# this fork has this changes:
The darker mode, when the illuminance is less than 1 i.e. 0, it will go to the target brightness that is 1. Can be easily changed.

If the file AB.offset have 0 as value. Darker mode is activated and setting brightness will reset to target value 1 when illuminance is less than 1.
if the file has value of 1, it will be the normal mode and the screen brightness can be adjusted until the illuminance sensor changes.

easier to change variables and places and chmod 666 /tmp/AB.offset for the user to change modes when script is running as root (systemd service)
darker mode as default with normal mode done by typing "echo 1 > /tmp/AB.offset"

they are in autobrightness.sh

# Mac-like-automatic-brightness
A simple script to provide a "Mac" like automatic brightness adjustemnt/ animation

made for the FrameWork laptop

based on 2017 MacBook Pro

read ```Configuration``` for detailed informatoion about what options you have to easily  customize/ adjust the bightness or animation speed

## Requires 
brightnessctl

## Non 12th Gen Intel Framework Owners
Your sensor has a diffrent range thant the 12th Gen Intel Framework laptop sensors, please see chart bellow


           Type     |  Sensor Rnge | STDScale
     11th Gen Intel | 0 - 3207633  | 1
     12th Gen Intel | 0 - 3984     | 24

## Controls
```./AutomaticBrightness.sh | Defualt running mode of script```

```./AutomaticBrightness.sh -i [NUMBER] | Increase the offset your brightness sensors raw reading ```

```./AutomaticBrightness.sh -d [NUMBER] | Decrease the offset your brightness sensors raw reading ```

```/tmp/AB.offset | Stores current offset for the sensor```

```/tmp/AB.stop  | Stops AutomaticBrightness.sh```

```/tmp/AB.start | Starts stopped AutomaticBrightness.sh``` 

```/tmp/AB.kill  | Kills AutomaticBrightness.sh```

when running you will see a ```AB.running``` file and ```AB.offset``` in ```/tmp```


## Configuring
```Light Change``` The percent of light change needed to be seen by the sensor for it to change the screen brightness

```SensorDelay``` Time in seconds the script will wait to check the sensor for a luminess change after the animation (LevelSteps * AnimationDelay)

```SensorToDisplayScale``` The ratio from sensor to screen brighness, recommended minimum 24  for 12th gen framework laptops. Increasing the value will give a brighter screen for the amount of light in the room/ enviroment

```LevelSteps```  Sets amount of brightness steps, recomended to match refeshrate

```AnimationDelay```  Speed of the brightness animation(delay between each step), recomended screen refreshrate in seconds

```MaxScreenBrightness``` The highest value your screen supports, check ```/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/max_brightness``` on framework laptops

```MinimunBrightness``` The minimum screen brightness, recomended minumim 001 so the backlight dosn't turn off

~~ Other things to note

```Light```  The file where your lightsensor has its current value

```CurrentBirghtness```  The file where your screen stores its current brightness
