Feature Description
Support multiple independent RGB channels/zones for complex setups.
Motivation
- Different case zones need different colors
- Multiple RGB strips
- Front vs. back lighting
- Per-fan RGB (if fans have integrated LEDs)
Implementation
Hardware
- Additional GPIO pins for RGB data
- Up to 4-6 independent channels
- Each channel: separate WS2812B chain
Pin Usage
- Channel 1: GPIO 16 (existing)
- Channel 2: GPIO 17
- Channel 3: GPIO 18
- Channel 4: GPIO 19
- etc.
Software Control
Per-Zone:
pico-fan-ctl rgb zone 1 rainbow
pico-fan-ctl rgb zone 2 static --color ff0000
pico-fan-ctl rgb zone 3 breathing --color 0000ffSynchronized:
pico-fan-ctl rgb all rainbow --syncUSB HID Extension
- Report 0x03 extended with zone parameter
- Configure LEDs per zone
- Zone mapping stored in flash
Use Cases
- Case Lighting: Front + back different colors
- Fan RGB: Individual fan ring colors
- Strip Zones: Top/bottom/side strips
- Ambient: Case + desk lighting
- Status: Different zones for different info
Acceptance Criteria
- At least 3 RGB channels
- Independent control
- Synchronization option
- Zone configuration in flash
- Documentation with wiring
Priority
Low - Advanced feature
