I was poking through the iio devices on my Framework the other day and turns out Framework 12s have a pretty accurate hinge angle sensor! So I made a version of LidAngleSensor (https://github.com/samhenrigold/LidAngleSensor) but for the Framework 12 on Linux, so you can make your hinge sound rusty

Awesome. This reminds me of the fun apps we had when the MacBook and iPhone got released.

Very cool. Could make it be higher pitch & louder when closed faster :)

That's really fun and cool! :) I was hoping the sound would also be sped up/down (or change of pitch perhaps would work better) as you moved the hinge faster/slower, so you could do that really slow "tack-tack-tack" sound like when you move a really heavy door on a worn hinge really slow

from the readme:

> the filtering is optimised for framework 12's hinge stiffness.

never in a million years would I expect to have to optimize software for a given hinge stiffness, this made me chuckle just reading it

I like that :)

I'm reminded of the hacks for old ThinkPads that read the accelerometer used to detect drops and park the disk heads; by slapping the machine on either side, you could switch to the next or previous desktop.

It finally feels premium. This is really funny

Are you running MacOS on your Framework?
