maemo.org - Talk - (N900) Possible to change the colour of the notification light???

I just fired up my good old trusty N810 to check ;) It seems to have a different controller with a different notation:

Code:

[LEDPatternNJoyRX44]



# Patterns used if the device has an RGB LED connected to an NJoy controller

# Please prefix pattern names with Pattern to avoid name space clashes

#

# Priority (0 - highest, 255 - lowest)

# ScreenOn - 0 only show pattern when the display is off

#            1 show pattern even when the display is on

#            2 only show pattern when the display is off, including acting dead

#            3 show pattern even when the display is on, including acting dead

#            4 only show pattern if the display is off, or if in acting dead

# Timeout in seconds before pattern is disabled, 0 for infinite

# R-channel pattern in NJoy format (16 commands at most)

# G-channel pattern in NJoy format (16 commands at most)

# B-channel pattern in NJoy format (16 commands at most)

#

# 0000 -- Jump to the start of the pattern for the channel

# 40xx -- Set channel brightness

# xxyy -- Increment/decrement

#      xx determines the speed;

#         01-3f -- short step time (granularity 0.49ms)

#         41-7f -- long step time (granularity 15.6ms)

#      yy determines the increment/decrement steps

#         00-7f -- increment steps 00 = 0 steps, 7f = 127 steps

#         80-ff -- decrement steps 80 = 0 steps, ff = 127 steps

#

#         Use 0 steps to create pauses

#         Two consecutive increment/decrement sequences are needed

#         to cover the entire range from 0-255

# c000 -- End pattern execution

# e002 -- Send red trigger

# e004 -- Send green trigger

# e008 -- Send blue trigger

# e080 -- Wait for red trigger

# e100 -- Wait for green trigger

# e200 -- Wait for blue trigger

# This example pattern has a priority of 42 (all patterns with a *lower*

# priority value will have precedence), and will flash in yellow

# This pattern will be visible even when the display is on.

The explaination in the upper part corresponds to the lines below. The bold part seems to be for the color:

Code:

# R-channel pattern in NJoy format (16 commands at most)

# G-channel pattern in NJoy format (16 commands at most)

# B-channel pattern in NJoy format (16 commands at most)

This means the underlined part:

Code:

PatternCommunicationCall=30;1;0;0000;0000;40007f00017f017f050001ff01ff0000

Call is also blue on the N810, right? This is because we have 0000 for Red, 0000 for Green and 'something' for Blue.

You could search for patterns with red ('PatternError') or green ('PatternBatteryFull') and copy the underlined part I mentioned above responsible for the color from the pattern with the color you want to the pattern you wish to change. Do not copy the other parts of the line as they determine rythm and priority and you only want to change the color! This way you should be able to change the colors.

This should do what you want, although I am giving no warranties whatsoever. It is the whole 'Pattern' block, changed call to red, chat to green. Not sure, though, why green is so short:

BUT:
Be REALLY careful! I am really, really not being nasty here, but maybe you should not edit the file.

Best regards,
