Hello @jared_kidd and @Jared_Reabow,
Once I can ship out all current purchases. Then I’ll consider opening up my store page with more stock. But, I will be raising the price from $70. I’m not sure what the higher price will be. But, that is where I stand on selling more modules at the current time.
Fair enough. Certainly looks like those are a lot of work to build. The price has to be worth it for you to continue making them. I get it.
I am still waiting on some hardware before I can finish assembling the LED matrix modules. But, I will be working on getting Adalight firmware working on the modules. That way, it’s easy to use these modules with OpenRGB.
I have a silly question maybe, but I got a macro module currently in my fw16, which will be replaced with your matrices. Question is, how hard would it be to create a usb case for framework input modules? So I could keep using the macros just outside the laptop?
If you want more help with this, I would suggest creating a new thread. But, in short, it really wouldn’t be that difficult, the modules already use usb just in a contact pad based connector, so electrically, not much would be necessary other than having two connectors on a board.
It’s been discussed in various threads, eg Input Module Production test adapter - #3 by Josh_Cook , but no one has made a dedicated thread for that yet. Has the exact pogo connector used by framework been published yet, or would you need to buy and rework Framework ?
Hi all! My 16 is coming this week, and I got it with LED matrices with intent to use them for monitoring, Battery %/RAM %, CPU/GPU %, CPU/GPU temp. I’m wondering if anyone’s already done something like this, and if not, is there any interest in it, because I plan to develop this myself if nothing like it is already around, their APIs and existing tools seem sufficient for this, and if there’s some interest it would be great to either make some PRs or at least a separate repo for the community to use.
Also, it’s a bit unclear to me, are the LED matrices RGB or white only? It would be quite convenient if they were RGB as it would allow for color gradients on the percentages
Edit:
Sorry, just realized that this has effectively nothing to do with the other LED matrices Framework ships with, so that answers my question, though I guess at least I’ll be able to eventually get these and use them for the same purpose
I have some ideas for doing this, I have an intention to do something that will take numeric or macro keypads, or matrix displays. It will be a little while until I get around to it though.
OpenRGB is great. 
That was fast! Now when can I get mine shipped 
Great work, looks so fun!.
Looking pretty great! Can’t wait to get mine.
On no, I’ve been Rickrolled … 
Actually… @Joseph_Schroedl, you should make sure some kind of macro or preset in the control software or something to display that. Not as good for a single one, but I think it can still visually look OK.
I started a separate thread to discuss this:
Small update: Nirav has mailed me the FPC connectors I need to finish assembling the modules. I will be working on those this weekend and will start mailing out units.
@Joseph_Schroedl Is there any way to still get in on purchasing? I see the site has it Out of Stock
Nevermind, i see your earlier reply
