Arctis-7-Battery-Rainmeter-Skin

A project for a friend who has a SteelSeries Arctis 7 and wanted to make a rainmeter skin to display its battery.

I have included both the script that gets the battery level of the headset and serves that information on a webserver as well as the rainmeter skin which parses the battery level from the website and displays it with a cool battery icon (made by yours truly :3)

Requirements:

• Express
• node-hid
• pm2

How to install the Rainmeter skin

• To download and install the rainmeter skin download the rmskin file from here
• Double click the file and it will automatically install into Rainmeter

How to install the server

• Download or clone this repository in a directory of your choosing
• Move the HeadsetBatteryScript folder into someplace safe (like your 'Documents' folder or something)
• Navigate to the HeadsetBatteryScript folder using CMD (the command prompt)
• run npm install
• open headsetScriptStartup.cmd and put the full path of the index.js file in there
• Double click headsetScriptStartup.cmd to run it.
• Download this gist
• Move the restartPm2Apps.cmd file into your startup folder (Type shell:startup into windows run dialogue (WIN + R))
• You may need to run pm2 save into a terminal.
• done c:. Now the server will automatically start up on PC boot so you don't have to worry about running the script all the time.
