# Mac-like-automatic-brightness
A simple script to provide a "Mac" like automatic brightness adjustemnt/ animation
made for the FrameWork laptop
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 | 25
## Controls
```/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 in ```/tmp```
## Configuring
```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
```SensorDelay``` Time in seconds the script will wait to check the sensor for a luminess change after the animation (LevelSteps * AnimationDelay)
```MinimunBrightness``` The minimum screen brightness, recomended minumim 001 so the backlight dosn't turn off
```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
~~ Other things to note
```Light``` The file where your lightsensor has its current value
```CurrentBirghtness``` The file where your screen stores its current brightness
