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.

Here is a page I created on my website with instructions for OpenRGB setup. It also has instructions for re-programming the modules with my OpenRGB compatible firmware.

I’ll be adding documentation soon with easier to understand pinouts and instructions for flashing CircuitPython. But, the instructions for flashing CircuitPython are the same as any RP2040 microcontroller. Except, you’ll still need to use the BOOTSEL switch on the back of the module to get into the UF2 bootloader.

@Joseph_Schroedl hmm…looking at your start instructions, you use Adalight protocol to control over the USB-Serial bridge? So looks like GitHub - adafruit/Adalight is the base code, and I can fully figure out the protocol specs (don’t see any listed anywhere else) from Adalight/Processing/Colorswirl/Colorswirl.pde at master · adafruit/Adalight · GitHub in order to figure out how to send via my language/library of choice? Since I feel like I want to automate things, and don’t want to run OpenRGB always.

Based on my looking at your repo, GitHub - corndog2000/RGB-LED-Matrix-Input-Module is the PCB/hardware side of things, but is GitHub - corndog2000/RGB-LED-Matrix-Rust the firmware side of things? Or is that somewhere else? Mostly just curious to see what you have on the firmware side.

EDIT: Hm, looks more like adalight-multi-strip/adalight-multi-strip.ino at main · corndog2000/adalight-multi-strip · GitHub is the firmware code?

The code is this repository. It’s listed on step 8 on the instructions page.

Thanks. I must have missed seeing that.

But am I correct on the Adalight protocol, where I can go to get that info?

Yes, it does use the Adafruit Adalight protocol. You can see in this Adafruit repository how they interact with the hardware using a Processing program.
