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.

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

> pitch depends on position of hinge > volume depends on how fast you adjust it
Yeah, I had the same thought - in all the creaky doors I've seen, pitch and speed go together.

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

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 :)

It finally feels premium. This is really funny

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.

Are you running MacOS on your Framework?
