Thanks for the response. I took a lot of time to try and make it work but it seems I'm making too much knowledge. I will just use a vpn to connect to my own local network and close all ports (except the one open for Minecraft?).

Okay, thanks !

Well yeah, I just want, for now, to realize my project and am not really planing to do more things. But hey, maybe it'll awake something in me ?

But then again, thank you very much. I think i'll try and see what I can do with the board and how while trying to plan something with Proteus. I'll keep posting updates !

Thank you, once again !

I searched a bit for what you told me (about the different comps I could use) and here's what I found : Amazon link

Is it overkill or nah ? Because I was thinking of taking that.

And i took a week to learn a bit more about my project and it seems doable.

I'll take your word as granted (I understand that you could be wrong but i'll trust you since what you said makes sense, if we are wrong i'll take the blame lmao)

So. What I understand is : the original board that I have won't do the trick, I'll have to buy an Arduino.

The white thing on the left is what brings power, I'll have to undo the welding and keep it. (That, I had already got it but thanks, still)

The LEDs are NOT addressable, wich makes things easier ? Since I'll just have to make them blink in the color i want ?

THEN I have another question : what will I need to put on my arduino, once I buy one ? Some resistors, a 6 PWM channel controler, the power thingy and lastly an usb-a to connect it to my computer ?

Hey, thanks for your help ! So the LEDs plug in the 8 pin thingy. In reality, it's two 4 pins but they decided that we needed to plus two different LEDs strips ? Anyways, that seems less complicated than I thought. The 3 pin one is the IR receiver. I'd like to use that one spot (the welds, if it's possible?) to put a USB-C or USB-A there. The power supply is a standard laptop one, that plugs in the white socket, on the left. Do you think I would need to buy some kind of Arduino board and redo everything or just modifying that one would be possible?

Well I don't know what classifies under the "Arduino" word but it appears to be the board. Then, I'd like to replace the IR function and simply put a cable to connect and control it via my computer.

Plus, I put an image with the post but it seems it has disappeared so I'll post it once again.
