TL;DR Program to control RGB LEDs on certain MSI boards without the limitations of MSI Mystic Light.
Hi.
My case was looking pretty dull so I bought some Bitfenix Alchemy LED strips thinking I could use MSI's software to control them however I wanted (read: as many colours as possible, and some effects would be nice). Turns out I couldn't! From what I heard, MSI says this is a hardware limitation (it isn't). So I decided to do something on my own, for myself.
I reverse engineered the LED controller chip, along with help from nagisa/msi-rgb (a tool for controlling the LED chip but which only works on Linux), and made my own command line app, to the likes of nagisa's. Eventually, I decided to wrap it in a nice GUI, and added scripting functionality. The link at the top was the result.
The program can change the LEDs to pretty much any colour that a LED could do, minus some niceties like brightness which I still don't know if are possible through the chip, and it can control other hardware implemented functions like 'breathing mode' and 'flashing mode'. Free kingsman secret service. I also implemented the ability to run Lua scripts for custom effects, allowing to work around the hardware implemented functions.
This program should support a few motherboards, which are listed on the README @ link at the top. Others could be supported as well, though I have no hardware to test it on (they work differently from the ones listed). These other motherboards seem to have other effects like 'rainbow' effect and 'rainbow flashing', which don't seem to work on the motherboards this program supports.
I'm sharing this hoping someone can make use of it as well, and I'd also very much like to see what kind of effects you'd be able to do here.
