# aula-hero68-protocol: reconstructing AULA HERO 68 HE RGB control

> aula-hero68-protocol documents the HID lighting protocol of the AULA HERO 68 HE keyboard. It specifies the 64-byte output report, checksum, lighting commands and per-key payloads, and includes a key map calibrated by lighting and pressing individual keys. Capture parsers and a device test script accompany the protocol notes.

## Requirements & limits

- **Prerequisites:** An AULA HERO 68 HE keyboard with HID VID:PID 0x372E:0x103E is the documented test device.
- **Prerequisites:** Python tools require hidapi; capture tools additionally use Playwright or USBPcap.
- **Limits:** The author reports that frames above about 24 color packets can lose packets or show wrong colors, while continuous cmd 0x06 refresh can make the keyboard flash.
- **License:** Code: MIT License; documentation: CC BY 4.0, as stated by the project.
