Modifying led colours and patterns
There are multiple triggers for led blinking. All can be found in
/etc/mce/mce.ini
The file can be edited with any text editor that can be run with Root access and open the file. So GUI - editors probably don't work, but terminal versions all will.
Step by step instructions
- Open terminal
- Gain Root access
- Make a backup (not necessary!) from original mce.ini -file, for example:
cp /etc/mce/mce.ini /etc/mce/mce.ini_old
- Open /etc/mce/mce.ini with a text editor
- Search for a line:
[LEDPatternLystiRX51]
- Make your changes to the lines below
- Save
- Restart mce -process. Either reboot or type to terminal:
initctl stop mce; sleep 2; initctl start mce
Constructing own patterns
The mce.ini -file has description header before pattern defining start. Here will be hopefully easier way to visualize the long strings.
