# sk700v-linux: a Linux display client for the Sudokoo SK700V

> sk700v-linux drives the Sudokoo SK700V cooler LCD from Linux using its observed USB HID protocol. The write-up maps 64-byte output reports, command payloads and sensor fields from vendor-app traffic and trial frames; a Python daemon sends CPU readings and a probe script sends manual frames.
