[Solved] Idea of a mod to have side LEDs nicer to the eyes' health

Edit: are you sure you can light them green through software? Some “LEDs” (actually, “LED groups”, combined to give e.g. white) have limited available colors.

Yeah! In fact quite a few people have changed the side led colors and it’s one of the simpler things to do in the EC if I remember correctly!
Be warned though, the EC is a bit tricky to deal with!!

Here are some threads related to this:

Framework Embedded Controller GUI I Made

I posted a screenshot of this on the subreddit a few days ago, and now have something on github ready for testing and feedback. I do not own the framework laptop yet, so I would appreciate some testing. It should support both windows and linux. Here is the link: GitHub - boredom101/fw-ec-gui: GUI for the Framework's Embedded Controller Here is a screenshot: [window] If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Exploring the Embedded Controller

Hey all! For the past week, I’ve been exploring the embedded controller on our awesome laptops, and I’d like to share some of my findings. This is going to be somewhat structured and somewhat stream-of-consciousness, so bear with me. Most of the same findings are written up on my website at The Framework Laptop's Embedded Controller (EC) :: HowettNET. Rationale @nrp mentioned here that the EC firmware is based on chromium-ec, and it seemed like it would be a fun challenge to reverse…

@Mapleleaf

As for the dimness, it probably depends on each person’s sensitivity but… well, by my standards those LEDs are way too bright.

You need to see my living room, there is electric tape everywhere

Hahaha sorry, I overreacted a bit and didn’t take that into account!
