LPC SPI Firmware and Driver Prototype

MNT Reform
36

With the protected battery boards and my new trackball 2.0 arriving I finally found the time to flash the LPC firmware required for the battery status display.

I was able to confirm the problem that sometimes after kernel upgrades, the battery status would vanish. This is a problem with the packaging and I posted the fix here:

I configured wayland like this:

    "battery": {
        "bat": "8xlifepo4",
        "format": "BAT {capacity}% <span font='Font Awesome'>{icon}</span>",
        "format-icons": ["", "", "", "", ""],
        "format-charging": "BAT {capacity}% <span font='Font Awesome'>{icon}</span> ",
        "format-full": "BAT 100% ",
        "interval": 30,
        "states": {
            "warning": 10,
            "critical": 5
        },
        "tooltip": false,
        "on-click": "gnome-power-statistics"
    },

This will show a “flash” symbol when power is plugged in and also give a visual indication of the battery charge. If the battery is too low, it will first turn red and then start blinking using this CSS:

#battery.warning:not(.charging) {
    color: #FF0000;
}

#battery.critical:not(.charging) {
    animation: blink_effect 0.5s steps(2) infinite;
}

@keyframes blink_effect {
        50% { color: #FF0000; }
        100% { color: #0000FF; }
}
