Most likely not before release.    If someone wants to work some magic I'll be happy to include it.

echo 1 > /dev/led/led2    <- Turns LED 2 on
echo 0 > /dev/led/led2    <- Turns LED 2 off
echo fx> /dev/led/led2    <- Flashes LED 2 at intervals where x=1-9.  1 is fastest 9 is slowest.

LED 1 is the LED on the left.  LED 2 is the middle LED.  LED 3 is the LED on the right.  Unless you have your box upside down, and then it would be reversed :)

Well isn't this special.  I had no idea this was so easy… I just verified it works with Soekris too...

echo 1 > /dev/led/error

Heheh…  I wish I were more useful in putting this knowledge into something worthwhile.

But, at least I have 3 blinking LEDs on my WRAP right now :)

Well, 1 is solid, 2 is slow blink, and 3 is fast blink.

Makes it look like the box is really at work doing something :)

LMAO

I'll see about integrating this into the alert manager.

Working on a little script that will have my Asterisk box blink the 3rd LED when I have voicemail…

Completely useless, but fun nonetheless.

has there been any progress on putting the leds to any use?

You can utilize commands to turn on/off/blink lights in hidden config.xml commands on bootup or on filter reload:

like make it blink with earlyshellcommand and switch to sold with shellcommand after it's up…

Just tested this and it works (insert below your <system>tag in your downloaded config.xml and restore it again):

	  <earlyshellcmd>echo 1 > /dev/led/led2</earlyshellcmd>
	  <shellcmd>echo 1 > /dev/led/led3</shellcmd>

This will do the following on a wrap (like a progressmeter):

• light 1 turns on when system is initializing bios
• light 2 turns on early in the boot process
• light 3 tunrs on when the bootup is nearly finished

In case you have only one LED (soekris) you can try this:

	  <earlyshellcmd>echo f4 > /dev/led/led1</earlyshellcmd>
	  <shellcmd>echo 1 > /dev/led/led1</shellcmd>

This will make the first LED blink when early in the bootup process and switch to solid when it's nearly done.</system>
