QMK-OpenRGB VS qmk-hid-display

I found this fork of the QMK repo, do you think I could flash this version onto the Ergodox Ez and use it as usual, but with OpenRGB support?

I also have a custom keyboard running QMK (The iris rev 6, specifically). I have compiled my firmware from the openrgb branch and flashed it, added it to the list using the PID/VID according to what lsusb reports, but OpenRGB refuses to acknowledge it. Documentation on this process is sparse, so does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be going wrong?

So to make this work i used https://github.com/Kasper24/QMK-OpenRGB which is a fork of qmk implementing it's own controller for openRGB (WARNING! you can either use via or openrgb but not both since via uses all the bandwith).

There are also efforts to make QMK capable to control the leds via software. There is OpenRGB with unofficial support in a QMK OpenRGB fork. So currently no official implementation. Also see: QMK OpenRGB Protocol and QMK Compatibility

You could use the OpenRGB protocol. It is developed in a fork - https://github.com/Kasper24/QMK-OpenRGB

I'd like to call out that one of the coolest yet underutilized features is Raw HID, which performs bidirectional communication between QMK and the computer. In principle, this could enable some interesting new things, like having the keymap change adaptively based on the focused application or using the keyboard LEDs or OLED screen to indicated computer CPU use, battery, email notifications. The tricky thing is Raw HID requires writing software for the computer side as well. There is some existing work, like Drugantibus/qmk-hid-rgb and BlankSourceCode/qmk-hid-display, but it would be cool to see Raw HID become more widely used. Hopefully the QMK XAP protocol that's under development will make these kinds of things easier.

I've come to the realization that I'd be better suited to just getting a Pro Micro/Elite C and running QMK, and later buying a NiceNano when ZMK has proper display support (I'm assuming ZMK display support is still a bit limited). I'd like to be able to do basic RGB stuff (different colors for different layers, maybe have arrow keys in a separate color, fade in/out when turning on, perhaps on device RGB adjustments even if that's a thing?). I also hope to be able to use the 2 OLEDs that I have (I'm hoping I can get basic stats from my laptop like time/battery etc with something like https://github.com/BlankSourceCode/qmk-hid-display) along with the 2 rotary encoders.

I'm trying to install a github package and I am getting this error. I do have VS installed so I am not sure what the issue is. As a side note I have no experience with node so I might be doing something really stupid wrong

This is someone else's implementation of HID: https://github.com/BlankSourceCode/qmk-hid-display
