Supported Firmware version

[Mortal]

In #10 I see a reported firmware version of 147.7.3.245.18. When I run the poc-ts command (commit 228f337) I get the output Firmware Version:7.3.247.18.

What firmware version do you know that e.g. the allColor function in POC/ts/index.ts is known to work with? The reason I'm asking is that when I run allColor("#0000FF"), the keys do not all change to the same color; instead, it looks like some keys have their brightness changed, a few have the color changed, and such (picture below). So it might be the case that the keyboard firmware does not understand the data sent by the script.

EDIT: I should say that I just received my 5Q keyboard today and I did not connect it to a Windows pc or update the firmware.

I made the following changes to the POC to only run allColor("#0000FF"):

rav@novascotia:~/codes/node-lib$ git diff POC/ts/index.ts
diff --git a/POC/ts/index.ts b/POC/ts/index.ts

@Mortal thanks for reporting this! Truthfully, we didn't know what firmware versions we support yet. It's starting to look like there's some big updates in the latest firmware over some of these factory versions. Your version looks to be the earliest version reported so far.

I've added a note in the readme about this here: https://github.com/diefarbe/node-lib/blob/master/README.md#firmware-versions

If you can get to a windows PC, you'll find the latest firmware here: https://www.daskeyboard.io/get-started/download/

There were some issues with the color channel zones in the JSON a little while back. Have you pulled latest and tested?

Mine keyboard was originally displaying the 147.x for the firmware version but it is now displaying the more common 7.3.253.18. That seems to match up with the numbering that DAS has in their versioning.
