Alternative MacOS implementation of software monitor controls for Dasung Paperlike HD great eInk monitor.
NOTE: I am not using this anymore as C binding, as have switched to https://github.com/alin23/Lunar. It has a CLI, which is able to send DDCCI commands w/o any hassle as well on M1 HDMI port. Dasung codes can be picked from this repo. E.g.:
lunar ddc PaperlikeHD 0x08 0x0603to send clear
To compile:
git clone https://github.com/dzirtusss/paperlike-mac
cd paperlike-mac
make
To use:
paperlike clean
- Dasung's native Paperlike HD software looks poorly implemented
- it sits in background and eats about 10-20% of CPU w/o any "reasonable" reasons
- there is no possibilitites to use it from scripts
- only Intel binary, no Apple Silicon, and I guess will not be
- cli interface vs UI
- does not run any background process
- written in pure C, no any other languages/frameworks except Apple APIs
- should work on Apple Silicon (will test once I'll have it)
- open source
- can be easily extended with other commands and functionality
- finding Paperlike monitor in multi-monitor setup
- correctly sending DDCCI commands via HDMI connection
- correctly build Dasung's internal messages format
- sending 'clean' command
Actually atm, I personally don't need other commands except clean, but as information about all other commands is available, it is rather trivial to add those. Just email me if interested.
