Add support for X51 R1, R2, & R3

Open Tank-Missile opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

I own an Alienware X51 R2, and it would be fantastic if support would be added for this series. If there is anything I can do to help add support, just lead me in the right direction.

Hi, you can add a new controller (you can copy an existing one such as the one in AlienFXM14xR2Controller.java, and try to adapt the mappings, hopefully these different platforms use the same mappings), register its id in LEDController.java, and add it to the switch in AlienFXControllerFactory.java.

How exactly would I go about adapting the mappings if they are not the same, and registering the id?

You can try with AlienFX-LED-tester for your investigation (but it's quite raw and I cannot vouch for it), or attempt to find these mappings on the web. To register the new mappings, you need to create a new controller and modify the files that I listed above. Granted, that's not ideal.
