💅 NAME 💅

okay so bestie, gather round — ola_rdm_set is the glow-up tool that sets the value of a PID for an RDM device. that's it, that's the whole vibe. it lives in the User Commands corner of the manual, section 1, and honestly? she ate. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ola_rdm_set --universe <universe> --uid <uid> <pid> <value>

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so like, you wanna set the value of a PID for a device? this is literally the girl for the job. 💖

and before you go guessing PIDs out of thin air (not me doing that 🙈), just run ola_rdm_set --list-pids and it will hand you a list of PIDs. iconique behaviour, no cap.

now here's the whole menu of flags, and every single one of them matters, so pay attention bestie:

  • --frames — shows you the raw RDM frames, but only if available. peek behind the curtain, queen. 🦋
  • --uid <uid> — the UID of the device you wanna control. you gotta know who you're talking to, fr fr.
  • -d, --sub-device <device> — targets a particular sub device. the default is 0, so if you don't say anything she just assumes the main character. 👑
  • -h, --help — displays this help message and then exits. the polite lil "i'm out" of flags. 💅
  • -l, --list-pids — displays a list of PIDs. this is your bestie. use her first. ✨
  • -p, --pid-location — the directory to read PID definitions from. tell her where the lore lives. 🎀
  • -u, --universe <universe> — universe number. which universe are we in today? 🌈
lowkey reminder: you need --universe and --uid and a <pid> and a <value> to actually do the thing. the flags above are the supporting cast, not the whole ensemble. 💀

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🫶 this lil beauty comes from ola_rdm_set, dated December 2015, and she's filed under OLA_RDM_SET(1) in the manual. go set some PIDs and slay. periodt. 💜🌸✨
