Adding devices to the configuration

[Algorithm0]

This discussion was created so that everyone who was able to configure their installation using this script would write the PRODUCT_ID and VENDOR_ID. Let's help others!
If you used the cofigurator script, then just show the content of your user-devices.json5 here.

[frpcastro]

Adding the CH560 configs:
{ name: "CH560", product_id: 5, simple: false, vendor_id: 13875, }

It has a dual display (CPU + GPU) with the "complex" config (Usage + Temps), using the configurator script I was able to make it display the CPU usage, not the temps. I'm a beginner to Linux so I wouldn´t be able to help with trying to figure out the coding to get the other data (at least not for now).

P.S.: the configurator script is throwing an error at line 118 because there are double quotes being escaped:
[base_script, "-j", f"{json_devices_file}", "-d", f"{json_devices["devices"][selected - 1]["name"]}", "-t"])

I made it work by simply replacing the double quote wrapping the "json_devices" name argument with single quotes:
[base_script, "-j", f"{json_devices_file}", "-d", f'{json_devices["devices"][selected - 1]["name"]}', "-t"])

@frpcastro, hello and thank you very much for your feedback!
I have corrected the errors you mentioned and corrected some other things in the new version. Let's try updating first. Launch the new version and let me know the result of your test here. I'll be waiting.

cd deepcool-digital-info
git pull
sudo ./configurator.py

When the configurator asks you "It seems that you have already visited us! A custom device configuration file was detected. To use him?", answer in the negative

In particular, tell how your device reacts during the sending of random data during configuration, both in simple and in complex mode.

[frpcastro]

Hey there, sorry for the long wait!

It just displays random values whenever it refreshes, after running the configuration again, it now displays both the usage and temps for the CPU, alternating between them when it refreshes. The flashing is kinda distracting so I'll probably run it again and configure it just for temps.

I'd really like to get the GPU side working, but I understand that may be tricky, especially due to my GPU being NVIDIA.

Let me know if I can help you with testing anything else!

Edit: Just tried the configuration in "Simple" mode, and it just doesn't display any data. In complex it works as I reported above.

Nothing, I've been waiting for you! And I also have a GPU from a green company and a branch for development, I have already prepared tools for displaying information about the video card.
I understand correctly that at the moment one part of your monitor shows information about the processor, and the second (which should display information about the video card) just shows zeros?
It will be great if you share a video or a gif about what your Deepcool monitor is now showing.

[frpcastro]

That's exactly it, here's a quick video I just took.

IMG_0245.mov

Tell me why use is always at zero? It's strange. Did you change something in the script?

[Algorithm0]

@frpcastro, I have prepared a test file for you to try to initialize the second part of the screen, which is responsible for data from the GPU.
And so what do you need to do. To start.

cd deepcool-digital-info
git fetch
git checkout ch560
sudo systemctl stop deepcool-temp.service
sudo ./CH560-test.py

After this, you should see static data on the left side of your Deepcool screen. If nothing is displayed, or errors appear, then report it to me here - there is no point in going further.
If everything is as I said, then press Ctrl+C to stop the script.
Now open the file CH560-test.py in your favorite text editor, look closely at these lines (~21st line):

# Varible data
SEND_START = False  # 'False' or 'True'
SEND_MODE = False  # 'False' or 'True'
SHIFT = -1  # -1..40

And so... Routine work awaits you. You need to change the values in these lines, save the file, run. Look at the screen, did anything appear? If not, then change again, look again. I understand it’s exhausting, but I can’t imagine anything else right now.
If I were you, I would start with this configuration:

# Varible data
SEND_START = False  # 'False' or 'True'
SEND_MODE = True  # 'False' or 'True'
SHIFT = 0  # -1..40

And with each launch I would gradually increase the value of the SHIFT variable.
If you were finally able to see something like this on the screen of your Deepcool:

# We want to see something like this:
# Left side of the screen                                    Right side of the screen
#      8 squares                                                     2 squares
#         36 C                                                          33 C

Then write here the configuration with which you succeeded. With this data I can add your device as fully compatible.

Hello! This script should help you configure the program.
It is recommended to run the script with superuser rights to ensure that he has access to the necessary packages, as well as access to USB devices.
If you have already installed this, then it is recommended to stop the deepcool-temp service. Stop the service? [Y/n]: y

Thank you kind person! It worked, I tried your project deepcool-ak620-digital-linux, I have the same model of device, but unfortunately it does not show the temperature, but only the percentage of cooler usage.

[Algorithm0]

@unitedrus, This is the percentage of CPU usage, not in the cooler). As for choosing the temperature, you choose the temperature sensor yourself through the configurator, right? What processor do you have?

Hooray! I congratulate you! The worst is over! Let's now make the information meaningful!
And so, then everything should be simpler. We will look at the temperature sensors that we were able to detect and select something suitable.

Now enter the data output interval in seconds (maximum - 60, 0 - to exit the configurator) [2]: 30
And so, it seems we are ready to install! Call the uninstall script? This will be a good idea if you are using an older version of the installation. [y/N]: y
Removed "/etc/systemd/system/default.target.wants/deepcool-temp.service".
Removed "/etc/systemd/system/suspend.target.wants/deepcool-temp-restart.service".
Done.
Now let's run the installation script. Launch? [Y/n]: y
Warning: The unit file, source configuration file or drop-ins of deepcool-temp.service changed on disk. Run 'systemctl daemon-reload' to reload units.
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/default.target.wants/deepcool-temp.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/deepcool-temp.service.
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/suspend.target.wants/deepcool-temp-restart.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/deepcool-temp-restart.service.
Done.
If you see any errors during the uninstallation and installation run, then don’t worry - most likely these are just attempts to remove something that doesn’t exist.
This completes the setup. Enjoy using it!
