We've figured out how to properly identify #Corsair RGB DRAM types! There is an identification packet that can be requested from the RGB controller on each DRAM module containing a VID/PID identifier, firmware version, and protocol version. There's an open merge request to test these changes. It successfully detected my Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 and Vengeance RGB DDR5. Would be great to get more testers!

#OpenRGB's Lemmy community has moved! The new home is https://lemmy.today/c/OpenRGB! Formerly we were on lemmy.ml, but that instance has slowly been drifting away from the general purpose instance hosted by the Lemmy devs to one of some rather extremist viewpoints. I've been on lemmy.today for a year or so and have found it a pretty solid instance, plus they have the old Reddit style mlmym interface at https://lemmy.today/c/OpenRGB!

In reaction to the impending invasion of privacy #Discord wishes to force upon all of its userbase, along with a desire to use open source and community-run platforms over proprietary, VC-backed platforms, I have created an #OpenRGB guild on #Spacebar. If you don't know, Spacebar is an open source, self-hostable Discord alternative. Their intention is to replicate Discord's API and user experience.

Hotplug support has been merged into the #OpenRGB next branch. This is still quite experimental and subject to change, but I've created AUR packages openrgb-next-git and openrgb-plugin-effects-next-git for anyone who wants to live on the edge and test out the new functionality. This new package depends on hidapi-hotplug-git which is another new package for our hidapi fork with the hotplug patches. The GitLab CI for the next branch has Windows, AppImage, Debian, Fedora, and MacOS builds.

More big changes are in the works for #OpenRGB 1.0! Over the holiday break I prototyped support for per-zone modes. This allows independent hardware effects to be set for each zone on supported devices and has been a long-requested feature. The SDK protocol and profile manager have received upgrades to support per-zone modes. This is the latest in the growing set of major changes brewing in the `next` branch!

Working on an overhaul to the #OpenRGB Profile Manager for API v5/SDK v6 for OpenRGB 1.0. Profiles will now be saved in .json format and plugins will be able to embed their own profile-specific settings into OpenRGB profiles. No more having a separate profile system just for the Effects plugin! Now you can seamlessly switch between profiles using hardware effects and profiles using the Effects plugin. This work is being done on the next branch and is not yet ready to be merged into master.

Updated https://openrgb.org links to point there, 1.0rc2 is officially live!

Unfortunately, it seems #GitLab Pages only allows 1GB of artifacts, which means we can't host downloads on https://openrgb.org anymore, and GitLab doesn't allow uploading releases alongside the release tags.

I've been wanting to migrate to #Codeberg for a while now and have been mirroring #OpenRGB there for a year or so, but now I'm going to also post all the historical releases along with 1.0rc2 there as I can upload the binaries alongside the release tags!

#Introduction time I suppose, new account on a new instance.

This is the official Mastodon account for the OpenRGB project (https://openrgb.org), an open source application for controlling RGB lighting on Linux, Windows, and MacOS. The project's goal is to unify all RGB lighting controls into one lightweight app instead of a giant mess of vendor apps.
