Script written to modify the Luxafor USB LED indicator via command line using python.

Any and all improvements welcome and appreciated.

Credit to gist by dave-irvine for pyusb code.

Requirements

Linux

1. Luxafor LED Indicator
2. Python 2.7+
3. PyUSB

Windows

1. Luxafor LED Indicator
2. Luxafor Software
3. Python 2.7+
4. PyWinUSB (installable via pip)

Confirmed Working Operating Systems

• Windows 10
• Ubuntu 15.10

Known/Possible Issues

Linux

• Sometimes first run doesn't work, have to run command a second time

Windows

• Seems the Luxafor app has to be at least running in the tray for commands to persist
• Opening the Luxafor app switches the color to Green/Red (depeding on last used?)
• Seems that it doesn't always return to the exact same state it was in before a strobe or pattern is ran

Parameters

-l = LED - 1-6 for specific LED, 65 for front, 66 for back, 0 for all, 255 for all one color
-r = RED value (0-255)
-g = GREEN value (0-255)
-b = BLUE value (0-255)
-s = Speed value - Determines speed of strobe or fade (0-255)
-t = Repeat value - Determines the frequency of strobe or wave (0-255)
-w = Wave value - 5 Different Patterns available (1-5)
-p = Built In Patterns - 8 built in patterns -x = Hex color value - ("#RRGGBB")
