charge-guru's Introduction

ChargeGuru

This is an application to control SkyRC B6* chargers. It's a replacement for the ChargeMaster application provided by the manufacturer, which is badly designed and doesn't work on GNU/Linux. It's written in Qt5.

Installation

Dependencies:

qt5 qtcharts libusb-1.0 libb6

Grab libb6 from https://github.com/maciek134/libb6.

Run these commands to compile the software:

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
$ make

Either run the programs that use it as root (not recommended) or create an udev rule similar to this one:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0000", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0001", MODE:="666", GROUP="plugdev"
KERNEL=="hidraw*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0000", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0001", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"

Start the software and connect the charger, the interface will be enabled when charger's interface is up (it may take a few seconds, the MCU is a bit slow in that aspect).

What's working

device information
system settings
starting / stopping charging with all available options
toggable charging charts
displaying charging errors
notification after charging complete

TODO / what to expect in the future

saving charging profiles for quick use
battery datasheet / charging profile database
charging data export (to csv)
pause / resume charging
SMS / e-mail notifications
touch interface?
Windows build if I figure out how to make CMake work in there

linker error for libusb on Debian Bullseye

Findlibusb-1.0 module is not working right on Debian Bullseye, attached cmake configuration using pkg-config to get includes and libraries paths for the linker.

Not working on macOS

I tried using this app on macOS and it didn't work - the app simply doesn't detect the device.

After looking around, it turned out that libusb requires quite exclusive access to the USB device, which macOS only grants to kernel extensions or USB devices not claimed by other extensions, so libusb_open_device_with_vid_pid fails 1. Since libusb couldn't get access, apparently something was already "claiming it". After long tries of unloading every USB-related kext I could, I came to conclusion that it's probably system's HID driver, (which obviously can't be unloaded). Even the original SkyRC app seems not to require special drivers, which hints that it's using HID APIs as well.

I've checked the code of libb6 that this app is using and it seemed that a swap of libusb to libhid is quite straightforward. I've tried doing that and the app seems to work. Also, with hidlib it's not necessary to give root access or create udev access rules.

Here are the the changes to make it work with hidlib:
