Motherboard RGB control with Chroma?
Hey guys,
Sorry is this post gets a little long winded but I'm having a lot of problems finding answers from anyone, specifically motherboard manufacturers.
A few years ago I made a custom Arduino controlled RGB setup with results I was happy with but it's been a few years and I feel it's time to update this but things have changed a bit since I built mine. Seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTt1dBpbC_g
RGB RAM sticks, motherboards, and video cards are all common place now and all things I want to tap into this go around but yet owning any of the components and just seeing the SDKs for each one, I'm having problems deciding which one I want to tackle. The Chroma SDK I feel is the most developed and best documented and would be the easiest for me to plug into but before I go out and spend a boat load for my next system I want to see if it's even possible to control all these components (RAM, Mobo, aRGB header etc) with my software + Chroma or not.
If I can then I can have Chroma mouse/keyboards etc join in the show which would be awesome and really punch of the effect of everything as a whole.
The only thing I've been able to find is news articles saying MSI partnered in the beginning of 2018 and I have skimmed the MysticLight SDK (just like all the others) but I haven't seen yet where the 2 join up and hand control from one to the other.
I've also seen that ASRock "totally" supports Razer Chroma but I can't find an SDK for ASRock Polychrome.
Essentially whatever SDK I decide to tackle is going to govern my entire build and which manufacturer I'm going to purchase so I'm trying to find answers to these questions now before I purchase and find out I made a harder/poor/completely un-doable choice.
Thanks!
