Add a configure.sh sript

[atar-axis]

It would be easier for most users if we offer a configuration script which

1. shows the possible ones, and
2. does the necessary sysfs settings

sudo ./configure.sh --combined_z_axis=true

If any of you wants to help, I would appreciate it!

I wouldn't mind working on this, I'm a little new to contributing to open source, and contributing in general but I would love to help. This would me my first contribution to any open source project.

Hey there! Thats nice, just open a pull request and I will merge it If it works 😊 If you have any kind of questions: feel free to ask :)

[CodeCanna]

Cool I'm excited! Hey so just to make sure, the desired behavior is for the user is:

./configure
make
make install

or is ./configure.sh a custom configure script?

[CodeCanna]

And I'm not clear on what you mean by:

1. shows the possible ones, and
2. does the necessary sysfs settings

Shows the possible ones what?
And does the necessary sysfs settings, does that mean set up the proper file system for install?

Thanks ;)

[atar-axis]

Ah,... that's a misunderstanding :D It is not this Kind of configure script - What the config script should do is helping the users to configure the driver by changing the sysfs files - see the Configure section in the README :)

[CodeCanna]

Ok I'm gonna check it out now. Thanks for the pointer :)

[CodeCanna]

Hey, would you rather have a cli menu, or cli args?

[atar-axis]

Hey there, i would definitely prefer a shell script :) Just as the Install/Update/Uninstall scripts. :)

[CodeCanna]

I know you want a shell script, I'm wondering if you want args to be passed to it, or for the user to choose options as the script runs.

Example:

Do you want to enable xyz? (Y, N)

or something like

./configure.sh -debug_level xyz -blah

EDIT: I see your example above is ./configure.sh --combined_z_axis=true which I didn't see before so it looks like you were thinking arguments. Cool I'm just wondering :)

[atar-axis]

Ah sorry! I would then prefer Arguments to be passed, in case someone wants to automate it - but it's up to you! :)

[CodeCanna]

Hi! I think I almost have a working script, I just don't know how to parse the arguments from Fake Dev Version parameter. It says the value ranges from 0 to 0xFFFF. I don't know how to handle that value.

[CodeCanna]

It's ready for review!! 😄

[atar-axis]

Hey :) Just Open a "pull request", then we can discuss it or merge it directly
