Keyboard Not Charging PPP

[ragreenburg]

My keyboard case itself won't charge.

Clone the utilities package, install php and run `make`. It should hopefully build the package. From there go into the `build` directory and run

Code:

sudo ./ppkb-i2c-charger-ctl info

That will give you the battery level of the keyboard case itself. Whatever is reported by gnome-control-center is almost certainly wrong. The FAQ will help as well. My case wasn't charging my Pro but I was still able to type with it and read the battery level with the method described above.

Have you tried to increase the Power the Keyboard can provide in OS level?

echo 1500000 > /sys/class/power_supply/rk818-usb/input_current_limit

Default is 500mA and often not enough to charge a running phone.

I've seen this posted a few places, including the FAQ, but every time I try that it doesn't work. I have to use nano to change the values.
