Designed to be installed inside a PC case as\nan alternative or addition to motherboard headers.\n\nIt implements the \"Lighting and Illumination\" (`0x59`) HID usage page, making\nit fully compatible with the [Dynamic Lighting][] feature in Windows 11.\n\nIt also implements the \"Sensors\" (`0x20`) HID usage page (for a temperature\nsensor) and a vendor (`0xFF00`) HID usage page for custom controls.\n\nNote this does *not* support 3-pin addressable RGB LEDs, but uses the\nsemi-standard 4-pin 12V-G-R-B connector, where all devices connected to a\nchannel show the same color.\n\n![The assembled pico-12vrgb-hid-controller PCB](/img/pcb.jpg)\n\n![The assembled PCB installed in the 3D-printed case](/img/case.jpg)\n\n[Dynamic Lighting]: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/control-your-dynamic-lighting-devices-in-windows-8e8f22e3-e820-476c-8f9d-9ffc7b6ffcd2\n\n## Animations\n\nWhen running in autonomous mode, the controller implements configurable\nanimations. Use the CLI to set the parameters or save an animation as the\ndefault for a channel.\n\n### Breathe\n\nFades a single color on and off. The fade on time, on time, fade off time, and\noff time are all configurable.\n\nhttps://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1745813/233868169-5f5d1403-0b08-4b99-b51f-30fe5f666057.mp4\n\n### Fade\n\nFades between up to 8 different colors. The fade time and hold time are\nconfigurable.\n\nhttps://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1745813/233868393-662b7a13-106e-483d-9052-4a47977f7780.mp4\n\n## Project Structure\n\nThis project is split into three parts:\n\n* `hw/` contains schematics and PCB files (KiCAD)\n* `fw/` contains device firmware (C)\n* `cli/` contains the command-line control program (Rust)\n\nSee each directory for more details.\n\n## Limitations\n\nThe hardware is only tested on Windows 11, using both the Dynamic Lighting\nfeature and the included CLI. The CLI does not support other platforms yet. \n\n## License\n\nMIT\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbluekeyes%2Fpico-12vrgb-hid-controller","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fbluekeyes%2Fpico-12vrgb-hid-controller","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbluekeyes%2Fpico-12vrgb-hid-controller/lists"}
