deficient / battery-widget Goto Github PK

Title is self explainatory. Widget always displays battery_prefix regardless of whether the ac cord is plugged in or not.

Nice work btw. Keep it up.

I cloned the repo into ./widgets/ and I imorted it using local battery_widget = pcall(require, "widgets.battery-widget") but as soon as I reload the wm I get this error and the the wm fall back to the default config

Using this widget in my wibar, I am not sure why, but the font of the widget is very small. I guess it is not respecting my bar config font & size. Here is my bar

Some stuff which might help

-- Battery
local battery_widget = require("battery-widget")
local BAT0 = battery_widget { adapter = "BAT0", ac = "AC" }

battery_widget {
    ac = "AC",
    adapter = "BAT0",
    ac_prefix = "AC: ",
    battery_prefix = "Bat: ",
    percent_colors = {
        { 25, "red"   },
        { 50, "orange"},
        {999, "green" },
    },
    listen = true,
    timeout = 10,
    widget_text = "${AC_BAT}${color_on}${percent}%${color_off}",
    widget_text = '<span font="Roboto Mono 10">${AC_BAT}</span>${color_on}${percent}%${color_off}',
    tooltip_text = "Battery ${state}${time_est}\nCapacity: ${capacity_percent}%",
    alert_threshold = 5,
    alert_timeout = 0,
    alert_title = "Low battery !",
    alert_text = "${AC_BAT}${time_est}"
}

    -- Add widgets to the wibox
    s.mywibox:setup {
        layout = wibox.layout.align.horizontal,
        { -- Left widgets
            layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal,
            s.mytaglist,
            s.mypromptbox,
        },
        s.mytasklist, -- Middle widget
        { -- Right widgets
            layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal,
            BAT0,
            mytextclock,
        },
    }
end)
-- }}}

Thanks in advance :)

I am using a Pinebook Pro, which has a different battery device name than normal (/sys/class/power_supply/cw2015-battery/ instead of /sys/class/power_supply/BATx), which I adjusted for in my Awesome config. When running on AC power, the widget works perfectly. However, when just using the battery, the widget crashes with .config/awesome/battery-widget/init.lua:240: attempt to perform arithmetic on a nil value (field 'charge').

The relevant section of my config is

`local battery_widget = require("battery-widget")
local BAT0 = battery_widget { adapter = "cw2015-battery", ac = "dc-charger", timeout = 10, listen = true }

...

s.mywibox:setup {
...
( -- Right widgets
BAT0,
...`

I use your battery widget in Linux. I like it. I, however, need to maintain some machines running FreeBSD. FreeBSD doesn't have acpid (it has devd). It also doesn't use sysfs, it uses sysctls. The translations are relatively straightforward (well, acpid->devd is some work)

My lua sucks and I have no interest in improving it, but I can tell you how to accomplish most of what you need in FreeBSD if anyone is interested in porting this. Meanwhile I will try to find another battery monitor.

I follow the step to add the battery widget, but I get this error:

/home/user/.config/awesome/battery-widget/init.lua 143: bad argument # 1 to 'tolower' (string expected, got nil)

Hi, I am new to arch and I was wondering if there are any dependencies or unicode character support packages that work well with the widget. When I change the prefix "Bat:" to "U+1F50B" to display a battery icon, the widget renders "U+1F50B" instead of the icon. Any suggestion would be very much appreciated.

Using right_layout:add(battery.widget) throws an error cause there is no object right_layout. How may I add it to the wibar, after initial setup?

In your screenshot the battery capacity is 119%, is that normal?

Hey.
Renaming battery-widget.lua to init.lua would make using Your module slightly cleaner in dotfiles-repository-like environments.
By default require('MODULE') will try to load MODULE.lua, and then MODULE/init.lua, thus this repo could be easily used as a submodule in git and such, without playing with symlinks.
