Hi,

I would like to present an application made by Epsena (http://www.epsena.com). zauLEDSignalizer uses LEDs of your PDA to signalize many events on the device. Currently supported events, when LEDs blink are:

Compact Flash reading
Compact Flash writing
Compact Flash inserted
Secure Digital reading
Secure Digital writing
Secure Digital inserted
Storage reading/writing
IrDA sending
IrDA receiving
IrDA active
USB Communicating
Processor usage high
Screen tap
Battery status low

Works with:
Sharp Zaurus SL-5000D
Sharp Zaurus SL-5500
Sharp Zaurus SL-A300

SL-5600 and C-7x0 models will be supported soon.

Charge LED flashes only when AC power is connected.

Not wanting to spoil your business, but if someone is interested in a simple program to set/unset LEDs from a shell-script, there are my ledtools (http://www.pmf.neominds.net/feed/ledtools_0.1_armv5tel.ipk).

Tested with C760 only.

But this is a little different tool. It not only turns on/off LEDs but makes them flashing on selected events/signals, so you know what your Zaurus is doing.

I can\'t wait for this to support C760, but alas I still haven\'t got mine fixed.

Hopefully someone will make a GNU version.

You can download it from Handango.

Any new info on C7x0 model support?  It seems like a fairly minor app, but I\'d gladly pay to know when it\'s time to reboot or when I should give it a bit longer to think.

Bartek, how did you enable the charging LED without having the AC connected?

I spent lot of time trying to enable ChargeLED -without success- and I think it is impossible to enable ChargeLED without the AC connected (hardware limitations).

D\'oh. Sometimes it helps to read, thanks Anton.

I\'m pretty sure it is not a hardware limitation though, because on the Zaurus, _everything_ is done in software, even charging the battery. Needs a kernel patch though and it\'s probably not worth the work.

Yes, it is a software problem, since battery handling code inside zaurus kernel does exactly that - it turns battery LED on and off at will.
