i wanna know if its possible to make a little application for custumize the led color/function


here i found a tip
http://xel.fi/blog/view/2/maemo-how-...he-led-on-n810

but iam just a simply user and iam very far noob for programing something for that...


the idea is to make an application for configure your own pattern of led whit all colors for differents purpose...

exemple... flash red led every 3 second for new mail instead the blue one...

or

flash green led every 5 second if you have a new rss feed

anyway...

its very suprising then nobody make a very good and improve application for manage and custumise as well all the LED possibility we can make it whit this LED signal

cheers

i dont talk about changing setting by changing code in some config file but a complete application to play and configure/custumised all led possibility

very very different think here

its like difference between using notepad for coding a webpage VS using a complete CS4 creative suite lol

but tx for regards...

I plan to use the leds for this kind of stuff in some future project: I did some experiments with a flipclock app. cycling trough some colors, using led for a 'mood' mode, to notify the tap on the screen and show a partially dimmed red to remind that the clock is on:

the 1.2 is last version have the led things enabled: Jolouis toke over the coding now and he is fixing my cr8ppy code so he suspended the led features: U can take a look at the python source/scripts to check how I managed to change the led.
If you dont want bore installing it there is a youtube clip.
Happy weekend

So, what you really want is some kind of frontend application to edit mce.ini for you. Hmmm... I have spring break this weekend, maybe I'll look into whipping up something like this. No guarantees, though.

I tried the mce.ini approach but I felt a bit uncomfortable to modify a system file (and I did not find a lot of docs anyway). I eneded up with a bit more direct solution that probably works just for 1 OS version and 1 hardware model: in this specific case N810 with Diablo:

I realize that you can make the LED blink without editing mce.ini, but this isn't what was requested. He wanted to change the LED patterns for different events. His example was making the red LED blink for a new e-mail instead of the blue one. As far as I'm aware, this requires editing mce.ini to change the new e-mail pattern to use the red LED instead of the blue LED. This is why I suggested just editing mce.ini in the first place -- a text editor is all that's needed.

Also, just scanning mce.ini, there seems to be some pretty good documentation in the file itself.
