[SOLVED] RGB Help Aura Sync

[qicboy47]

Can you use rgb splitters and still be able to control the rgb parts individually

Yes and no.

Example:
Let's say you use DRGB 2-way splitter to connect 2x addressable LED strips to single digital RGB header on your MoBo. Since LED strip is addressable, you can change each and every LED color. For this example, let's say there's 5x LEDs per strip. And default color would be:
strip 1: red - red - red - red - red
strip 2: red - red - red - red - red

If you change 2nd LED color on strip 1 to e.g blue, like so:
strip 1: red - blue - red - red - red

The 2-way splitter would multiply the same color change to 2nd strip as well, making it look like so:
strip 1: red - blue - red - red - red
strip 2: red - blue - red - red - red

So, in that sense, you can control individual LEDs on addressable LED strip but both LED strips would be in sync.

To get individual control over both LED strips and make them look like so:
strip 1: red - blue - red - red - red
strip 2: red - red - red - yellow - red

You will need to have both LED strips on their own channel, without using RGB splitter.

Thank you for answering my question, but what if I use an RGB controller like an Asus controller for aura sync?

Are you talking about ROG Aura Terminal?
specs: https://www.asus.com/Motherboard-Accessories/ROG-Aura-Terminal/

If so then yes, you can control each LED strip individually since it has 4x channels. And thanks to the controller unit, you'd also have control over individual LED within the strip as well.

That was what I was talking about thanks.
