v1.0.0

First public release: drive the iBUYPOWER AW5/AW5D AIO cooler's round LCD natively from Linux — no Windows, no vendor software.

Highlights

  • Dependency-free Python driver (aw5d_lcd.py, stdlib only); auto-detects the HID device and reads k10temp / /proc/stat / cpufreq.
  • Stock CPU gauge over HID report 0x10 (~1 Hz): usage, exact MHz, temperature — validated against HWiNFO and the on-screen numbers. No handshake.
  • systemd user service (linger) + udev rule + installer; configurable update interval (AW5D_INTERVAL).
  • Full clean-room reverse-engineering writeup in RESEARCH.md.

See the README for install + the protocol table. Code and docs authored by Claude (AI) with the author; tested on real hardware. Use at your own risk.
