Added a view modifier for the PowerMate events that can sink them into Bindings

#Swift #SwiftUI #PowerMate

Well this is a nice little control panel, if nothing else.

The controls are all in an Observable class which sends the relevant command over USB when updated. There's also an async stream for events from the device.

I waited for deliveries and played Return to Monkey Island.

More important, @lardh wrote about making a #powermate useful with modern Macs again using #BetterTouchTool.

Back in 2001 or so, Griffin Technology released the PowerMate. Here's how you can get it working on a modern Mac in 2023 …

@llo_ai Short video showing the #PowerMate and #BetterTouchTool in action. For this I set it to use the Volume Up / Down Small Step actions for precise volume control, but any actions could be used.

@llo_ai Got the blog entry for using the #PowerMate with #bettertouchtool written. It contains some backstory, instructions and the javascript needed to get the thing working.

Who remembers the #Griffin #PowerMate, released over 20 years ago? I think I’ve had this one since 2004 or 2005. It’s neat, but does not have software support any more.

Until now 😄

A new version of #bettertouchtool by @llo_ai was recently released with support for “generic devices”.

A few lines of JavaScript and the PowerMate works perfectly on my M1 Mini. Time to sleep now, will write a blog entry about it tomorrow. 😴
