A follow up to my earlier post about the leds-valve DKMS module, now it is usable within the latest experimental build of OpenRGB itself as long as that leds-valve module is loaded.
Support for the #Valve #SteamMachine under #Linux has been merged into #OpenRGB. This relies on the leds-valve kernel module that is included in the SteamOS kernel. A DKMS package is available to install this kernel module on #Arch and #Debian distros:

or AUR leds-valve-dkms-git
Only as useless as you want it to be, you could, for instance, use it with the hardware sync plugin to display CPU or GPU usage. I should mark it as manually configurable for segments so you can divide it up and use it for both CPU and GPU actually.
I’ve never used any of this and can’t find documentation on the hardware sync plugin, so forgive the maybe dumb question. How far can the configuration realistically go? Let’s say my ideal setup is splitting the 17 LEDs into something like:
6 for CPU usage with red as the active bar marking out 50% to ~100% usage and blue as negative space
1 spacer
3 for temperature going up from blue to red
1 spacer
6 for GPU usage with red as the active bar marking out 50% to ~100% usage and blue as negative space
How close would I be able to get to that?
