excellent! Thanks! Very grateful to you
PS. how to restart LED Clock after reboot?
Several requests:
put a pause of 2 seconds between showing the time
allocate each 5 signal (brightness level or color)
Dozens little bit longer
no 24 flashes
Only: 2 long flashes and 4short flashes.

Edit: This should be fixed in version 0.0.2-1.

if only one color is needed read this
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...6&postcount=99
because only 14 commands are available we can make ( at first sight ) 7 loops like this ( 23 : 55 )
0 >> 9d80
1 >> e104 call & wait second engine
2 >> repeat step 2 for x times ( a081 for 2 cycles)
3 >> 7f02 interdigits pause
4>> e104 call & wait second engine
5>> repeat step 4 for Y times ( a104 for 3 cycles second digit )
6 >> 7f02 interdigit pause
7 >> e104 call & wait second engine
8>> repeat step 7 for x times ( a207 for 5 cycles third digit )
9 >> 7f02 interdigits pause
10 >> e104 call & wait second engine
11 >> repeat step 10 for x times ( a20a for 5 cycles four digit)
12 >> 7f00 last digit pause
13 >> a28c cycle for more pause
14 empty
15 >> 0000 reset
the second engine
9d80
087f pulse up
097f pulse down
e082 trig & wait from engine 1
4000 just in case ....
0000
it is a lot of command available even for black steps
engine 1 jump to second engine steps are the same e104
branch command a000 + 80 * times + start_loop_step_number ( in hexa )
for morse code lovers ... SOS pattern

The Morse code idea is lovely! Having it one at a time makes it 20 signals long plus 3 gaps.
What about binary/hex? For digit by digit you only need 4 times 4 signals. For a 12hour pattern you need 11 and for 24hour pattern 12, so having the 12/24h pattern is the shortest. For hex you could use Morse code, that would be just one pattern at a max of 10 flashes and one gap.

Not that I don't appreciate you guys trying to make this app - but I don't really see the point! Morse code is so long and you need to concentrate and count the dots/dashes!
A better idea would be to create and app that every 20minutes or so slowly increases the display brightness and shows the time then slowly disappears.
This way it's not disturbing, and doesn't require much concentration to see the time!

The hours could be represented by long flashes, followed by either one, two, three or four short flashes to signify which quarter of the hour you're in e.g. flaaash, flaaash, flash, flash would mean between quarter past and half past two.
I reckon this is a great idea, but the morse code seems a bit complicated.
I realise its not so accurate but I would be happy just knowing what hour it is, 3 flashes would be 3 am/pm ( i say pm cos i work nights too!)

But using different colours to represent times would be better, in total we would need 4 different colors - (2^4 = 16 > 12) plus 2 colours for the minute hand.
We have blue, green, orange and white as four colours.
We can flash the four colours quickly - then pause for 1/2 second then flash two colours representing 15, 30, 45, 60.
