### Description
|
|
Adds keybindings for screen rotation and auto rotation from an accelerometer.
|
|
|
|
### Setup
|
|
Find an accelerometer device in sysfs (`cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio*/name`,
|
|
or using a script: [monitor-iio.sh](https://github.com/Unprex/dotfiles/blob/main/scripts/monitor-iio.sh)) \
|
|
Find the raw output file of the accelerometer
|
|
(e.g. `cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/in_accel_x_raw` should output an integer). \
|
|
Add the raw output file names to the dwl configuration **accel_\***.
|
|
|
|
Add a udev rule to uniquely identify the device, for example:
|
|
```
|
|
sudo echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="iio", KERNEL=="iio*", ATTR{name}=="accel_3d", GROUP="input", SYMLINK+="input/accel"' >> /etc/udev/rules.d/99-accel.rules
|
|
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger
|
|
```
|
|
(the device is probably already in /dev/ e.g. `/dev/iio:device0` but on my computer the number changes after a reboot)
|
|
|
|
A symlink to the device should now be available in `/dev/input/` and accessible to input group members. \
|
|
Add the device path to the dwl configuration **accel_path**.
|
|
|
|
### Config
|
|
* `rotation_enabled`: If the auto rotation is enabled on startup.
|
|
* `rotation_delay`: How often to check the accelerometer values in milliseconds.
|
|
* `rotation_flat`: Threshold on the normalized Z axis to consider the device flat and stop the auto rotation.
|
|
* `rotation_thresh`: Rotation threshold after which the screen flips (values less than 0.5 will cause a back and forth).
|
|
|
|
+ `accel_path`: The path to the accelerometer device file (e.g. "/dev/input/accel").
|
|
+ `accel_x`: The name of the sysfs file for the accelerometer x axis.
|
|
+ `accel_y`: The name of the sysfs file for the accelerometer y axis.
|
|
+ `accel_z`: The name of the sysfs file for the accelerometer z axis.
|
|
|
|
Default keybindings:
|
|
* `<Modkey>` + `<Shift>` + `<Arrows>`: Change the screen rotation manually (doesn't disable the auto rotation).
|
|
* `<Modkey>` + `<Shift>` + `<R>`: Enable/disable the auto rotation.
