No BCLM entry on MBP 13 2020, Big Sur 11.2.2? #6

Closed cjmaria closed 3 years ago

Hello,

Thank you for your work on this tool, it is exactly what I am looking for. However, I tried to run your script with sudo python3 main.py -s 65 but errors are produced.

ERROR: SMC out parse failed
valid "  BCLM  [ui8 ]  60 (bytes 3c)"
current "  BCLM  [    ]  no data"

I am using a 13-inch MBP, 2020 with M1 chip and Big Sur 11.2.2 and python 3.8.6. The repo is cloned to ~/osx_battery_charge_limit and the commands were ran from that directory.

sudo ./smc-command_from_fan_control/smc -l | grep "BCLM" returns no output was well, my complete output of smc -l is here: https://pastebin.com/ehGgH95J Am I using the script wrong? Has the BCLM key been removed?
