NJoy is the name of the LED controller in the n810. In the NJoy, all three colors are controlled independently, so the last three parameters give the programming for each LED color (with red, green, and blue, it should be possible to make any color).

Here's the tricky part: getting it all to work together. Remember that the colors are controlled INDEPENDENTLY. They all work individually with their separate programming, and don't really interact with each other. Having said that, the programming given to them is just a string of numbers. Each command consists of four digits. From mce.ini, here's a short guide:

Code:

# 0000 -- Jump to the start of the pattern for the channel
# 40xx -- Set channel brightness
# xxyy -- Increment/decrement
#      xx determines the speed;
#         01-3f -- short step time (granularity 0.49ms)
#         41-7f -- long step time (granularity 15.6ms)
#      yy determines the increment/decrement steps
#         00-7f -- increment steps 00 = 0 steps, 7f = 127 steps
#         80-ff -- decrement steps 80 = 0 steps, ff = 127 steps
#
#         Use 0 steps to create pauses
#         Two consecutive increment/decrement sequences are needed
#         to cover the entire range from 0-255
# c000 -- End pattern execution
# e002 -- Send red trigger
# e004 -- Send green trigger
# e008 -- Send blue trigger
# e080 -- Wait for red trigger
# e100 -- Wait for green trigger
# e200 -- Wait for blue trigger

I'm not quite sure how the "wait for x trigger" and "send x trigger" works. I'm assuming you can have, for example, the "wait for blue trigger" command in blue, and blue will pause execution until another color gives the "send blue trigger" command, but I can't test this, because I don't have a n810.
