Roccat-Talk

Allows LED illumination configuration on Roccat TalkFX enabled devices

##Installing

Install-Package Roccat-Talk

ROCCAT™ TALK® FX needs to be installed and running

Controlling generic TalkFX enabled devices

The LED illumination settings (color, effects) on any TalkFX enabled device can be controlled via the following construct

using (var connection = new TalkFxConnection())
{
	connection.SetLedRgb(Zone.Event, KeyEffect.Blinking, Speed.Normal, new Color(255, 105, 180));
	connection.RestoreLedRgb();
}

It is important to call RestoreLedRgb when you're finished controlling the device, so that the user-configured defaults can be restored. Otherwise your settings will remain applied even after your application has terminated.

Controlling the Ryos keyboard

The LED illumination settings (ON/OFF) on the Ryos keyboard can be controlled via the following construct

using (var connection = new RyosTalkFXConnection())
{
	connection.Initialize();
	connection.EnterSdkMode();
	
	var keyboardState = new KeyboardState();
    keyboardState.AllLedsOn();
    connection.SetWholeKeyboardState(keyboardState);
	
	connection.ExitSdkMode()
}

The Ryos keyboard allows for fine grained control over each LED and therefore has a more specific set of API methods. It is important to call ExitSdkMode when you're finished controlling the device, so that the user-configured defaults can be restored. Otherwise your settings will remain applied even after your application has terminated.

##Credits The control of the keyboard is made by communicating with the ROCCAT™ TALK® FX and using the ROCCAT™ TALK® FX SDK.

Since the SDK comprises of an unmanaged C++ class that cannot be used directly in .NET, a wrapper was needed, talkfx-c-wrapper was used.

##Remarks Upon installing the nuget package, a directory labeled CroccatTalkWrapper will be added your solution. This will contain the aforementioned wrapper, which is expected to be present in the output directory.

##Contribute Pull requests are welcomed. The code is tested using the Ryos ISKU FX keyboard, and could use some realworld testing on a Ryos keyboard.
