PH16-71 DOES NOTHING

[veryfunnyaz]

Well, I have the service up and running and every time I try to apply something it does nothing, I tried to use the GUI to have a more clear view and apparently its saying the payload is being written and the setting applied while they arent. Nothing works. Could you add atleast turbo mode support for this version? We dont need rgb for now but turbo mode would be good so the laptop is atleast usable when doing heavy tasks and doesnt overheat.

its the one that says GUI(wxPython with tray icon): (x211321)

When the GUI states that the payload has been written successfully, we can at least assume that the kernel module is correctly installed and loaded. Otherwise you would get a message that the RGB device is not available.

If you see no change on your keyboard, it probably means that your model is not supported by the kernel model.

I might not be up-to-date on the current state of the kernel module, but as far as I know only 4 zone RGB keyboards are currently supported. Your model appears to have individually addressable RGB keys instead.

Ah thanks, the GUI works, but still no reaction from my keyboard.

Hm, looks like you are right. Haven't double checked because I read that it works here:
#175

Maybe this is what

Implement RGB Dynamic effects (per key RGB)
Implement RGB Static coloring (per key RGB)

from the roadmap means?

thats clearly not the same model. it says PHN16-71 not PH16-71
