Lazy way to select and connect bluetooth audio device

As I got several bluetooth speakers at home, I need to switch between them from time to time.

QMK 2.0 has improved the trackball usuabilty quite a lot but it is still not a joyful experience. Clicking the bluetooth icon to do so is a lot painful to me.

To make my life easier, I use a bash script to do the followings:-

  • detect if bluetooth service has started. if not, start it.
  • provide a list of paired audio device
  • connect to the selected audio device

By making use of desktop profile together with fuzzel, I can quick launch that script with pre-define shortcut key.

Poor man doesn't have 3D printer at home. Just cut an old credit card to replace the original metal plate in expansion port. 

╰► /usr/sbin/iwconfig 2>/dev/null | grep -E "wlan|Signal|Quality"


wlan0     IEEE 802.11  ESSID:"IWillBe5"  
          Link Quality=70/70  Signal level=-37 dBm

With that tiny external antenna, both wifi and bluetooth are improved quite a lot.

Minor Antenna Boost

Noted that many of you are using 3rd party external antenna to improve the wifi signal. I just prefer to keep my uconsole look more orginal.

Best way to install i3wm with uConsole/CM5 lite

Received my uConsole a few days ago. I tried both the OS image for CM5 with and without labwc. So far so good. Just that the trackball is really hard to use.

I would like to install i3wm in order to avoid using trackball as possible. Wondering which OS image is the best base image for doing so.
