1. Installation & Configuration
Make sure you have connected USB cable to your cooler.
Do NOT connect RGB Header cable or the cooler will go bananas.
Mixing those two together is not supported by cm-rgb and probably by the cooler itself.
You can verify that your cooler is available by running:
lsusb | grep 2516:0051
You should get something like this:
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 2516:0051 Cooler Master Co., Ltd.
We need to install dependencies for cython-hidapi(https://github.com/trezor/cython-hidapi)
before we proceed to install cm-rgb.
sudo apt-get install python-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libudev-dev
sudo pacman -S libusb hidapi
NOTE: If you experience problems with hidapi you may also try package from the AUR which should satisfy the dependency.
pacaur -S python-hidapi
You might want to see available ebuild: https://github.com/gfduszynski/cm-rgb/issues/12
It's possible you already have what is necessary to install cm-rgb pip package so give it a try. If you have any problems regarding hidapi installation check cython-hidapi, your issue may already have a solution there.
If you still have a problem please create an issue :)
Stick with the pip if you don't have a good reason to install from git.
This is pretty straight forward.
pip install cm-rgb
git clone https://github.com/gfduszynski/cm-rgb.git
cd cm-rgb
pip install .
Script must have access to USB device to function properly. It would be wise not to run this as root.
Run following to add udev rule :
cm-rgb-cli add-udev-rule
It may be required to reload udev for changes to take effect.
Now you should be able to run cm-rgb-cli without sudo.
See wiki page for tips on how to use the cli & monitor. (TODO)
