hyperx.com/pages/ngenuity) software doesn't run on Linux. This tool covers that gap. Its line-based output drops straight into a custom status bar; see the [headset-battery script](https://github.com/AkamQadiri/dotfiles/blob/master/dotfiles/.config/i3blocks/scripts/headset-battery) and [i3blocks config](https://github.com/AkamQadiri/dotfiles/blob/master/dotfiles/.config/i3blocks/config) in my dotfiles for an example.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nInstall the HIDAPI development package:\n\n- Debian/Ubuntu: `sudo apt install libhidapi-dev`\n- Arch: `sudo pacman -S hidapi`\n\n## Build and install\n\n```bash\nmake\nsudo make install\n```\n\nThis builds `cloud_flight` into `bin/`, installs it to `/usr/local/bin`, and adds a udev rule so the headset is readable without root. `PREFIX` and `DESTDIR` are honored for packaging. To remove the executable and the rule:\n\n```bash\nsudo make uninstall\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n```bash\ncloud_flight -r\n```\n\nOptions:\n\n- `-r`: print the current battery status once and exit. Exits non-zero if the headset is off or no battery report arrives within a second, so scripts can tell a missing reading from a real one.\n- `-h`: show usage.\n\nRun without options to keep monitoring until the headset powers off. The tool exits non-zero if the connection to the headset is lost.\n\n## Acknowledgment\n\nThe packet format was taken from [kondinskis/hyperx-cloud-flight](https://github.com/kondinskis/hyperx-cloud-flight); I did not reverse engineer it myself.\n\n## License\n\nLicensed under the MIT License; see [LICENSE](LICENSE).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fakamqadiri%2Fhyperx-cloud-flight","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fakamqadiri%2Fhyperx-cloud-flight","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fakamqadiri%2Fhyperx-cloud-flight/lists"}
