Show HN: Make your Framework 12 sound like a creaky door
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 https://github.com/samhenrigold/LidAngleSensor) but for the Framework 12 on Linux, so you can make your hinge sound rusty
- 1bpp 2mo agoIt finally feels premium. This is really funny

- embedding-shape 2mo agoThat'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
- fwipsy 2mo ago> 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.
- arcaege 2mo agoYes I did test that too! It seemed to sound a little nicer this way though, more cartoonish
- plingbang 2mo agoI wonder if the sound could be fully synthesized instead of the current 2.9s recording. That's not an easy task, but perhaps the result would sound more realistic.

- eikenberry 2mo agoAre you running MacOS on your Framework?
- catgirlinspace 2mo agoIt looks like Fedora. Did you visit the wrong link?
- arcaege 2mo agoYep, it's Fedora on KDE
- eikenberry 2mo agoSure did.. I was looking at the link in the body of the post, not the title link. /smh
- jedbrooke 2mo agofrom 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 also: > why > funny I like that :)
- bitwize 2mo agoI'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.
- cadamsdotcom 2mo agoVery cool. Could make it be higher pitch & louder when closed faster :)
- artisinal 2mo agoAwesome. This reminds me of the fun apps we had when the MacBook and iPhone got released.
- thenthenthen 2mo agoOn mac you can (could?) use the ambient light sensor to achieve something similar, proof of concept here (osx < 10.5 haha): https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/then/squeeky-laptop https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/then/squeeky-laptop Demo: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pzJwDs6KRXA&ra=m https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pzJwDs6KRXA&ra=m iirc there is also a imu in some macbooks to detect a fall and park the hdd heads before the crash? Anyway, always happy to see toys like this!
- LoganDark 2mo agoNewer MacBooks have IMUs as well for the movement dots feature (used to help with screen sickness in vehicles)
- KerrickStaley 2mo agoI think someone also made this for MacBooks: https://github.com/samhenrigold/LidAngleSensor https://github.com/samhenrigold/LidAngleSensor
- janrakete 2mo agoIt reminds me of how, back in school, we used to replace the sound that played when Windows shut down with fart sounds.
