Command-line Tool #176

Open MGlaab opened 2 months ago

MGlaab commented 2 months ago

Can I make a request for a YouTube video showing how you can use the command-line tool? I've used the web-based tool, and appreciate it, but I'd like to work up a python automation script that could flash multiple devices at once. (think of a classroom of individual student devices).

You need the Python hid module.

There are some OS-specific instructions here: https://pypi.org/project/hid/

I've tried it on Ubuntu and macOS, not sure about Windows.

Then to load a configuration you would do:

python3 set_config.py < hid-remapper-config.json

This works if there's exactly one HID Remapper connected. If you want to configure multiple devices at the same time you'd have to slightly modify the scripts.

Thanks, I'm going to try with one device on my mac, and see if I can modify it.

On Mac I've had success using MacPorts and installing the module with sudo port install py-hid. Just remember to use the Python instance from MacPorts afterwards. If you're using Homebrew it can probably be installed from there as well.
