More RGB is best RGB.

[HardwareBob]

I had to use corsair iCUE for my Dark Core SE RGB mouse, and I had corsair RAM, so I figured I would standardise on corsair iCUE. 

I've ordered a K70 keyboard, because I wanted a wireless mechanical RGB, but it turns out the Corsair wireless keyboards aren't addressable while on wireless.

I can control the RGB via the streamdeck.
The RGB around the CPU is a strip, because the CPU block didn't have addressable RGB, and that's just not good enough!

I'm using an SP120 kit with three fans, and two Arduinos programmed to pretend to be Corsair Link pros. The additional benefit here is that you can adjust them to address more LEDs than they do normally (normal limit is 60)

I have a secondary power supply under the desk which powers the amp/dac/desk LEDs, as well as various other bits and pieces.

The headphone stand is a cheap one I got off ebay that had crappy metal poles, so I swapped them out for some carbon fibre ones I had lying around. I added the LED ring.

 

The bias lighting on the monitor is run by ambiled, so I wrote a script to copy the LED settings from a device to ambiled, using the API of both. I found that with a 10hz refresh rate, it was stilted, but a 20hz rate was smooth. More than 20hz I think was overflowing the serial connection and I ended up with garbage.

 

upgrades that will happen shortly are Lian Li O11 dynamic which I'll move to with a partial soft tube loop, before buying a distro plate and other bits and pieces to make the hard line loop look amazing. I only recently went custom loop watercooling, after my second Antec AIO failure (replaced under warranty and failed within a few weeks).

https://github.com/owenb321/DirectLight code I based my lightpack.py on - this has bugs and won't work, I should fork it.

nice can i link this to my argb guide?

oh and this is an convertor to go from corsair argb to rgb

By all means. I'm constantly fiddling with it, but aside from some cabling fixups it's pretty good at the moment.

I need to get home assistant going so I can then integrate that back into icue, and have scenarios in home assistant that I can trigger from the stream deck. I also need camera lighting, and it absolutely has to integrate, so I think the easiest and least hacky choice is an Elgato light.

thx ya slowly building my list of helpful rgb stuff add it to the rgb/argb Software: list
