suggestion to make a GUI for configurating everything about gk6x HOT 25 CLOSED

edcc42e adds support for this. You need to copy the data files from the official software, or use the data files from the releases page on this repo. It hasn't been tested extensively, but it should work (hopefully).

@aDavroult I don't have access to anything that isn't already on the official download page http://www.jikedingzhi.com/downloadlist?driverID=41latest version V5.1.0.6 has full source of the web component under /CMSEngine/driver/. All newer version have that same folder, but the files are packed using something like webpack (it's still mostly readable, just format it).

There's this that I recently found out (and it was recently created).
For now it seems to only support assigning keys, for which a GUI isn't really that helpful.
If support for lighting and macros is added, it'd be awesome!

I was playing around with the web GUI idea again. I'm doing a bodge job of it but I think it's just a matter of getting files in the right places and implementing the native calls that js makes. So far I've got it loading up on a web page, but haven't implemented most of the native function calls yet.

from gk6x.

Yea, it's just a matter how much you care to put in the effort to create a GUI.

I had previously tried to use the official software as it's just a webapp essentially. I got to a certain point but it stopped being fun so I abandoned it.

Yea it isn't great, but it's already complete which is why I attempted to use it. I don't have any plans to create a GUI,, so I'll leave that up to anyone who wants to tackle that.

from gk6x.

A GUI would be nice but please don't make it "like the 1st party software"! The first party software is TERRIBLE. If a GUI is created it should be simple and easy to to use.

well, im not saying to recreate the 1st party software, i just said to make a gui

from gk6x.

Sorry for barging in, just wanted to say ur software is awesome, that the official software doesnt even have the advance macro like waiting few secs before pushing another button then nest button,, etc. and having a gui really will take everything to the next level, though you just said that you will leave that to someone else, thank you very much for your effort, and if ever theres a need for a financial support or a paid version of all of these, im more than happy to participate. thanks again

Someone do a GUI ?

I really want a driver source code like matrix do with the real gk6x driver

The official GUI is all written in JavaScript so it's basically open source.... the older versions (prior to 6.0) didn't use any webpack type things so you could easily modify the source code. You still can easily modify it, but the naming of things is a bit more off.

What is matrix?

from gk6x.

@pixeltris The official software is open? They mention on some page that their software is "open source" but there is no link to any repository or anything

from gk6x.

In V5.1.0.6 (and prior versions) the full source code of the GUI component was essentially open source, yes. The GUI depends on calling into the native code backend though. As mentioned I had started working on using that GUI and hooking it up to this project. Essentially you just need to implement all of the callCMS function calls (which call into native code). It's possible to essentially use it as a regular web page as well (avoiding having to embed chromium).

Matrix keyboard it's a rebrand of the gk61 keyboard and they modified the gk6x driver to got his logo

You don't have the driver source code to do this ?

Can you send the source file of this ? Thx

from gk6x.

You think you can create the software and be open source to change logo ?

from gk6x.

@pixeltris But are you allowed to change the code/use it? Won't it need a license (which they definitely haven't provided)

from gk6x.

I dunno. I just hooked it up because it wasn't much code to write and people were asking about a GUI. It's not something I'm taking any further than I have already implemented. And I'm not personally going to write a GUI myself as it's more effort than you might think to support all the different boards, lighting, macros and stuff.

GK96XS, huh? have you tried other GK keyboards too? if not, feel free to hit me up to test if gk64 would work

EDIT: this link

http://www.jikedingzhi.com/downloadlist?driverID=41latest

returns an error 502 at the time of writing this

from gk6x.

I don't have a GK96XS haha, I had just enabled the debug mode which turns on all the keyboards. In the README there's a screenshot of it on non debug mode showing my "GK84S RGB" (not sure what the 'S' stands for tbh). As mentioned it's now implemented and in the releases page (with all of the necessary files bundled in) so feel free to try it out via the 'gui' command.

from gk6x.

if i host the web gui it can be available if someone go to the ip:port ?
To change their own keyboard things

from gk6x.

You could update the ip address to update your keyboard settings remotely, but not somebody else's as it's obviously communicating with the local device. There isn't a standardized remote HID protocol.

from gk6x.

Hum can you make an intuitive driver like when we exec the.exe the webgui
launching too ?

from gk6x.

You are free to use the code in this repo as you please. I am personally not doing anything further than what is already done.

from gk6x.

As stated in #15 (comment) there's partial GUI support by using the web component of the official software. While improvements still need to be made, there will not be any alternative GUI support added to this repo so I'll go ahead and close this issue.
