Custom ARGB/Lighting choreographing

HarmlessLlama · November 8, 2019

If I use all ARGB fans/led strips through a splitter, can I program my own lighting sequence to choreograph a light show? I dont want each device doing the same thing. I understand these are all thermaltake devices in the video.

Second, which software would allow for this? Everyone is all about the presets and no one shows how to do custom lighting patterns.

Im trying to choreograph lighting like the end of this video.

For ARGB you cannot run multiple LED strips or devices using a splitter if you want individual control but you can daisy chain them. There is a limit to how many you can daisy chain and having more channels will allow for completely independent control of each chain of lights. For that video you would be using Thermal take's ecosystem for controlling and programming each individual LED and pattern. Others such as Corsair's or Asus's built in one for their motherboards would achieve similar results.

i dont think you can do custom with asus. maybe there controller you can but the software for mb i dont think you can. thermaltake is vary basic like can color each led thats about it. corsair has the best options on making yout own light but it might not be what youir looking for. i dont no about nzxt and what you can do with that.

there are controllers for like rooms and stuff that can have many many more pre modes. as for diy your looking at codeing with Arduino. or some dmx light show stuff.

there's also aquacomputer but i don't no what pre sets or stuff they use as well... i do no corair and nzxt work with aquacomputer. and you can do both argb and rgb at a cost that is.

so in that video i gos like this. say there are 6 channels. one effect for to channel 1 thow all the leds then in to channel 2 and so on. there a data in and an data out so there daissady chained to make one long strip. but there will be a limit on how many leds the software will control. there are ways around that if you give up some of the abilaty to controll each channel. like you can clone say channel 1 so when the effect statrs it will start in channel one but you have 2 things hooked up to that channel they both will be identical. i no hard for me to explane. you also could rin in to problems with power and how much your drwaing from the controlelr but if you can do sodering you can get around that. you just need that data in data out and ground and can pull power from your psu.

i have no idea the pin out for thermaltake and i tryed looking it up and didn't find a clear answer. i do have the pin out for corsair thow.
