Setup

1. If you are updating from older Nollie firmware, please write down your OpenRGB zone size, SignalRGB components or Skydimo layouts, because you’ll lose all your previously saved settings.
2. Before Running NollieRGB, if you are SignalRGB user, open up SignalRGB, click Devices under System, click Lighting tab, change Hardware effect to Nollie.
   
3. Now run NollieRGB 2.1 and click on one of your Nollie controller to perform firmware update.
   
4. Now on the left you have the LED settings, click on it you will see the Channel Led Setting page.
   
5. There are 3 ways to Resize zones:
   • Good old LED Size
   • Vmap from NollieRGB 1.0
   • SignalRGB’s Component

   I prefer Components, it makes life so much easier. Click on Components and choose one of the preset.
   

6. If your component is not in the list, you can use our SignalRGB Component Editor to make one. Save the component into “Components” folder in your NollieRGB 2.1.
   
7. If your components are daisy-chained into one channel, you’ll need to make a custom component like this.
   
8. You can also just create a linear LED strip by clicking on LED size button.
   
9. If you’re unsure which Channel is corresponding to which component, you can click on the Channel name on the left, it will pulse green on the component.
   
10. If you have Lian Li Strimer 24-pin motherboard, Resize Channel ATX 1, ATX 2, ATX 3, ATX 4, ATX 5 and ATX 6 to 20 LEDs. (This step is only applicable for Nollie32)
11. If you have Lian Li Strimer GPU dual 8-pin or triple 8-pin, Resize Channel GPU 1, GPU 2, GPU 3, GPU 4, GPU 5 and GPU 6 to 27 LEDs. Dual 8-pin leave Channel GPU 5 and GPU 6 at 0 LEDs. (This step is only applicable for Nollie32)
12. Go back to Home on the top left, Change GPIO to 1 if you got Dual 8pin and leave it at 0 if you got Triple 8pin. (This step is only applicable for Nollie32)
    
13. For Nollie 1CH users, Change GPIO to 1 if you are powering your LEDs via external power supply, leave it at 0 if you are powering via USB. (This step is only applicable for Nollie1)
    

Setup Effects

1. Click on Loop Canvas on the left and expand Canvas 1. If you don’t see a Canvas, Add one.
   
2. Solid color is very straight forward. Click on the Effect button, a new window will pop up, choose Solid Color and change the color from Color1 setting.
   
3. For other effect, click on Effect button and choose any effects other than Off and Solid.
4. You can rearrange channels by clicking on the Add Channel button, a new window will pop up, you can drag your channels up and down to rearrange them, you can also remove the channel that you don’t want to the right.
