pirate / mac-keyboard-brightness Goto Github PK

I found that the answer posted here works well https://stackoverflow.com/a/39589275

(Happy to submit a pull request if you like)

I set the keyboard brightness to 0
./kbrightness 0
Press the power button to sleep, wake the mac up and then I get 100% brightness for keyboard.
Is this a desirable behavior? How to set key brightness permanently?

Ok, I was running the audio.py file and got this...

$ python3 audio.py
[+] Starting...
Traceback (most recent call last):

    return pa.read_stream(self._stream, num_frames, exception_on_overflow)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Love this utility. Currently blinking along to Days of the New.

I had not previously installed many python libs so the README.md step was not enough to get audio.py to run.

Error:

$ pip3 install --upgrade pyaudio audioop
Collecting pyaudio
  Downloading PyAudio-0.2.11.tar.gz
Collecting audioop
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement audioop (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for audioop

Fix:

brew install python3
brew install portaudio
pip3 install pyaudio

Then like the README says:

python3 audio.py

Display controls work fine but keyboard read and write operations fail:

$ ./dbrightness

$ ./dbrightness .8
$ ./kbrightness
getLightSensors() error: failed to find ambient light sensor
getKeyboardBrightness() error
0.000000
$ ./kbrightness 1.0
getLightSensors() error: failed to find ambient light sensor
setKeyboardBrightness() error

I will update with more info when I have some time to debug this evening (and will pr if I find the issue).
