15R3 Support #30

Closed akxer closed 3 years ago

akxer commented 6 years ago

Tried to run it on my alienware 15 R3, the first error I got was ImportError: No module named builtins which I fixed by running sudo pip install future

Now it's running but, the theme is not applying(gets stuck at Applying theme).

I have the same error also

I have added "pip install future" to the install process which fixes the Import Error. As far as getting stuck at "Applying Theme", are you still having the issue since you've reinstalled Alienfx and rebooted?

I also have the same error. It's getting stuck during "Applying Theme".

This is the log when trying to apply via commandline: alienfx --log /tmp/alienfx.log --theme default

same issue here. Won't apply the theme

Seems there are new controllers in some models which are using 8 instead of 4 bit per color.

i'm currently working on support for model 17R4. for that purpose i created a newcmdpacket.py with modified properties for newer alienfx-controllers. it is still under development, but you might have a look at my fork: https://github.com/derco0n/alienfx

I have a 15R3 and this works great out of the box. Not sure if this issue is relevant anymore.

My setup:
