Description

Enabled haptics by sending an HID message to the dial. This feature also introduces a change to how sensitivity works. Previously sensitivity increased or decreased the number of lines scrolled or amount of volume change, but did not truly change how sensitive the dial was. Now it works like changing the DPI setting on a mouse; it increases the amount of events generated per angle physically rotated. This way the haptics match the sensitivity.

Some changes may be necessary to retune the multiplier value in ScrollController.

Fixes #15

Type of change

• [x] New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)

How Has This Been Tested?

Launching mac-dial restores previous settings. Quitting mac-dial turns off haptics and restores the default sensitivity. Changing sensitivity and enabling/disabling haptics works as expected. Project generates no new errors and uses general architecture of original project to achieve the feature.

On my MacBook Pro (silicon), the dial volume does what it should do. When the Qobuz (a streaming service like Tidal) media player is active, the button can pause/start a song and double clicking skips to the next song. On my MacMini (silicon) however, the volume controls work the same, but pressing the button always opens Apple Music and will not control another media app that is active. Would it be possible to assign a default media app?

Such a luxurious feeling using the dial for volume. Though I'm finding that when I double press in playback mode, instead of progressing to the next track as expected, it first pauses the music and then progresses to the next song (leaving it in a stopped state) - Using Apple music on OS X 12.0.1

I don't know if its possible but if the ability to reverse the wheel functionality or even setting a keybind on click. Awesome project by the way, I've been using it for days now.

Do we know if the dial supports virtual detents? This would be a very cool feature to add, for feedback.

I also thought I read somewhere that it supports vibration feedback.

Added Standard and Natural Scrolling Directions Standard: Clockwise rotation scrolls up, counter clockwise rotation scrolls down Natural: clockwise rotation scroll down, counterclockwise rotation scrolls up

set the default to natural

This is my first time working in swift so please review

Why it gives me such error: cannot find 'hid_get_manufacturer_string' in scope, and also 'hid_get_serial_number_string', 'hid_close', 'hid_open' etc.?

Maybe it is a stupid question. I want to use the dial to control a slide that I had built in a webapp by python on my Mac, what should I do? Do I need to change something in the code? Or if I want to use python to read the value of the rotation of the dial, how should I do it? I had never used swift before, so I am a little bit confused. Thank you

This is a great tool, thank you. In playback mode, is any way to implement the granular volume control that you can do while holding option+shift while using the volume buttons on a keyboard?

The cpu of my mac is Apple M1 Pro， when i debug the project:

I have clone the hidapi and make :

$ sudo make install Consolidate compiler generated dependencies of target hidapi_darwin [100%] Built target hidapi_darwin Install the project... -- Install configuration: "Release" -- Installing: /usr/local/lib/cmake/hidapi/libhidapi.cmake -- Installing: /usr/local/lib/cmake/hidapi/libhidapi-release.cmake -- Installing: /usr/local/lib/cmake/hidapi/hidapi-config-version.cmake -- Installing: /usr/local/lib/cmake/hidapi/hidapi-config.cmake -- Installing: /usr/local/lib/libhidapi.a -- Installing: /usr/local/include/hidapi/hidapi.h -- Installing: /usr/local/include/hidapi/hidapi_darwin.h -- Installing: /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/hidapi.pc

Main update here is that I've got rid of usbhid library, using IOKit framework instead. That resulted in a smaller code. Other updates:

• added support for the haptics
• added "third" click to be able to use "previous track" event
• changed icons, to my taste they look better in the menubar
• added support for the localization (but only English is available for now)

Currently there is only one problem. I can't figure out how to make the dial not go to sleep. Or when resuming, send an event like "resume was made by pressing the button". Everything else is fun, but absence of this feature makes whole application much worse.

Will look into this more (maybe in 8 more months, hehe).

It would be cool to have some features offered for the click of the dial. It is on play pause in playback, and click (?) with scroll mode, but I think it would be cool to be able to customize what the dial click does, including a "change dial mode" function, maybe on long press. Just suggestions, if you can do that. It's an amazing tool already, thanks

I have a contribution that I'd like to create a PR for. I've added the ability to send arrow keys. I am planning to experiment with this for navigating code.

What do I need to do to add these contributions? Specifically, how does it work in terms of the license file? I assume I should not modify this, but I also don't think I'm allowed to implicitly claim that the code I added is written by you.

I'm hoping to make some more contributions over time if this experiment works out, so would appreciate any guidance.

Just installed 1.3 on my M1 Mini and while the app shows my surface dial is connected, turning or pressing the dial does nothing. It was working as designed before installing 1.3

Steps: Install Mac-dial 1.3 from zip (replacing previous version) Restart OS Start Mac-dial Select "Scroll mode" OR "Playback Mode" Scrolling dial does not scroll safari page or adjust volume (respective of mode)

(I see "Surface dial 123456789ABC Connected" in the menubar dropdown)

What other information can I offer?
