Got to work setting up an agile build development visual indicator lamp.

Plugged it in, linux USB subsystem says..

[432955.032403] usb 1-2: new low speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 6
[432955.245791] usb 1-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[432955.249318] usbled 1-2:1.0: USB LED device now attached
[432955.249366] usb 1-2: New USB device found, idVendor=0fc5, idProduct=1223
[432955.249369] usb 1-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
[432955.249372] usb 1-2: Product: USB Visual Indicator
[432955.249375] usb 1-2: Manufacturer: Delcom Engineering

Looks like a delcom engineering visual indicator lamp.

oddly enough, there are entries under /sys for this lamp, i guess there must be a kernel module for it in 2.6.22 ?

I guess it must be one of these..

dgtlmoon@nine:/tmp$ lsmod|grep -i led
usbled                  9344  0
led_class              10248  1 acer_wmi

So a simple bash hack...

#!/bin/bash

while `true`
do
    echo 0 >/sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbled/1-2:1.0/blue
sleep 0.25
    echo 1 >/sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbled/1-2:1.0/green
sleep 0.25

    echo 1 >/sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbled/1-2:1.0/red
sleep 0.25

    echo 1 >/sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbled/1-2:1.0/blue
sleep 0.25

    echo 0 >/sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbled/1-2:1.0/red
sleep 0.25
    echo 0 >/sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbled/1-2:1.0/green

sleep 0.25

    echo 1 >/sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbled/1-2:1.0/green
    echo 1 >/sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbled/1-2:1.0/blue
    echo 1 >/sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbled/1-2:1.0/red
sleep 0.5
done

Should give me pretty lights like..

Now to figure it out in windows, get the build lamp to represent the background color of a python buildomatic continuous integration (CI) server
