Mirajazz

A Rust crate for interfacing with Mirabox and Ajazz "stream controller" devices

This is a hardfork of elgato-streamdeck crate, with notable differences:

• No Elgato-related code. For that you should use an original library
• No device-specific code in the library, which devices to support is up to you
• Uses async-hid instead of hidapi-rs. For old synchronous implementation use version v0.3.0
• Async only

The idea is to have a common lowlevel library serving as a backbone for device-specific OpenDeck plugins

Current limitations

• Depends on tokio for wrapping synchronous image manipulation tasks
• No way to read firmware version due to async-hid not supporting feature reports for now
• "Old" devices have several issues with their serial number:
  • The serial number is same for all the devices: 355499441494
  • On Windows the serial number changes each time device is reconnected
  • If you have the device that always returns this serial number, just hardcode it...

Reference implementations

There is couple OpenDeck plugins made by me, which can be used as a starting point for making your own:

• opendeck-akp03 for Ajazz AKP 03 / Mirabox N3 and derivatives
• opendeck-akp153 for Ajazz AKP153 / Mirabox HSV293S and derivatives

If you plan to fork any of them, here's the checklist of things you'll need to do

udev rules

For using on Linux, you are required to bring your own udev rules for all the VID/PID pairs you want to support. Without the udev rules, you wouldn't be able to connect to the devices from the userspace.

Here's an example for Ajazz AKP03R (VID 0x0300, PID 0x1003):

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0300", ATTR{idProduct}=="1003", MODE="0660", TAG+="uaccess", GROUP="plugdev"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0300", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1003", MODE="0660", TAG+="uaccess", GROUP="plugdev"
KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTR{idVendor}=="0300", ATTR{idProduct}=="1003", MODE="0660", TAG+="uaccess", GROUP="plugdev"
KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0300", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1003", MODE="0660", TAG+="uaccess", GROUP="plugdev"
