Hi all,

Does anyone know if there is an interval timer for the N900.
Something that can time say 20 seconds / then 10 seconds & repeat several times.

Something on OVI store below would be perfect but its not available for the N900!

Any assistance would be great!

Thanks

The geek way to do it (in xterm):
Code:
while true; do sleep 20; echo "interval 1"; sleep 10; echo "interval 2"; done

Thanks, that worked!

Is there a way that I can turn the back light say green on interval 1 & then Red on interval 2?

I can do it in Bash so I can use ASCII codes for setting the terminal to inverted background etc.

If you haven't got Bash installed, you can "apt-get install bash" as the root user. Then type 'Bash' in XTerm to a Bash session. Then do this (you can type it all on one line)

Code:
while true; do 
   echo -e "\033[?5h\033[2J interval 1" ;
   sleep 20 ;
   echo -e "\033[?5l\033[2J interval 2" ;
   sleep 10 ;
done

You can also use aplay to play a WAV file at the end of the interval. Or use
Code:
espeak "Out of time, self-destruct sequence started"
if you have espeak installed.
