# CMStorm LED Backlight

This app simply turns on the backlight of a CMStorm Devastator keyboard. Forked from [Apple's demo code](https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/samplecode/HID_LED_test_tool/Introduction/Intro.html).

### Instructions:

- [Download](https://github.com/gholker/led-backlight-cmstorm/blob/master/led-backlight-cmstorm?raw=true)

- open terminal and run 'chmod +x ~/Downloads/led-backlight-cmstorm'

- double-click the app

### Install script:

Open terminal and paste the following:

`curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gholker/led-backlight-cmstorm/master/install.sh | sh`

### Configuration

Current version will now prompt on first run whether the lights are good. When you say `y` the configuration is saved. If you want to try different values then delete the config and run it again. 

Example:

```

found 3 devices

{...}/led-backlight-cmstorm.cfg not found. Cycling through possible values.

pass = 0.

is this value good? (y/n)

n

pass = 1.

is this value good? (y/n)

n

pass = 2.

is this value good? (y/n)

n

pass = 3.

is this value good? (y/n)

n

pass = 4.

is this value good? (y/n)

y

saving configuration

```
