Vis en status via USB lysShow a status with a USB light

For et godt stykke tid siden købte jeg for sjov denne USB notifier på Deal Extreme for at lege med.
Efter en del søgen, faldt jeg over dette projekt, hvor Eric var så flink at fået en ligende usbnotifier til at virke på OSX. Jeg hentede hans kode og fik kompilet en fil.

Du kan hente filen her.

Den modtager et enkelt parameter og det er hvilken farve den skal skifte til. Farverne følger her:

off: 0
blue: 1
red: 2
green: 3
light blue: 4
purple: 5
yellow-green: 6
white: 7

Min tidligere kollega købte denne her og den virkede også og vi brugte den blandt andet til at vise status over vores IT systemer og underholde med at blinke når bestemte ord blev nævnt på Twitter. 🙂

Quite a while ago I bought this USB notifier from Deal Extreme to play with, just for fun.
After a fair bit of searching I came across this project, where Eric had been kind enough to get a similar USB notifier working on OSX. I downloaded his code and compiled a file.

You can download the file here.

It takes a single parameter, which is the colour it should change to. The colours are:

off: 0
blue: 1
red: 2
green: 3
light blue: 4
purple: 5
yellow-green: 6
white: 7

My former colleague bought this one, and it worked too. Among other things we used it to show the status of our IT systems, and for fun to blink when certain words were mentioned on Twitter. 🙂
