It seems there might be a market for a "diagnostic light panel"... an bank of 3-color LEDs, a PC connection, and some script/API programmable controls of course. Then you could have massive banks of lights, each indicating whatever YOU wanted! I would buy one. I can see it now... a syslog message (duly reported by LogWatch): Dec 10 22:12:37 kernel: sodad[3412]: Soda rack 1 state LOW!" as one of the myriad green LED's changes to yellow and starts blinking slowly.... Dec 10 22:34:09 kernel: sodad[3412]: Soda tray 1 state EMPTY! Refill!" Fast red blink LED... Anyone know of a hack for those scrolling message signs that could be easily controlled from Linux? Then someone could write a dockable applet... -- Exile In Paradise To communicate is the beginning of understanding. -- AT&T
