Led From Command Line?

[clofland]

Is there a way to turn on the green "mail" LED from a script in pdaXrom?

[pierre]

On my C-1000 (pdaXrom), I has device named sharp_led in /dev. Maybe this can help you...

look at the command :

xset --help ... it talk about a led fonction ...

Perhaps ...

  sharp_led_status st;
  if ((argc>1) && (strcmp(argv[1],"on")==0))
  {
    status=1;
  }

  fd = open ("/dev/sharp_led", O_WRONLY);
  st.which = 9;
  st.status = status;
  ioctl(fd, SHARP_LED_SETSTATUS, &st);
  close(fd);

  return 0;
}

Thanks pgas! I was just about to try patching something together when I saw your binary. Very cool, this is exactly what I needed!

FYI, you can set "which" to 13 instead of 9 and give several other status numbers to have the mail LED flash/blink in many different ways. If you set "which" to 12 you can control the battery LED.

If I get ambitios, I'll modify your code to take more options later this week, unless someone with real C++ skills gets to it first.

Now it is just too bad that there is no way to keep that LED blinking after the Z goes to sleep.
