Adds keybindings for screen rotation and auto rotation from an accelerometer.
Find an accelerometer device in sysfs (cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio*/name
,
or using a script: 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.
-
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.
