13R3 Support #16

Closed MrMEEE closed 3 years ago

MrMEEE commented 7 years ago

Hi

I'm trying to add support for Alienware 13 R3...

But after having created the controller and installed the modified version.. I get

ERROR:root:read_packet: [Errno 75] Overflow ERROR:root:write_packet: [Errno 32] Pipe error ERROR:root:read_packet: [Errno 75] Overflow Exception in thread Thread-1: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 801, in __bootstrap_inner self.run() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 754, in run self.target(*self.args, **self.kwargs) File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/alienfx/ui/gtkui/gtkui.py", line 212, in set_theme self.controller.set_theme(self.themefile) File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/alienfx/core/controller.py", line 259, in set_theme self._wait_controller_ready() File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/alienfx/core/controller.py", line 143, in _wait_controller_ready ready = (resp[0] == self.cmd_packet.STATUS_READY) TypeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'getitem__'

when trying to apply a profile from alienfx-gtk...

I guess some of the parameters in the controller is off.. but how do I figure out what to enter???

Regards

Martin

Hi Martin,

I have a couple questions to try and help figure out whats wrong. Did you use sudo to install the app? Also, what version(s) of python do you have installed?

trackmastersteve commented 7 years ago

Can you let me know what modifications you made for the m13r3 as well?

MrMEEE commented 7 years ago

I'll do a PR with the changes I made

MrMEEE commented 7 years ago

and yes, I used sudo

Complete error above

MrMEEE commented 7 years ago

These are the errors with the changes that you committed...

trackmastersteve commented 7 years ago

This project was given to me and I'm still pretty new to python. I'm still in the learning process myself. I'm still in the process of working out those warnings about deprecated parts of gtk.

trackmastersteve commented 7 years ago

I'm also trying to figure out what is causing those errors.

Hi guys, Im facing the same issue. I too have an alienware 13r3 and am unable to find a fix to controlling the keyboard backlighting. Did you manage to fix the issue? Is there another working solution for this requirement?

miquelmassot commented 6 years ago

I can find this information, but I have no clue on how to write it in the driver: Name: Alienhead GroupID: 5 ZoneID: 6, 15

You can compare those zone codes with the ones in: https://github.com/trackmastersteve/alienfx/blob/master/alienfx/core/controller_m13xr3.py
