@mugenbb6

Good news! It works for me too hence everything seems to be working. I'll do packaging later on. Thank you for the testing!

Cheers!

@mugenbb6

I've created a PPA https://launchpad.net/~merelin/+archive/mediasmartserverd.
Think lucid should be OK for you. Please install and give your feedback.

Cheers!

Took a little bit of fiddling with stuff, but I have the addresses for H341.

HDD 1 Red : 0x59
HDD 2 Red : 0x58
HDD 3 Red : 0x4E or 0x56
HDD 4 Red : 0x51

HDD 1 Blue : 0x4B or 0x53
HDD 2 Blue : 0x4C or 0x54
HDD 3 Blue : 0x52
HDD 4 Blue : 0x50

i Red : 0x18
i Blue : 0x0A
Power : 0x1B
USB : 0x12

I plugged them into led_acerh340.h and changed detection to accept DID/VID combo from H341 and all LEDs are working flawlessly on my H341:


Cheers

sparkvolt

If you sent me a patch or a pull request I would merge it and made a new version. Please try not to break the H340 functionality.

Cheers.

Hello!

tried that by changing the lines to ur code in led_acerh340.h. Could u please also post the changes for the did_vid part? I ahve no idea to figure that out or better: post the whole led_acerh340.h

The output I get is:

So it still doesn't use the led_acerh340.h

Thanks, Holger

I'll search the forum too but will appreciate if anybody can refer me to a similar effort to control the ex495 LEDs under freenas.thanks

The DID/VID for H341 is same as HP EX485. The DID/VID is 0x29168086.

sparkvolt thank you for the code. Merelin and I have integrated it into mediasmartserverd and it is now available through his git and ppa.

I also forked his git and added some functionality to the "i" LED. If you run it with the option --update-monitor (-u) the LED will light up
blue if updates are available, purpel if security updates are available and red if a reboot is required (the update rate is currently 15 minutes because i didn't want to check every second for something like this).
This functionality still has to be thoroughly tested though.

If anybody is interested in testing it its available here: https://github.com/kbehren/mediasmartserverd
Bugreports appreciated, preferably directly through github.

EDIT: The update monitor is intended for ubuntu server, it requires update-notifier-common to be installed.

Its been a long time since I've been here and I am amazed to see what happened in between here

My trusty H340 works very well but in the meantime, I've outgrown it a little bit. Therefore, I bought a new mainboard (a AsRock Z77E-ITX along with a i3-3220T).

A friend from our company's hw-department (who coincidentially has the same system) created a small replacement PCB which is driven by a coldfire V1. This CPU will take care of the Enabling of the backplane power, the LED and Fan-control. The PCB is connected to the mainboard via USB and all communication is running over a ttyACM device; I'm currently developing the software daemon.

The PCB is shorter than the original one since then I can put an USB 3.0 connector to the front

I will upload the daemon's sources shortly.

So with this replacement PCB we can replace the existing MB and PCB with the ASRock new PCB? Sweet.

Thank you for your work!
There are a few comments:
- I would like to see the mode in which the disk activity shows no red light, but the flashing blue (i.e., on the reverse - is always switched on, during the work is flashing); all the same, the red light - the symbol of the error;
- it would be a good(?) idea to split the code to the kernel module that performs the basic operation and provides a standard interface in /sys, and user-space utility that controls modes.

You will share the PCB schemes? Sure, many people (and myself) thought about it.

First off thanks for all the work peeps have done on this program. I have mediasmartserver installed using merelin's ppa on ubuntu 12.04. My server has all 4 drive bays occupied with 1 boot drive and 3 drives in a raid 5. When my system boots, I have no individual drive lights, All I have are the single HD activity light. mediasmartserver is running with the --activity and --update-monitor.
The only way I can get my individual lights to turn on is to use --xmas which gives me purple drive lights but the stay on all the time.
If I run without the --xmas the lights go out and it just sits there waiting for something, I have to ctrl+c to kill the command. I've tried --activity and --update-monitor. Neither does anything besides --xmas.

Please try mediasmartserver 0.5.5-1ubuntu1~quantal from my PPA and give me your feedback.
