Do you have an unsupported LCD or VFD?

Hello everybody,

I tried to get the system monitor on my Steelseries Apex Pro TKL Gen 2, but unfortunately it is not working. I'm getting the "Error: HID device not found" message.

The USB dump is attached. Maybe you could have a look into this as it seems Gen 1 and Gen 3 are already supported.

Thank you very much in advance and have a nice weekend.

 

Best regards,

Please upgrade to the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme available at:

https://www.aida64.com/downloads/latesta64xebeta

After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade.

Let me know how it works with your keyboard.

Hi Fiery,

thanks for the fast response and the update.

While trying to activate the LCD, Iam getting the following error:

"Error: LCD feature report length mismatch"

Should I try the new beta or is there any change regarding my keyboard?

No, I'm afraid the issue cannot be resolved in a short time frame since the communication protocol has been changed in your keyboard revision

Hi everyone,

Waveshare USB monitor 7" dump here, i think it's the one on COM11, i don't know why i can't see the Manufacturer.

7inch-USB-Monitor - Waveshare Wiki

I connected it with the 4pin to 9pin cable directly on the motherboard, but there is also an usb c port.

any way to make it work with AIDA?

Thank you.

Hello 🙂
I plan on buying this display:
https://www.buydisplay.com/bar-type-6-2-inch-360x960-ips-tft-lcd-display-spi-rgb-interface
 

Since it does not support USB natively, I will try to use a FT232H USB to SPI Adapter:

Is it possible to implement this display in AIDA64? Of course I can provide USB dump or other necessary information, once I get the display.
Does the Arduino library provided in the link above enable you to implement? Somewhere I read, that you needed SDK. Are the files provided sufficient for that?
Edit: There are also some C++ sources available within the Arduino Tutorial. Maybe these could also be helpful.

Thank you! 🙂

As far as I can tell, you need to implement an image frame communication protocol on this device to make it work.  If you can do that and explain to us how to send image frames to the device, we can implement it in AIDA64.  We already have a working layer to handle FT232H USB to SPI Adapter for the Matrix Orbital EVE LCD module of AIDA64.

Please check it with the latest AIDA64 beta build:

https://www.aida64.com/downloads/latesta64xebeta

sorry for my late response and thank you very much for your work. I've tried the latest beta and latest stable. The sensor is recognized, but the OLED still shows no information.

Thank you!  Please send us an updated USB Dump using the latest AIDA64 beta version:

https://www.aida64.com/downloads/latesta64xebeta

In AIDA64 please press Ctrl+D --> Sensor Debug --> USB Dump. Copy-paste the full results into this topic, or attach the results as a TXT file to your post.

Hello. Does AID64 support the display on the new (and first) keyboard from be quiet! - darkmount? Support has not responded yet.

Thanks.

Not yet.  Is it possible to handle the display in that keyboard for custom (3rd party) purposes?

Unfortunately, I don't know yet. I really like the keyboard from be quiet, I want to replace my old one, whose keys are gradually dying (steelseries apex 7), but I don't want to give up the display on it. But I'm not ready to buy it yet if it turns out that the display cannot be interacted with from aida64. However, they have IO Center software, which can also be used to configure this media deck with an LCD display.

We've sent a collaboration request to be quiet! in a hope that they'd be open to working together with us to make this possible.  I will let you know how it goes.  Meanwhile, if you want, you can also try pushing them from the customer side to indicate an interest about having an AIDA64 + Dark Mount combo working.

Oh, wow. That's cool. Considering that there are very few gaming keyboards with displays in the mass market segment, and that they are mechanical, that would be awesome. I wrote them a long letter. They said they don't have any plans yet, but as a user, I don't know the technical side of interacting with the display, so maybe it will turn out to be easier than expected. Thank you very much!
