# Readme File

This code was forked from Jim Gupta's code at <https://code.google.com/p/linux-g13-driver/>

I've forked this code because Google Code is deprecated and I don't want it lost.  Since then, I've started playing with it a little bit (Mostly directory structure and semantic changes for use with git).

I haven't changed the fundamental code because I'm by no means a coder, but we'll see what happens from here.  I'll eventually write a .service file for systemd and perhaps package it for the AUR.  The service file should work with Ubuntu 15.04 and above.

## Notes

I've tried this on 64-bit Arch Linux and it works so far.  I haven't tried it in 64-bit Ubuntu but it should work there, too.

I'm having a hard time getting udev rules to work so this can run in user mode.  It seems that `/dev/uinput` is in the kernel and loads before anything is writable and the file's permissions don't get modified.

## Requirements

### libusb-1.0

For Ubuntu, it should be installed already but if you don't have it, you can get it by typing:

sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0

For Arch Linux you can install it by typing:

sudo pacman -S libusb

### Java version 1.6 or higher

For Ubuntu, it can be installed by typing:

sudo apt-get install default-jre

For Arch it can be installed by typing:

sudo pacman -S jre8-openjdk

## Download

Download zip file from <https://github.com/Tetz95/linux-g13-driver/releases/latest>  
Unzip into your favorite directory

## Build

Open a console (command prompt)  
Go to the directory where you unzipped your download  
type `make`

## Running Application

Run the config tool first!  
In a command prompt go to the directory where you unzipped your download and type:

java -jar Linux-G13-GUI.jar

This will bring up the UI and create the initial files needed for your driver.  
All config files are saved in `$(HOME)/.g13`

Run the driver  
In a command prompt go to the directory where you unzipped your download and type:

sudo -E ./G13-Linux-Driver

The `-E` is to run it using your environment variables so it doesn't look for the `.g13` directory in `/root`  
If you want to run the command and then detach it so you can close the terminal:

sudo -E ./G13-Linux-Driver &

If you are configuring the application while the driver is running, the driver will not pick up changes unless you select a different bindings set or you can restart the driver.

The top 4 buttons under the LCD screen select the bindings.

The joystick currently only supports key mappings.
