## Update 02/10/2021
There also exists a somewhat-functioning GUI for this utility, which relies on this utility being installed. You may find it [here](https://github.com/devksingh4/thinkpad-tools-gui). Beware questionable design choices, I am *definitely* not a frontend person!
## Update 07/30/2020
My primary machine is now not a ThinkPad anymore, but rather a desktop computer. I still have my ThinkPad and use it frequently, but not much development is occuring on it. As a result, this tool may not recieve many updates other than to fix bugs brought up by others, or ones I notice during my use.
Feel free to open PRs with new features or bugfixes!

# Thinkpad Tools
Tools created to manage thinkpad properties
## Currently Supported Properties
* Adjusting Trackpoint Speed and Sensitivity
* Managing battery/batteries
* Setting Charge Stop and Start thresholds
* Checking battery health
* Undervolting CPU (Can write values but cannot read them)
## Planned Features
None right now, but feel free to suggest one in issues!
While most of these tools exist seperately, it would be nice to have a first-class linux tool that allows all of the above to be managed all in one place. This is why I started development on thinkpad-tools.
## Installing Utility
### Debian/Ubuntu
`.deb` files are available for Debian/Ubuntu on the releases page.
### Fedora/CentOS
A COPR repository has been created for Fedora/CentOS at `https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/dsingh/thinkpad-tools/`.
### Other distros
Run `python3 setup.py install` after cloning the repository (`git clone https://github.com/devksingh4/thinkpad-tools`).
## Supported Devices
While this tool should work for any Core-i (xx10 series and onwards) ThinkPad, the following devices have been tested to work with this tool:
* T480
* X1 Carbon Gen 7
* T470
* X260
Undervolting is only supported on Skylake or newer Intel CPUs.
If you have tested this tool to work on more machines, please open a pull request and add it to this list!
