I have a CM Storm Devastator and cannot get the backlight working on Mac. I have followed the instructions below :
> 1. Go here: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/samplecode/HID_LED_test_tool/Introduction/Intro.html
> 2. Click the little "Download sample code" button
> 3. Open the downloaded folder and go to Build / Release
> 4. Drag the HID LED test tool file to your Applications folder
> 5. Launch the OS X "Automator" program
> 6. Choose "Service" document type
> 7. Under "Library", click "Utilities", and drag "Run Shell Script" to the blank area / workflow pane.
> 8. For "selected service receives" choose "no input" in "any application" (important)
> 9. For "pass input" choose "as arguments" (important)
> 10. For "shell" choose "/bin/bash"
> 11. Paste in this script:
> /Applications/HID\ LED\ test\ tool &
pid=$!
sleep 3
kill $pid
> 12. Click "run" to test. After 3 seconds, your keyboard should remain in a state with num lock and scroll lock enabled, and all the keys should be lit up. Yay! Continue to assign keyboard shortcut to do this.
> 13. Click "File" > "Save", "Save service as" : "Devastator LED Lighter"
> 14. Go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services > General > "Devastator LED Lighter"
> 15. Assign a shortcut. Scroll lock and F keys didn't work for me. I ended up choosing "
The problems I have encountered:
1. The downloaded file is called "HID_LED_test_tool". This contains 3 files
- HID LED test tool-Read Me.txt
- HID LED test tool.xcodeproj
- main.c
Problem: it does not contain a build/release folder, so I dragged HID LED test tool.xcodeproj into the Applications folder.
2. I followed all the instructions above renaming the HID LED... file to a simple HID. The problem is that when I run the automator program as indicated above I get the reply
xxxxx is a directory.
I cannot get around this; I have tried extracting the file within the HID LED test tool folder and then executing the automator with that file name but the exact same thing happens ....
3. When I attempt to open the project.pbxproj file in Terminal I get the response :
