@Palid

Let's just agree that SDK sucks and try different methods. :P

Adam Hellberg

@Sharparam

you could probably start making your own stuff to read USB data, but then you're reverse engineering and breaking rules and shit

Adrian

@WolfspiritM

You could query the USB somehow

Dariusz Niemczyk

@Palid

tbh if Razer would start doing something against 'illegal rev-eng' in this case they would lose a lot of fanbase.

Adrian

@WolfspiritM

Even having the model...I think using InputLanguage.CurrentInputLanguage as an ugly workaround would be easier instead somehow mapping model/guid to region to key

Dariusz Niemczyk

@Palid

but yeah, let's not go into this discussion. :D

@WolfspiritM There's a problem with ugly workarounds: they are ugly and always do a problem in edge cases.

and here the edge case isn't even so edge-like.

Adrian

@WolfspiritM

Querying the USB for a model number is nothing more then a ugly workaround, too...

Dariusz Niemczyk

@Palid

True, but a bit more bulletproof.

Adam Hellberg

@Sharparam

@/all Whoever had issues with exceptions from UnInit can you try using feature/uninit-improvement and see if that fixes the issue?

Adrian

@WolfspiritM

@Palid I don't really see where it would be much more bulletproof. It won't fix multiple keyboards with different layouts nor remapped keys. But you can sure try querying USB :-)

@Sharparam I will try it later. Thanks!

Adam Hellberg

@Sharparam

@WolfspiritM also if you find issues with it please comment about them here: CoraleStudios/Colore#108

Adrian

@WolfspiritM

@Sharparam alright

Dariusz Niemczyk

@Palid

@WolfspiritM will do if I have some time this weekend

got so many tickets that I'll have to work overtime on the weekend :(

@Aurous

http://puu.sh/lbUCg/8369254593.png

ok so i have my code above

and it keeps giving me this throw exception

http://puu.sh/lbUEq/4a7cc2e490.png

any ideas on a work around or what i did wrong?

Nico

@njbmartin

That means that the ChromaSDK hasn't been enabled

Ryan Hill

@Aurous

yep... i thought i had enabled it.. i guess in the updates or something on my computer i needed to reenable it...

Nico

@njbmartin

In synapse, go to any chroma device and you'll see a Chroma Apps menu item. make sure "Chroma Apps" is enabled

yeah, the latest update to synapse adding this functionality made it disabled by default

certainly caught me out

Ryan Hill

@Aurous

I just used the reg file to enable, and the codes magically working, of course

Adam Hellberg

@Sharparam

reg files aren't used anymore since the release of the SDK

and integration in synapse

Nico

@njbmartin

yeah, that wasn't made clear to the dev community when synapse updated ;)

Ryan Hill

@Aurous

Do you even need to close synapse now? Or can you just leave it open?

Adam Hellberg

@Sharparam

i think there can still be issues with advanced profiles, but maybe they fixed that too

Ryan Hill

@Aurous

Ah, that's good

Nico

@njbmartin

not yet, the current public SDK version still has an issue with profiles overlapping

Ryan Hill

@Aurous

How would I use RGB with corale.colore.core.color?

Adam Hellberg

@Sharparam

var color = new Color(r, g, b);

@brandonscott said there's an issue with one of the constructors but i don't think it's the byte one. he has yet to tell me which one has issues though

Ryan Hill

@Aurous

Thank you

Nico

@njbmartin

oh i remember @brandonscott saying there was an issue with one of them having the R and B swapped

Adam Hellberg

@Sharparam

@njbmartin CoraleStudios/Colore#92

Ryan Hill

@Aurous

So why isn't the color codes set up to read in int instead of byte?

Adam Hellberg

@Sharparam

@Aurous RGB values are 0-255, same range as a byte. this is also how they are constructed internally in the sdk (or via the int constructor on Color, taking a 32bit integer in the format of 0xAARRGGBB)

0xAABBGGRR*

Ryan Hill

@Aurous

Yea I figured that so that you can't send a 1000 int into the variable that wouldn't accept it.

var inttobyte = (byte)intvalue;

Ryan Hill

@Aurous

How could you use Corale.Colore.Razer.DeviceInfo to see what devices or device is plugged in?

Ryan Hill

@Aurous

https://github.com/Aurous/Razer-Chroma-RGB-Slider Playing around with my deathadder. any thoughts on what i should add to this project?

Adam Hellberg

@Sharparam

@Aurous Using bytes for RGB values is nothing new, both System.Drawing.Color and System.Windows.Media.Color have FromArgb methods that take bytes

@Aurous Querying devices can be done with IChroma.Query, passing in the GUID of the device you want information about (found in the Devices class)
