CUE-SDK C# Wrapper (CUE.NET)

[Darth Affe]

Current version: 1.2.0

You'll always find the latest release on nuget https://www.nuget.org/packages/CUE.NET/ or (sometimes older) releases at https://github.com/DarthAffe/CUE.NET/releases/latest and the source at https://github.com/DarthAffe/CUE.NET
This is considered done now and will be no longer actively developed (only bugfixes if needed).
CUE.NET will be superseded by RGB.NET. Feel free to join the discord-channel if you're interested what's happening there :)

Features:

• Full Control over the LEDs of your SDK-supported Corsair-Devices through a C#-API
  
• Reading, saving and restoring colors on the keyboard
  
• By-key-access to every supported led or grouping in regions/lists
  
• Comprehensive render-engine based on brushes to allow easy drawing over multiple leds.
  
• Effect-engine to animate brushes or groups of leds
  
• Capture special key-pressed (including G- (keyboard) and M- (mouse) keys)

Hey man, good work! I too much prefer c# over c++, could you give us some example code that we could test and work with :)? Thanks

[Darth Affe]

Hey goomonster3,

I just committed a small example of what's possible for now.
This is rudimentary, but I'm going to bring it into some structure now.

Sweet! Thank you a lot - I am gonna try and do some stuff with your "ported" c# sdk now :D. Keep up the good work - loads of developers will appreciate it later when this gets noticed!

Update: Can't get your example to start - 14 errors

Here they are:

Are you using Visual Studio 2015? I've used C# 6 language features which (as far as I know) can't be built with older versions.

Working! :) Thanks!

I've just created an release tag for a version which seems to work quite well.
As said until now it's nothing too fancy but for anyone who wants to utilize the api it should be a good place to start.

Like before I appreciate ideas of what to add, help with other devices than my K95 (the only device it's tested until now) or someone who checks my spelling and grammar to let the documentation (well, or code-comments) be understandable :p

What would be great if you could light up the keyboard if you click a mouse button :-) But I am still waiting for my M65 RGB as it was hard to find one with the sails logo. The gaming logo looks %*@# ;-)

Hey Darth, I was fooling around with you're wrapper and got this cool lighting effect by modifying your sample program.

Nice one!
I'm about to finish all the stuff to release a stable version 1.0 - I hope you'll use it to do more cool things :)

Hey! I'd like to know how far along you might be on the development of support for mice and headsets! If you're still working on it, I could pitch in. I'm using your wrapper in my program, now, and I'd love to extend my effects to all the devices through SDK.

Let me know here or in a PM if you'd like to work together on what's left, please! :)

I'm noticing that the SDK detects my keyboard but the keys collection contains zero elements. I have a Corsair K95 under Windows 10 with latest CUE Engine, driver and firmware.

using Version 0.2.0.0 of CUE.NET and tries .NET 4.5 and 4.6.

-- CODE --
CueSDK.Initialize();
Console.WriteLine("Initialized with " + CueSDK.LoadedArchitecture + "-SDK");

CorsairKeyboard keyboard = CueSDK.KeyboardSDK;

Console.WriteLine(keyboard.DeviceInfo.Model);
Console.WriteLine(keyboard.DeviceInfo.Type.ToString());
Console.WriteLine(keyboard.DeviceInfo.CapsMask.ToString());

if (keyboard == null)
throw new Exception("Keyboard not found");

keyboard['A'].Led.Color = Color.Red;
keyboard[CorsairKeyboardKeyId.B].Led.Color = Color.Green;
keyboard.Update();

End's with an uninitialized object exception when I try to touch keyboard['A'] and if I output the contents of the keys collection I have a count of zero. It does however report the K95 keyboard properly after I initialize. Help? I'm trying to write a program to do something really cool with the LED's and serve it as a #Codegasm episode on http://barnnerd.com

Hmm, sounds a bit weird - I'll investigate this.
Could you try to run the color_pulse-example provided by corsair with the sdk? This would help to make sure that there is no general problem with your CUE-, OS-, firmware-, device-combination.
