Installation

Pre-requisites

• g810-led in PATH
• A compatible keyboard

Installing extension and download binary file

• Head over to releases
  • Click on the .xpi file and allow Firefox to install the extension
  • Download the logitube file and place it into a folder of your choice

App installation

• Download the logitube binary in the releases and place it in a folder you like (For example $HOME/Documents/Code/Projects/logitube/).
• Change the binary's permission to allow executing (chmod u+x logitube)

Creating a native manifest

The native manifest allows the extension to send data to the client app (See Project structure for more information)

Here is an example of creating a native manifest in Linux. For more information, refer to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Native_messaging

• Create a new file: touch ~/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/logitube.json
• Open the file in an editor of your choice and paste the following:

{
    "name": "logitube",
    "description": "Logitech lightsync keyboards as progress bar for videos",
    "path": "<PATH>",
    "type": "stdio",
    "allowed_extensions": [
        "[email protected]"
    ]
}

• Change the property <PATH> to the logitube binary file. For example: /home/user/Documents/Code/Projects/logitube/logitube

And that's it, the extension should work for you

Project structure
