SensorTap: One command, every sensor your machine has

After seeing people do cool things with sensors, I noticed many don't even know what sensors their laptop might have. So I built this, Sensortap. It's an easy to use CLI tool that uses a collective of APIs to list and find all the sensors that exist on your device.

You can also read sensor output and stream it.

The goal is to make it easier for people to find out about the tiniest, most hidden sensors, like the hinge sensor, and find creative use cases for it, like I did in WinDuo with the webcam, or MacDuo with the hinge sensor. Repo: https://github.com/BaselAshraf81/sensortap
