==========
Linak-ctrl
==========
Simple python script to control Linak powered desks and USB2LIN06 cable.
Requirements
============
* Linak desk ;)
* USB2LIN06 device
* Python
* `pyusb`_
Usage
=====
Currently, script have two available commands: ``status`` and ``move``.
Invoking ``status`` will give information about desk height - both in absolute
number, and in centimeters, and information if desk is moving.
.. code:: shell-session
$ linak_ctrl.py status
Position: 767, height: 78.80cm, moving: False
Note, that height was measured manually and may differ depending if desk have
casters or regular foots.
Command ``status`` accept optional parameter ``--loop`` for fetching
information from USB2LIN06 device every 0.2 seconds:
.. code:: shell-session
$ linak_ctrl.py status -l
Position: 2161, height: 100.25cm, moving: True
Position: 2109, height: 99.45cm, moving: True
Position: 2026, height: 98.17cm, moving: True
Position: 1960, height: 97.15cm, moving: True
Position: 1872, height: 95.80cm, moving: True
Position: 1797, height: 94.65cm, moving: True
Position: 1728, height: 93.58cm, moving: True
Position: 1675, height: 92.77cm, moving: True
Position: 1652, height: 92.42cm, moving: True
Position: 1651, height: 92.40cm, moving: False
Command ``move`` is used for adjusting desk height. It needs parameter
``position``, which is absolute number, and its range is between 0 and 6480 (in
my case). For example:
.. code:: shell-session
$ linak_ctrl.py move 1000
For displaying debug information verbosity can be increased using ``--verbose``
parameter:
.. code:: shell-session
$ linak_ctrl.py -v move 1000
Current position: 771
Current position: 792
Current position: 825
Current position: 873
Current position: 939
Current position: 988
Current position: 1000
Adding more `-v` will increase amount of information:
.. code:: shell-session
$ linak_ctrl.py -vv move 1000

Alternatives
============
There are two projects, which more or less are doing the same. Fist one can be
treated as a reference project - lots of information in the source code, second
one is a python project, which uses `libusb1`_ wrapper library instead of
`pyusb`_:
* `usb2lin06-HID-in-linux-for-LINAK-Desk-Control-Cable`_
* `python-linak-desk-control`_
