cargo install earbuds

You can display the status of your buds in your polybar with this script
To achieve this, you have to add following to your polybar config and move the script into your polybar script folder. Don't forget to add buds to the modules section.

[module/buds]
type = custom/script
interval = 8
label = %output%
exec = ~/.config/polybar/scripts/polybar.sh
click-middle = earbuds toggle anc
click-right = earbuds toggle touchpadlock

To get most of the features listed above, you need to have a daemon instance running (earbuds -d). If you run one of the commands listed below, the daemon automatically gets started.

Status informations:

earbuds status

Set equalizer to Bass boost

earbuds set equalizer bass

Enable ANC

earbuds enable anc

Change ambient sound

earbuds set ambientsound <0-4> # 0: off 4: highest

Toggle noise reduction or the touchpad lock

earbuds toggle anc/touchpad

Get status in json format

earbuds status -o json

Set the left touchpad tap command to spotify

earbuds set tap-action spotify left

Connect/disconnect:

To debug the daemon run:

earbuds -k -d --no-fork

This kills the currently running daemon, creates a new one and starts it in the foreground.
