Zone scanner never finished a single zone

JustCryen commented 3 years ago

1. Expected behavior.

After running sudo alienfx -z and testing for newer controller - Testing zones... Testing zone "0x0001" I'd assume it's supposed to move on, ask me "is anything blinking now? (y/n):" and try the next one.

2. Actual behavior.

Zone scanner hangs on - Testing zones... Testing zone "0x0001" After ctrl+c i'm asked "is anything blinking now? (y/n):" Then moves on. I assume it doesn't really work that way.

3. Steps to reproduce the problem.

sudo alienfx -z would you like to test a newer controller? y done

4. Specifications

Project Version: 2.3.4
Python Version: 3.8.6
Operating System: Arch
Hardware Version: M15 R1
Installation method: aur / git release and sudo python install

5. My situation

I know M15R1 is not supported, I'm trying to bring support for it and maybe a few other models too.

In zonescanner.py I increased maxzone (I've heard that some newer models used some way larger zone addresses)

I also changed the way the zones are incremented.

My main issue is I can't rely on zonescanner to show me which zone is in fact tested. I think it just hangs until I interrupt which is clearly not how it's supposed to work.

I don't really know any other way of finding out the correct zone addresses so any help on that would be appreciated as well.

Can confirm this same behavior in "Dell G5 SE 5505". Arch Linux OS.

Same Issue on Dell G7 7700 Manjaro 20.2games

Same issue on Alienware m17R3. I did a little more digging and I found that it is stuck waiting for the controller to get ready. ie, alienfx/core/controller.py -> _wait_controller_ready function. It sends the packet - "BAD PACKET: [2, 6, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]" and gets the response "GET_STATUS" (when passed through self.pkt_to_string(resp)). Actual response is "array('B', [2, 6, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0])"

I have am experiencing the same with a Dell G7 7500. I'd like to contribute a config. I get Found device "0x187c / 0x0550"

I see the print statements in zonescanner.py I think its stuck in "scanzone" try statement since I dont see the "Error while testing current zone... " or "Is anything blinking now?" until I ctrl+c

AadityaPatanjali 's reference is called by this?

Same here M15 R5 Ryzen 5900 HX - I could not stand win more than 3 days. Output:
