ledcontroller-3bit

A Linux command line utility to control usb mail notifiers identified as:

Bus 001 Device 010: ID 1294:1320 RISO KAGAKU CORP.

Inside the scripts folder you will find some simple bash scripts you can use to control the notifier. For example the script mled-cputemp will make it respond to your CPU's temperature.

Get and compile:

$ git clone https://github.com/andmarios/ledcontroller-3bit.git
$ cd ledcontroller-3bit/
$ make

Run:

$ ./ledcontroller blue | red | green | aqua | purple | yellow | white |  off

Install permanently:

$ sudo install -m root -g root -m 755 ledcontroller /usr/bin/ledcontroller

Uninstall:

$ sudo rm /usr/bin/ledcontroller

Requisites:

• libusb:1 or libusb-1.0-dev, depending on your distribution
• a system which can compile binaries (package build-essentials for Debian based distributions)

Hardware:

I think this is my notifier but I can't be sure as I bought it a couple of years ago from eBay.

My contribution to the code was trivial. I added support for all the 7 colors of the notifier as the original code only supported the 3 basic colors.

As jmrobles' website is in Spanish, his code on dropbox and I had a difficult time finding it, I uploaded it to GitHub.
