CFA 635 LED plugin

[Crazy_Monkey]

It'd be great if anyone could write a plugin to utilize the LEDs on the 635. It'd also be great if someone with knowledge of how to do it could give me a start on what to do in a DLL and I could write it...but I dunno where to start.

What do the LEDs do? What are the commands to control them?

Is your LCD serial or usb?

The LEDs can change colors (quite a few if I remember right), there's four of them, and you could use them in temperature monitoring and such. Just simple little snazzy details.

There's the source and application that I used to make the leds change colors depending on some 0-100% input. The source should have the commands in it.

I knew I forgot to turn on email notification for this thread.

Maybe I'll work in it myself, but I'd rather help someone that knows what they're doing...I'm just now getting to classes that teach C++ and C#...stupid universities teaching Java all the time....

EDIT

Forgot to add that it's USB.

Does the LCD Smartie work with CFA-635 otherwise? Are the keys supported? Big fonts?

Yes, it always does, though, I will say it's not exactly out of the box working, but it usually does once you install the drivers from the CF site.

It doesn't work for me. The CF demo program works fine. I close the demo program, start LCD Smartie, in LCD Smartie I select CF along with same speed as in demo program, but the screen still shows same default info. What am I missing?

Well, I was messing around with the canio builds, and somehow, along the way, I got it working by running that canio exe in the lcdsmartie directory.
