New update guys!

Btw, I did a "silent" update of this package on accident to 0.2.0 on Feb 20, but I forgot to update the SRCINFO. Now that's fixed!

Enjoy.

@r3d0c A bit late to the party, but I'll get it updated in a few days.

Hey man can you help me out, I'm kind of new to arch to idk what I'm doing. I have installed this package, restarted, then ran the calibration commands from the original github repo guide. However, the health doesn't work despite disabling calibration mode after calibrating and running the health mode command. cat /sys/bus/wmi/drivers/acer-wmi-battery/health_mode returns 1. Also the insmod commands don't work it just says unrecognized.

Just seeing this now @FosRex. I will see what I can do on this one. Appreciate the suggestion

Oh, nevermind about my previous comment. I have now read the DKMS package guidelines. But a new note to newcomers about installing their respective headers might be helpful. Thanks for the package :).

I think the linux-headers should be a dependency(I am not sure if it is a required dependency or a make dependency but), without it their are these errors:
