blinky

control your blinkstick via http requests

requirements

the node-hid module is a bit picky about node.js's version - use node.js 8.x or 15.x

clone the project (to '/opt/blinky') git clone https://git.velvettear.de/velvettear/blinky.git /opt/blinky
enter the cloned directory
cd /opt/blinky
install and switch to a supported node.js version (automatically done via .nvmrc file) nvm install
install the required modules
npm install
switch back to your system's default node.js version nvm deactivate
execute blinky
nvm run 15 blinky.js

for security reasons it is highly recommended to not run blinky with root permissions!

create a new system user
useradd -r -s /usr/bin/nologin blinky
symlink the provided systemd-service file and modify it according to your needs
ln -s /opt/blinky/blinky.service /etc/systemd/system/blinky.service
reload systemd-services
systemctl daemon-reload
enable and start blinky as a systemd-service
systemctl enable --now blinky

blinky-feed.sh
- gathers various system information (currently temperature only) then converts it to color values and sends it to blinky
- requirements: bash, bc
