Yocto Light sensors as ALS? #43

Closed aecepoglu closed 3 years ago

aecepoglu commented 4 years ago

Below is the output of udevadm monitor

I know they use the standard HID interface but I'm wondering how I can go about getting clight to read values from them.

Thank you

Hi! Latest clightd does indeed support Yoctolight (v3) sensor, and it must be enabled at compile time through ENABLE_YOCTOLIGHT cmake flag, eg: cmake -DENABLE_YOCTOLIGHT=true ../

Note that it is not yet advertised nor listed between sensors wiki page as i still have to fix some small issues here and there; it is not fully stable and may cause deadloops.

Ok, yoctolight sensor should now be fully supported. Let me know please if you are able to test it!

I ended up writing some shell utility in the mean time to read sensor data and update screen brightness and other settings. And it has less than 20% of clight's features but because it's mine I'm having difficulty parting with it :)

I'll test it in a few days and let you know though

:D that's great to hear anyway! Can't blame you :)

Thank you!
