I have 10 CM sickleflow aRGB fans and I would like to control each fan colors and each fan individual leds. What would be my options? I chose the fans because of the low price and the fact that I wouldn’t be locked into Corsair’s iCue ecosystem or something like that. I’m not afraid if I have to build a controller from arduino if that’s possible.

    I’ve got a background in both light tech, as in stage/club lighting, and smart home stuff. So for me it was a bit of a given that I’d end up doing something like this. Although I have to say that the controller for my Lian-Li fans didn’t disappoint. And what I’ve seen from corsair isn’t bad either. It’s just that that way you’re more locked in to a specific brand, or end up with multiple rgb software suites (or openrgb for all but one component).

    Have been thinking of making a video about how to set something like this up. It’s not hard to do. It can be done without soldering, premade components exist, but might be a bit to niche for most to come across. (WLED is used a lot for holiday lighting, those roofline lighting and such)
