Deepcool LD Series Digital support for non-Windows OS

using HIDAPI

should works on Linux, FreeBSD and other places where hidapi is supported

requirements

python3, hidapi pytohn bindings, and system's hidapi library

additionally, psutil for conveniences in gathering sensors data, but that's not the main point

device usage

the main piece is in ld_series.py

initialization

write the two packets in ld_series.INIT_SEQUENCE to the device, note that the packets are already complete and ready to be used in hidapi device.write() command

make and send the report data

use ld_series.make_report(power, temp, usage, use_fahrenheit=False) to generate a report packet from supplied values, then write them to the device using hidapi device.write() command

supported values:

• power (uint, should be watts)
• temperature (float32, in degC, or degF with use_fahrenheit=True)
• usage (uint, cpu percent)

example

quick example:

import hidapi
import ld_series

dev = hidapi.device()
dev.open(ld_series.VID, ld_series.PID)

# init sequence
for packet in ld_series.INIT_SEQUENCE:
    dev.write(packet)

# send some data
report = ld_series.make_report(power=0, temp=30, usage=7)
dev.write(report)

# close device when exit
dev.close()
