dllexp_GetMaxDivision fails on AX370-Gaming K7 motherboard about rgb-fusion-tool HOT 14 OPEN

Hi Joined GitHub, happy to check anything you want to test.

from rgb-fusion-tool.

Okay tried:

[MBId_101]
;; Test 1
LFType_1=1,1

;; Test 2
LFType_2=1,1

;; Test 3
LFType_3=1,1

;; Test 4
LFType_4=1,1

;; Test 5
LFType_5=1,1

did a --list with no joy, also tried adding test 1-3 in 102 with no luck

Curses. I've pinged Gigabyte with a similar issue but it'd probably help if you reached out on your own behalf as well. If they're listing your board as RGB Fusion compatible on the page that lists the SDK the I'm hoping they'll patch it. It certainly seems like they're advertising it.

Hi I just wanted to share a quick list based on layout.ini and https://www.gigabyte.com/mb/rgb/Product
Basically I tried to work out the gaps between the list of boards in both.

Key:
*=in both lists
-=not in the other list
?=might be a match with the other list
+=confirmed on site search
!=might be a match on site search

Looking at it I am not seeing entries in layout.ini for all of the Z270/H270/B250. Little support for X370/B350. It might be that the earliest form of RGB Fusion is just not compatible with the SDK. I will drop a line to Gigabyte.

Ticket raised

from rgb-fusion-tool.

One thing to keep in mind is that some of these boards may match the same MBId/LFType as an existing entry and just lack a comment that explains it's compatible. So I'm not sure I'd be ready to claim it doesn't support those boards without having someone test it.

from rgb-fusion-tool.

Oh I agree you can see quite a few aren't listed on both sides, might be that they were rebranded at the last moment or a group of boards all share the same basic layout. Anyway lets see if my support ticket does anything.

from rgb-fusion-tool.

Looks like this is the same issue someone mentioned to me that they were having with their MB. IIRC I think he had a x470 Gaming 7. I just recall the Lazy error, which seems unique, compared to the other ones I have seen. Seeing all these different chipsets, and various boards for each socket, I wish they would really consolidate and/or standardize. Even if Gigabyte standardized the RGB zoning, it would be nice.

from rgb-fusion-tool.

The Lazy is a red herring and based on how I wrote the code. I wanted to write the library such that the Gigabyte API would be initialized when the object was instantiated but there are points where I don't want to actually instantiate the object unless you're going to actually make changes to the lights (i.e. don't initialize if the input is going to eventually fail an error check) so I use the Lazy Type.

The actual error to look for inside everything is GLedApiDotNet.Raw.GLedAPIv1_0_0Exception: dll exp_GetMaxDivision returned 0xFFFFFFFF. Unfortunately, the methods return -1 for most errors and give no documented way of getting additional error information out of them which makes them very hard to debug.

You have done great work on this, I wish we would get more support from Gigabyte. If they really want an Aorus community, then they will need foster innovators.

Reply from Gigabyte:

Hello, Our team has confirmed this board doesn't support for RGB Fusion SDK.

:-/

from rgb-fusion-tool.

This is unfortunate :( thanks for following up.

In hopes that this issue is one day fixed I'm going to keep this issue open. If they has open sourced part of their RGB Fusion GUI I'd be able to add support directly. It's too bad because it'd sell their hardware better, too.

from rgb-fusion-tool.

Confirming the same issue on an GA-AB350N-Gaming WIFI motherboard. First I learned that they have removed advertised features from the RGB Fusion software with the recent updates, now I'm learning that the SDK doesn't support my motherboard either. It's pathetic that an Arduino would be the preferred solution at this point.
