13R3 - Error using GUI/cml - [Errno 75] Overflow ; [Errno 32] Pipe error ; about alienfx HOT 8 CLOSED

Hi,

I actually have the same bug with my 13R3 =]

from alienfx.

same issue

from alienfx.

Hi guys, I have found a fix. Although its more of a compromise than a fix. If you set all the lights to off in windows and save this as the active profile, the keyboard lighting settings are retained in Ubuntu.

may be its the same as in the 17R4. the controller build in there need 8 bits per color instead of 4 so the messages are getting longer resulting in 12 instead of 9 bytes...

from alienfx.

Yes, we need 8-bits per pixel and 12-byte length messages. I have made a very quick fork that will work on the AW13R3, but will, obviously, break on older models. Feel free to try for now, but it will require a cleaner solution for integration upstream.

i'm currently working on support for model 17R4. for that purpose i created a newcmdpacket.py with modified properties for newer alienfx-controllers. it is still under development, but you might have a look at my fork: https://github.com/derco0n/alienfx

@ssteinberg @lorhm @roobytwo @Dutisto
my work for the 17R4 is merged to the master branch.
I bet the 13R3 is using a newer controller as well.
I recommend you to sync the project to your machine and modify your controller_.py in the way the controller_m17r4.py is built.

You may try the zonescanner to find some correct zone codes.

Please let us know if this works.
If you have a working controller-config for your device, please share.
Thank you in advance.

@ssteinberg Thanks a bunch! Your fork worked like a charm.
