LEDs not working with Asus Motherboard

[joaocaparroz]

Expected Behaviour

The app should control the LEDs from my ASUS Motherboard.

Actual Behaviour

The LEDs are not being controlled and "Asus" at Configs/Device Manager is not started. Nothing happens when i click "start".

Reproduction steps

Just opened the app, configured my prefered mouse and keyboard (G502/G910).

Frequency

Every time.

Aurora Version:

v0.8.0-rc1

Previously an Issue?

No.

@joaocaparroz Asus motherboards are sort of supported. The technical part is there (Settings->Devices & Wrappers->Asus Tab->Configure Peripheral Devices, image 1 below) allowing you to bind LEDs to key tags, but the layout UI doesn't natively support it yet (ie: no layout for mobo). I created my own feature JSON file (in Aurora\kb_layouts\Extra Features) that bound new "keys" representing LEDs on the mobo (see image 2) to Aurora key tags for the mobo and then added it to my keyboards layout (in Aurora\kb_layouts).

This happens when I try to do what you say: I have ASUS ARMOURY CRATE installed and I can control mobo leds with ARMOURY CRATE. Aurora worked perfectly until v0.8.0

We removed support for anything other than a specific version of Asus aura because it was causing crashes due to an issue in asus's sdk. I am considering adding an option to bypass any checks and try to initialize regardless, but the earlier behavior couldn't be kept because it made aurora unusable for a lot of people.

@diogotr7 Thanks for the info. Can you tell me what is the version that works with Aurora?

i would also know what would let me use aurora for my mobo aswell (asus) because it just crashes if i try to do anything with the asus tab or enabling it

@superaven https://github.com/superaven How do you manage to see fans, ram etc in your device/peripheral overview as shown in image 2? I'm using an asus mainboard with gskill ram and a rgb fan, but i have to map the lights to a key of my keyboard because it's not shown like it is on your image.

Maybe you can add a more descriptive error message, like "unsupported version of AuraSDK is installed" instead of just not detected. The current message implies there's something wrong with Aurora's ability to find the Aura SDK, suggesting it's a bug, rather than an intentional exclusion.

Are you able to share a copy of that json file? I'd love to put one together for myself. It's a pain to have to map my motherboard RGB to keys on my keyboard.

No. I've stopped using Aurora and that system was reformatted last year.
