Entry for Alienware M15 R6 into device database #125

Closed rodneypantonial closed 2 years ago

rodneypantonial commented 2 years ago

Alienware M15 R6 is currently not supported.

I am currently using it and I'd like to make a pull request for it. Where do I start to code the support for it for other developers to use?

T-Troll commented 2 years ago

m15R6 100% supported, but not fully tested and have no entry into device database. Or do you mean older M15? In this case, only lights supported, not fans/power.

So in the first case, we just need to check and add light mappings into database (and maybe other minor changes). In the second case, you need to commit into AlienFan-SDK (see M13R2 as an example).

PS: My light code is quite universal, but device mappings different from model to model. So even fresh R7 and x15R2 supported, with manual setup.

I mean the m15R6. Yes, I meant the entry into device database. I'd like to add that entry since I have the device :)

T-Troll commented 2 years ago

Great! So you need to manually add lights (both tron and keyboard) - here is wiki page how to do it.

Then save your light mappings (alienfx-gui have a special button for it), and attach it here - or you can add it into device database here.

It will be included into next release.

Hello guys!

First of all, thank you @T-Troll for this great software :)

@rodneypantonial, I also own this notebook. I was able to probe all lights, except the power button. Here's my exported CSV (power button does not work):

Alienware M15 R6.csv

Device 01 has 135 lights, I could not figure if one of them is the power button...

Have you found the power button entry?

Thanks!

T-Troll commented 2 years ago

Thank you, But CSV is not correct, it's for 4 zones, not per-key. Can you please provide full one for share (as well as name devices correctly)?

The power button should be around Tron device, but it can be tricky to see - it blinks on test, not change color.

T-Troll commented 2 years ago

4-zone model added to device database at release #156 (both lights and gird data). Per-key model share same tron lights, but need other keyboard map.

Working great! Thanks!
