Known issues

breakingIn v1.6, module name changed from 'g13' to 'g13_linux'. All imports must be updated.

fix

Use 'from g13_linux import G13' instead of 'import g13'

affects: >=1.6

deprecatedThe 'g13_linux.keys.KeyNames' class is deprecated in favor of 'g13_linux.keys.Key' in v1.7.

fix

Use 'from g13_linux.keys import Key'

affects: 1.7.x

gotchaYou must run the script with root privileges (e.g., sudo) or set up udev rules, otherwise USB access fails with 'Permission denied'.

Run with sudo or add a udev rule: SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="046d", ATTRS{idProduct}=="c299", MODE="0660", GROUP="plugdev"

affects: all

gotchaDisconnect properly using g13.disconnect() to release USB device; otherwise, subsequent connections may fail until device is re-plugged.
