# Mac-like-automatic-brightness
|
|
A simple script to provide a "Mac" like automatic brightness adjustemnt/ animation.
|
|
## Now as a system service
|
|
Run ```setup.sh``` to make it a service and automaticaly set your ```SensorToDisplacScale```
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
For running in as your user you need to be part of the ```vidoe``` group
|
|
```sudo usermod -a -G vido $USER``` if your not apart of the group
|
|
|
|
If your installing as a system service your user dose not need to be apart of the group
|
|
|
|
## 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
|
|
Dell Insp 7359 | 0 - 15000 | 20
|
|
|
|
## 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 ```
|
|
|
|
```/dev/shm/AB.offset | Stores current offset for the sensor```
|
|
|
|
* Changing the offset of your backlight while the service is running is one way you increase or decease your screen bightness but keep the automatic adjustments when the lighting changes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 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 (0.16 of 60Hz)
|
|
|
|
```MinimunBrightness``` The minimum screen brightness, recomended minumim 001 so the backlight dosn't turn off
|
|
|
|
### Run``` setup.sh -u``` to update the installed script and service
|
|
|
|
~~ Other things to note but shouldn't have to adjust
|
|
|
|
```Light``` The file where your lightsensor has its current value
|
|
|
|
```CurrentBirghtness``` The file where your screen stores its current brightness
|
|
|
|
```MaxScreenBrightness``` The highest value your screen supports, check ```/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/max_brightness``` on framework laptops
