nueLED - configure/customize your LEDs...

I found a program called KaiserNotification, designed to program LED's on the Kaiser/Tilt. Because nueLED works on the Kaiser, I decided to try KaiserNotification on my Mogul.

It does seem to work, at least partially, on the Mogul. For example, I could set the phone service LED to blink green, amber or RED! Unlike the Mogul, the Kaiser seems to assign phone service and bluetooth to the same LED. So, when I programmed phone service "green" and bluetooth "red", I got flashing amber (green + red) -- not too useful.

The "About" screen mentions 2 web sites, one of which may have information on LED programming. I'll leave it to experts like no2chem to track that down and see if it's useful.

Here's a link to the program (use at your own risk!). I had to join the site (MoDaCo) before I could download.

KaiserNotification

Thanks, -- robinsondm

yeah, i know about that program, it does something with the notification queue and the "force led" ioctl...

Sorry guys but i am not able to make any changes. could someone break it down a little more for me. I would like to successfully turn my green led to blink blue. I guess i don't understand how to redirect and or make any changes. Any help much appreciated. Thanks

anyone.......?

Question... I managed to get the blue tooth light to blink instead of my original green led but however its on the opposite side. (near the little envelope button) i thought it would blink where the original green led did. any help?

that led is physically in that spot...

Thanks Radar...

But when my battery is low the red light comes on where the original is and so does orange. so i figured why not blue.

ok so I got my signal led to blink blue (near the little envelope) can i also add something to the other led so that it can blink as well? (near the "e")

Thanks,

Many are making the same assumption you are when first getting the program. NueLED does NOT directly control LEDs.
It redirects their addresses so you can swap one existing function with another.
This means you will not be able to get any color you want (purple) or make it flash faster or both at the same time.
Although I bet NueLED2 will have something along those lines. (No2Chem: Just making sure this makes your top 30 to-do list.

Yeah, the KaiserNotification program does seem to control the LED's directly. That's probably why it can keep the red LED flashing, even though the phone periodically resets address 4 to zero, and why its changes take effect without a reset.

Unfortunately, KN has the wrong LED mapping for us (e.g., it assigns bluetooth to the red/green/amber LED). It also seems to be a memory hog. I saw it using almost 1MB of memory, so I removed it.

It would be nice to have a small-footprint program that gave us more control of the LEDs...

As for programming different colors, I doubt the LEDs can produce more colors than what we've seen -- but I'd love to be proven wrong on that...

if i get a chance, that is.. IF i will implement the IOCTL_FORCE_LED command, which is what kaiserled uses.

i've had more requests for help with nueminutes though, so it'll have to hold off until then =)

Kraygh thanks for a better understanding. I will be looking out for this nice app.
