Hi man,

Great project! Cool to see people volunteer their time to adding features SteelSeries neglect.

Do you think it would be possible to expand on the functionality your project to also include wireless mice?
I have a Rival 650 Wireless, and apparently SteelSeries think using the scroll wheel as the only battery indicator was sufficient.

I would love to be able to display the battery level on the display of my Apex Pro keyboard.

im new to nodejs

i keep on getting this line in my code

prebuild-install WARN install No prebuilt binaries found (target=14.15.4 runtime=node arch=x64 libc= platform=win32)

then followed by this

warning c4290 c++ exception specification ignored

is there anyway to fix ?
could it be the reason that i have do not have the system in English ?

thank you.

Expected: script shows battery percentage for Arctis 9

Actual: script shows nothing, more info below after brief debugging

More context:

Hi,

I found this repo and it looks like a way to get missing feature for Arctis 9 of checking the battery state in some reasonable way.
(I don't consider gg app reasonable, way to bloated with unnecessary stuff :/)

I found issue:
#10
But it seems change didn't work. At lest for me script still fails to find the proper device.
(Win 10, PC variant of Arctis 9)

I'm more than happy to get script working on my device with some guidance on how this should work and how to debug it.
If there is a good fix I could contribute a PR.

Listing Devices I found:
7 copies of Razer Taipan, that seems to be my mouse, not sure why it appears 7 times...
5 copies of unnamed "{vendorId: 4617, productId: 8705,}" that seems to be my Rise Keyboard as it disappeared when i switched keyboards
4 copies of Arctis 9: https://pastebin.com/jwcaSsyv
Vendor is 4952 as expected, but productId are 3x 4802 and 4804 (in hex 0x12C2 and 0x12C4 )
0x12C2 would match the script spec, but usage is set to 1 whatever that means, so it gets filtered out.

PS I think I'll contribute a PR with "No matching Arctis device detected." as current lack of any message when all devices are not matching is confusing.

This is incredibly helpful - it took me 60 seconds from finding this result on Google to finally finding out what the battery percentage on my headset is. And the desktop notification is a great touch too. Thank you, that is all 🙂

There are a number of issues with running this on Node 14/16.

Are there any packages that break with that node version?

Open to contributing a PR if necessary

I tried adding [4152, 0x2212], // Arctis 7P+ to the series list but none of the d.usage !== 1 conditions pass, getting rid of that condition and trying all of them still doesn't work

Hi, I'm looking to make a quick script to turn off the setting "blink LED when headset is off".

How did you know what data to write to the device in order to get back the battery percentage? Is there a way to output features that the headset has?

I just downloaded the cource code but I want to add my Steelseries Rival 650 mouse, where did you get all the device info that you have in the code?

Hey,

i might say, quite a good job with this! one thing i though might be useful - a taskbar icon, e.g just like cpu/gpu temperature. I hope it's not hard to implement, some other people could find it useful as well ;)

Headset plugged and working but still getting "Your SteelSeries Arctis 7 device's battery percentage is 0" on cmd and "Please connect your SteelSeries Wireless Device first" on notifications panel.

First of all, thanks for spending your free time to make up for Steelseries missing basic features. I was facing some issues while trying to use your project. My setup is the following:

• Arctis 1 Wireless (Transmitter-Version 1.6.0.0, Headset-Version 1.6.0.0)
• npm package: [email protected]
• NodeJS: v14.15.5
• Most recent master version of this repository

1. npm package not working

It's super convenient to have a npm package. Unfortunately it is not working for me. I installed it globally using npm i -g arctis-battery-percentage but when I call arctis-battery no output is shown on the command line.

C:\>arctis-battery

C:\>

2. Running the script locally

In issue #10 @ateee0907 was facing the same issue. You were asking him to execute the script locally, so I decided to do the same. When executing node ./percentage.js in the main directory, I get an error message, complaining that path module isn't defined.

C:\arctis-battery-percentage-master>node ./percentage.js
Initializing...
Your Arctis 1 Wireless device's battery percentage is 3
C:\arctis-battery-percentage-master\percentage.js:48
arctis-battery-percentage-master\percentage.js:48
    icon: path.join(__dirname, `./images/${percentage}.png`),
          ^

ReferenceError: path is not defined

So I went ahead and required the path module in the beginning of your script by adding const path = require('path').
After that the error vanishes. Is this error and behaviour expected?

3. Wrong percentage

After I was able to get the script going, the desired cli output and notification showed up. Unfortunately the returned value is wrong (see screenshot). I just fully loaded the headset which you can clearly see in SteelSeries Engine in the background.

4. Percentage is only found when SteelSeries Engine window is active

When executing the script nothing happens until I click on the SteelSeries Engine window. I guess the arctis-usb-finder module is only able to find the headset when SteelSeries Engine is active. Is this expected?

Sorry for reporting multiple issues within one GitHub issue, but I'm not sure if they are somehow connected, so I decided to put them all in one issue. And once again, I'm grateful for your efforts on this topic, I just can't quite get it to work. If you need further information on investigating this issue, just let me know 👍

device.readSync() is waiting for response and when i open sse3 windowed (or focused) is working but i need this data immediately. My headphone is Actris 1 Wireless

Code :

// Act 1 w serie arr = [4152, 4787]
devices
		.filter((d) => {
			return series.some((s) => {
				return d.vendorId === s[0] && d.productId === s[1] && d.usage !== 1
			})
		})
		.forEach((deviceInfo) => {
			var device = new HID.HID(deviceInfo.path)
			//device.setNonBlocking(true)
			if (!device) {
				console.log('Could not find device :(')
				process.exit(1)
			}
			try {
				device.write([0x06, 0x18])
				device.resume()
				var report = device.readSync()
				console.log(report);
				callback(deviceInfo, report[3]) // i think my verisons percentage is 4th elem.
				
			} catch (error) {
				console.log(error)
				console.log('Error: Cannot write to Arctis Wireless device. Please replug the device.')
			}
			device.close()
		})

Should read "Arctis", not "Actris".

I am kinda beginner with all this node stuff and while i took a while to research answers to install those modules right way i didnt get it to work. I would be really happy to learn how to do this with more depth on install tutorial and it would be good for other beginners that are trying to get this awesomeness to work.

Would be super convenient if this all got wrapped up into something that was distributable to end users without having to install a full node dev environment.

hi there, so i am pretty new to this programs and i really have no idea on how to install it, can someone please guide me through the process step by step, i already installed node.js thanks

Hey!

First of all thanks for this script.

I have brand new Arctis 9 headset.

Does this script support it ? Or only the older version of this headsets?

Thank you in advance.

I have no idea how to install this, please help :(

Hi,

I would like to install your software on my Linux Manjaro distribution.

However, I run into an issue when I have tried to install it.

I don't think that your sofware is only for Windows but for Linux too.

Could you help me for resolving this issue.
You should make a PKBUILD and done an ask for getting it in AUR Package.

BTW. I have a Steelseries Artic Silver 7 Edition 2019.
By advance, thanks a lot.
