Aquaeronix aims at providing a C interface for accessing the Aquaero5(R) USB device by 'Aqua Computer' (http://www.aqua-computer.de).
It consists of a set of functions for data access and conversion, and a command-line tool using these functions as an example implementation.
Unlike its predecessor, aerotools, which targets the Aquaero(R) 4.00),
Aquaeronix currently uses the USB HIDDEV interface provided by the Linux kernel
via the /dev/usb/hiddev? device nodes, so no dependencies for this.
To build the main components of the project simply issue ./configure && make
in the project root. Compiled binaries will reside in the subdirectory the were
originated in. This software may be permanantly installed and uninstalled using
the commands make install and make uninstall respectively.
You may also use the precompiled RPMs located at my repositories. Additional addons may be found under the Aquaeronix github page.
To be able to query the Aquaero5(R) device you have to set appropriate access rights for the device node.
You can either do this manually by identifying the device node using lsusb
(looking for the Vendor- and Product-ID), or just install a udev rule like this
one:
ATTRS{idVendor}=="0c70", ATTRS{idProduct}=="f001", GROUP="aquaero", MODE="0640"
This will give all members of the aquaero group read access to the device.
As the Aquaero5(R) identifies itself as multiple devices (USB keyboard, mouse and the actual device we want to query) you have to examine which device node represents the data source.
In my case, there is /dev/usb/hiddev[0-2] which all match the udev rule
provided above. The correct one for me is /dev/usb/hiddev0, but I don't know
whether it is always the first one. Just try as stated under USAGE - if you
choose the wrong one there will simply be no output at all.
aerocli, as stated above, is the example implementation of a command-line tool
that uses the provided query - and format conversion functions provided by
Aquaeronix.
-
To query the first device found (via autodiscovery), simply issue
aerocli. -
To query a specific device (if you have more than one attached to your system) simply issue
aerocli -d /dev/usb/hiddevX(see SETUP for the meaning of X). -
To get a more script-friendly output in the form of
KEY=VALUEpairs just add-o export. For more comprehensive output in both default and export modes, use-a, e.g.-a -o defaultor-a -o export. -
To set software sensor values use
-s SENSOR:VALUEi.e.-s 1:30.00or-s 1:11.11 -s 2:22.22 -s 3:33.33.
Note: Multiple software sensor values must be sent at once. If aerocli is run again and any sensor value is set, all other unspecified sensors are set to default (disconnected).
-
To synchronize the Aquaero5(R) time with your system time use
-T. -
To set a device/sensor name use
-n REFERENCE:INDEX:VALUEi.e.-n "sensors:1:Sensor 1". -
To get a list of the device/sensor name references and all default names, simply omit the argument to
-n.
