The plugin hardcodes the fan MAC `e8:b5:62:62:32:e1` and RX slot 1 (from `lianli_poc.py scan`).
|
## Using it with SignalRGB
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
SignalRGB has no support for the wireless Lian Li kits. `LianLi_Wireless_SLINF_PoC.js` is a custom
|
||||||
|
plugin that drives one SL-INF wireless fan through the TX dongle.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 1. Pair the fan
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The fan must already be bound to your TX dongle. This is done once in L-Connect 3; after that L-Connect
|
||||||
|
can be uninstalled or must at least stay closed while SignalRGB runs.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 2. Find your fan's address
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Quit SignalRGB first (it holds the TX dongle), then:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
python lianli_poc.py scan
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
TX master 16:e5:90:62:32:dc channel 8 firmware 16
|
||||||
|
RX hears 1 device(s):
|
||||||
|
device e8:b5:62:62:32:e1 SL-INF Wireless x1
|
||||||
|
bound to this TX: yes channel 8 rx slot 1
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Copy the `device` address, the `rx slot` and the fan count (`x1`) into the top of the plugin:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```js
|
||||||
|
const FAN_MAC = [0xe8, 0xb5, 0x62, 0x62, 0x32, 0xe1];
|
||||||
|
const FAN_RX_SLOT = 1;
|
||||||
|
const FAN_COUNT = 1;
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The values in the repo are for the original fan; a different or re-paired fan needs new values.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 3. Install the plugin
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Copy the plugin into SignalRGB's user plugin folder and restart SignalRGB (it only loads plugins at
|
||||||
|
startup):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
cp LianLi_Wireless_SLINF_PoC.js "$USERPROFILE/Documents/WhirlwindFX/Plugins/"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The fan shows up as **Lian Li SL-INF Wireless (PoC)**. Place and resize it on the Layouts page so it
|
||||||
|
sits where the fan is in your case.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 4. Settings
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|
||||||
|
|---|---|---|
|
||||||
|
| Lighting Mode | Canvas | `Canvas` follows the active effect, `Forced` shows Forced Color. |
|
||||||
|
| Forced Color | `#009bde` | Colour used in Forced mode. |
|
||||||
|
| Shutdown Color | `#8000ff` | Colour the fan keeps after SignalRGB closes or the PC shuts down. |
|
||||||
|
| Update Interval (ms) | 200 | Minimum time between uploads to the fan (100–2000). |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Limitations
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Every colour change is a full compressed upload over the 2.4 GHz link, so the fan updates a few
|
||||||
|
times per second at most. Static colours and slow effects look fine; fast and audio effects step.
|
||||||
|
- Frames are only sent when the colours actually change.
|
||||||
|
- The 44 LEDs per fan are mapped as three rings (centre 8, inner 10, outer 8), mirrored on both
|
||||||
|
sides of the fan.
|
||||||
|
- One fan group only, at the address set in the plugin. There is no discovery: a SignalRGB plugin can
|
||||||
|
open only one USB device, and fan discovery needs the RX dongle.
|
||||||
|
- While SignalRGB runs, `lianli_poc.py` and `test/js_tuz_on_fan.py` can't open the TX dongle.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Troubleshooting
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **Fan not listed:** check SignalRGB's log in `%LOCALAPPDATA%\WhirlwindFX\SignalRgb\Logs` for
|
||||||
|
`Custom Plugin File Loaded` and for errors from the `0416:8040` engine thread.
|
||||||
|
- **Listed but the fan doesn't change:** run `python test/watch_rx.py 10` while SignalRGB runs. A
|
||||||
|
new effect id appearing every second or so means uploads are reaching the fan. If the id never
|
||||||
|
changes, the address in the plugin is probably wrong or L-Connect has the dongle.
|
||||||
|
- **Back to normal:** delete the plugin from `Documents\WhirlwindFX\Plugins` and restart SignalRGB.
|
||||||
|
The fan keeps the Shutdown Color until something else sets it.
