Use hidapi-hidraw instead of reading /dev/usb/hiddev* #63

Closed kmicki closed 1 year ago

kmicki commented 1 year ago

Target: Read gyro data using hidapi-hidraw library instead of /dev/usb/hiddev*

Advantages:

simplified installation: no root access required on Steam Deck to install SteamDeckGyroDSU, because hidraw devices are already exposed to deck user (as opposed to /dev/usb/hiddev)
saves CPU resources - data from /dev/usb/hiddev* need one more layer of processing to get a resulting frame.

Checklist:

[x] switch from hiddev file to hidapi
[x] adjust installation/update script
[x] test build for Stable OS
[x] test on Stable OS
[x] test on Preview OS
[x] update instructions/wiki
