Profile/Settings File, Direct Edit with Text Editor? #24

Closed jakedowns closed 6 years ago

jakedowns commented 6 years ago

is it possible to edit a custom Profile directly with a hex/text editor? rather than using the GUI?

the GUI is great, but for some complex color schemes, i was hoping to be able to copy/paste my 40 colors instead of clicking through them all by hand,

or maybe even writing my own little custom scripts and/or spreadsheet functions to generate a list of colors i'd like to use for a profile.

I noticed that the profiles are saved using settings = QSettings('kusti8', 'hue_plus') but i couldn't find any matching files for that on disk (Windows)

Thanks for a great tool, btw, glad to be able to ditch CAM

how did you even begin to decipher / reverse engineer the Serial communications for this thing? bet it would be a great kind of thing to cover in a youtube video.

It looks like it's stored in the registry under local machine/software or current_user/software. I'm going to try and rewrite the project in go and try and add some ideas, but that may take a while.

Awesome, thanks.

I'll go ahead and close this for now then.

Maybe I can look into call out to the CLI interface directly and using a temp file-format for generating/saving my own custom animation schemes for now.

Still would love to hear more behind how you figured out the protocol if you ever get the time

I'm planning on making it a Json file that's easier to read and access. I figured out the protocol by using a serial analyzer, and a lot of trial and error.
