Add Battery Monitor for Hyperx Cloud Flight S (macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 - Chip M2)

[AndersonVD]

Hello fellas, I came here from this issue srn/hyperx-cloud-flight-wireless#4, my goal is tested and make some changes to work just like https://hyperx.com/pages/ngenuity, adding this software function like mute, play pause, surround 7.1 on off, and other. I want to use HeadsetControl API for that.

I have done a lot of research and this how I got so far:
Someone who did it before using Node
(https://github.com/srn/hyperx-cloud-flight-wireless/)

Software I'm using for debug and get all info from USB Port and I already have a lot of data that can be used, I just don't know how at the moment.
(https://ww5.touch-base.com/documentation/USBMacProber.htm)

When a run ./headseatcontrol -o json I got this error message "Error retrieving battery status. Error: IOHIDDeviceSetReport failed: (0xE0005000) unknown error code"

full log

In this link have something about the problem, are buffer sized be different on Mac
(https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42226893/cant-send-hid-feature-reports-of-more-than-64-bytes-on-mac)

I want a help to discovery how I can implement this new features, I don't have exp programming in C, but I will do my best to make this plugin come alive, I'm a python, dart programmer. If anyone could help, will be enjoyable!

Maybe you could try truncating the 0 of the hid_write. Like this, but not sure if this would make a difference:

headsetcontrol --dev -- --device 0x0951:0x16ea --send "0x21, 0xff, 0x05" --receive

Thanks for the quick answer, I don't know if I should put this in the hyperx_cloud_flight.c file, as just running it in the terminal gives me the same error message.
I'll let you know if I find any kind of solution

No its a command for the terminal where you can basically do (with the --dev parameter) everything via command line instead of programming it. Because you mentioned buffer size I thought cutting the ending 0's might help (which I did with the command).

Practically I think you need to look why or what is different. Basically, capture with WireShark on Windows the same command, then see if something is different.
