Aquacomputer Farbwerk 360 RGB controller

Driver API and source code available in liquidctl.driver.aquacomputer.

New in 1.11.0.

Initialization

Initialization is currently not required, but is recommended. It outputs the firmware version:

# liquidctl initialize
Aquacomputer Farbwerk 360
├── Firmware version           1022
└── Serial number       16827-56978

The controller automatically sends a status HID report every second as soon as it's connected.

Monitoring

The Farbwerk 360 exposes four physical and sixteen virtual temperature sensors.

# liquidctl status
Aquacomputer Farbwerk 360
├── Sensor 1          24.1  °C
├── Sensor 2          25.7  °C
├── Sensor 3          25.2  °C
├── Sensor 4          25.6  °C
└── Soft. Sensor 1    52.0  °C

Changed in 1.12.0: read virtual temperature sensors as well.

Interaction with Linux hwmon drivers

Aquacomputer devices are supported by the mainline Linux kernel with its aquacomputer_d5next driver, and status data is provided through a standard hwmon sysfs interface.

Liquidctl automatically detects when a kernel driver is bound to the device and, whenever possible, uses it instead of directly accessing the device. Alternatively, direct access to the device can be forced with --direct-access.
