I think the options here are to fiddle with the layout.ini (so far that hasn't worked) or request Gigabyte to add support via the SDK. I'm not familiar enough with how they do low-level configuration (I've been unable to find documentation on it) to manually support motherboards the Gigabyte doesn't already support.

With that said, there may be a possibility that GvLedLib could allow some configuration of the motherboard (I've seen it appear as an undocumented peripheral type on my system). If you run with the exe in the zip in issue #38 do you get any peripherals listed before the exception?

no luck

I really hope someone figures this out. RGB Fusion is pure garbage.

I have this board and when using release v0.9.3 I get a
RGBFusionTool.exe : Open driver handle failure!! in MapMem_Phys_To_Linear

[tylerszabo]

@zybeon I think that's a slightly different issue; but even after that's resolved I'd suggest reaching out to Gigabyte and asking about SDK support for your motherboard.

[zybeon]

In the newest SDK there is an entry in the layout file for a Z390 board but doesn't fully list the board name. So I am not 100% that it matches to our motherboard. Though I can use the legacy RGBFusion app as well as the newer RGBFusion 2.0 app to control the LEDs.

I wrote to Gigabyte support regarding this issue and I got some (disappointing) info, thought I should share here:

According to the information we have from SDK team, support of SDK on the Z390 models are not planned.

Curses; well, if anyone comes across a project that lets you talk more directly to the controller (and avoids a dependency on Gigabyte's SDK) I'm very interested in retargeting it.

I am working on a proof of concept for, at least, 390 motherboards (Tested just with Aorus Master). of a tool to change leds color in a 390 motherboard. (Very basic code).

At this moment, i can change the color of all zones on the motherboard (Aorus Master) and vga (Aorus 2080). (no individual zone control so far, but working on it). (Im using it with Aurora Project to Sync some Magic Home strips and Logitech peripherals

)

I am not using RGB Fusion SDK, instead, i am using some public methods of the rgb fusion dlls (SelLEDControl.dll and LedLib2.dll. Both of them in RGBFusion folder

) and some very basic reflection to avoid a nasty save_to_flash command every time a color has changed.

Will spend some time this weekend to figureout how to make individual zones works.

Here is the source code and a simple NET command line tool to set colors on, at least, motherboard and VGA (just excluded RAM, and other Aorus peripherals for performance reasons).

RGBFusionSetColor.zip

PD: The .exe needs to be in RGBFusion Folder and run as admin.
PD2: Just still mode working so far.
PD3: The good news are we can have full control over leds (even more control than RGBFusion). The bad news is this job will be obscure trial and error.

Sorry my english.

That's really interesting!
