Packet Captures

Synapse Screenshots

I don't have a windows computer :/

Rename the extension to .pcapng and WireShark should be able to open it.

Thanks, the pcap is fine. Unfortunately Synapse is also just using the "SET EXTENDED CUSTOM FRAME" effects for this device and those aren't really implemented in openrazer yet (as with most other new devices).

Anything I can do differently to get a better pcacp?

Dec 15 '19 18:12 turbos-and-tacos

Unfortunately not. The Razer Synapse 3 software just doesn't give us the information we would like to have.

Dec 16 '19 19:12 z3ntu

Can I help somehow? I have Razer Core X Chroma, too. And I really want to get this working together ;) Also, I have ASUS Card with AURA in it.

Any progress here? Would like to help get support added if possible too. What is the blocker here, and do we understand anything about the protocol for these newer devices?

I have the Razer Core X - Non Chroma edition and can help to gather data

Oct 07 '20 20:10 widget7h15

I have a Core X Chroma and would also love to help with this issue!

Hello, any news?

Dec 24 '21 21:12 jershell

I have the device recognized by the driver. (populating serial numbers and such). Still working on getting it to accept lighting commands.

Please help test #1998 , see https://github.com/openrazer/openrazer/wiki/Building-a-package how to build from source.

Jan 09 '23 21:01 z3ntu

I have a core x chroma and ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS AMD64. i did by this instruction https://github.com/openrazer/openrazer/wiki/Building-a-package

git clone https://github.com/turbos-and-tacos/openrazer.git -b core-x-support
cd openrazer
sudo apt install debhelper dh-python linux-headers-generic python3-setuptools lsb-release dkms # build dependencies
./scripts/build_debs.sh

sudo dpkg -i ./dist/*.deb
