N900 has rather complex LED blinking hardware. (Yes, it has dedicated chip that can run simple "programs" for LED blinking). It would be cool to have reasonable interface for N900 leds... and perhaps its subset would work for you, too... http://wiki.maemo.org/LED_patterns Pavel > + on(1/6s)off(1/6s)on(1/6s)off(1/6m) > + ...off 500ms... > + on(1/6s)off(1/6s)on(1/3s)off(1/6m) > + ...off 500ms > + ... > + > + Example 2 > + > + echo burst > trigger > + echo 4 > freq > + echo 3 > times > + echo 1000 > delay_off Hmm, would something like echo 40 > step_length_ms echo "- - - " > pattern do the same trick?
