LED on nodes?

[andriej]

Hi!

I can't find anywhere how to declare LEDs (RX/TX/Error) on nodes...
I', LED freak and would like to see the blinks on small 3mm LEDs for 24/7 powered nodes.

I can only see the code to initialize them at gateway, which is not really what I'm looking for.

Regards,
Andriej

I guess the best way it would be to put up configuration (of blink-time) and initialization in one config file and adding a rx/tx/err in node initialization, just the same as gateway).

I'm building bigger case, also for the serial gateway.
I've built in RGB LED for MyS led's and after connecting each of colours to 6,5,4 pins - they blink in inverted way (so LED goes dark when it's supposed to blink).

Also - it would be great to configure the 'delay' of the blink. I'm big fan of fast blinking LEDs and MyS does it... like 3x slower than expected.

So maybe it's worth adding LED support for nodes already in library and also allow configuration of blink-time in MyConfig?

The LEDs mut be connected to VCC instead of Ground. I missed that too one my first attempt. :)

Well, i guess mine's different. :-)
It's RGB and the longest leg have to be connected to gnd. Maybe that's why.
