Stupid question.

I know I can turn a GUI LED on or off. But is it possible to turn an LED a different color? Say Green for good, Red for a fault condition?

Cheers,

Page 49 of the manual mentions the colour when defining the LED, then goes on to say:-

[Quote]The colour can be changed with the GUI FCOLOUR command.[/quote]

But I don't quite understand that bit.

I get the impression that it's colour is set once when it's defined.

I have some coloured LED's on a couple of my MM2's, but they are really just RBOX's that I re-write in a different colour.

Phil.

Hmmmm, I'm reading the burst in the manual about the GUI FCOLOUR command. Looks like I'll have to play around with some code and see what happens.

Cool,

My RBOX LED's flick from yellow to green,
but the E100 ones only go on/off.

Would like it to blink Green (as it does) when a good coms packet is received,
but also blink red if a bad packet is received.

ATM bad packets cause no LED activity at all.

Any chance of posting a small bit of code showing how you are using FCOLOUR to change the LED.

Phil.

Edit:= Pretty simple, think I had a different command in mind.

[Code]GUI FCOLOUR colour,
#ref1 [, #ref2, #ref3, etc]
This will change the foreground colour of the specified controls to 'colour'
which is an RGB value for the drawing colour.
'#ref' is the control's reference (a number from 1 to 100).[/code]Edited by Phil23 2017-06-03
