Configuring LED signals?

[gleonard3]

What is the syntax for modifying the configuration file in ~/voice-recognizer-raspi/config/status-led.ini.default?? I need to turn off the "device ready" blinking, before my wife stabs me.

Does ensonic's answer on #2 help?

[gleonard3]

Yes, it does, thanks. Changed "ready": "beacon-dark" to "ready": "off". Sorry for the extra noise.

Glad you've responded - I was terrified you'd fallen victim to mariticide. Have fun with the kit!

I've tried modify the latest version of led.py to change "ready":
https://github.com/google/aiyprojects-raspbian/blob/master/src/led.py#L50
"ready": aiy.common.LED.LED_BEACON_DARK,
to
"ready": aiy.common.LED.LED_OFF
I then restarted the service:
sudo service voice-recognizer restart
(note: from memory so may not have got exact syntax right)
It seemed to make no difference. Any ideas what is wrong? I would really like to stop it pulsing when just sitting there.

You need to restart the LED service:

sudo service status-led restart

Oh, I'll give that a try at home. Are there any other services associated with the project. I'll create a short script in to restart all of them.

I can see the list in:
https://github.com/google/aiyprojects-raspbian/tree/master/systemd
Would be useful to install a script (e.g. /usr/bin) that restarts everything, so those changing the code can experiment easily. I'll raise another issue for this.

Just found something in /AIY-voice-kit-python/src/aiy/_drivers. If you go into _status_ui.py, you can change what the actions do. I changed the ready one to "aiy.voicehat.LED.OFF" because i didn't like the led blinking all the time. Someone else probably found this, but just wanted to share. If you want, you can just change them all to off to do what you want.
