Package: linak-ctrl
Simple python script to control Linak powered desks and USB2LIN06 cable.RequirementsLinak desk ;)USB2LIN06 devicePythonpyusbInstallationThere are couple of different ways for installinglinak-ctrl. One of the
preferred ways is to use virtualenv and pip:$gitclonehttps://github.com/gryf/linak-ctrl$cdlinak-ctrllinak-ctrl $ python -m venv linak(linak)linak-ctrl $ pip install .(linak)linak-ctrl $ linak-ctrl status
Position: 767, height: 78.80cm, moving: FalseOr, you can install it system-wide:$sudopipinstalllinak-ctrlAnd finally, you could also install dependences from your system repositories,
and use script directly, by placing it somewhere in your$PATH.UsageCurrently, script have two available commands:statusandmove.Invokingstatuswill give information about desk height - both in absolute
number, and in centimeters, and information if desk is moving.$linak_ctrl.pystatusPosition: 767, height: 78.80cm, moving: FalseNote, that height was measured manually and may differ depending if desk have
casters or regular foots.Commandstatusaccept optional parameter--loopfor fetching
information from USB2LIN06 device every 0.2 seconds:$linak_ctrl.pystatus-lPosition: 2161, height: 100.25cm, moving: True

Position: 1651, height: 92.40cm, moving: FalseCommandmoveis used for adjusting desk height. It needs parameterposition, which is absolute number, and its range is between 0 and 6480 (in
my case). For example:$linak_ctrl.pymove1000For displaying debug information verbosity can be increased using--verboseparameter:$linak_ctrl.py-vmove1000Current position: 771

treated as a reference project - lots of information in the source code, second
one is a python project, which useslibusb1wrapper library instead ofpyusb:usb2lin06-HID-in-linux-for-LINAK-Desk-Control-Cablepython-linak-desk-controlLicenseThis software is licensed under 3-clause BSD license. See LICENSE file for
