OpenMoko FreeRunner LEDs, etc.

April 10th, 2008

Before I took my FreeRunner prototype along to Ole’s OpenMoko talk in London yesterday, I hacked up a little demo application in python/pygtk to display various new features in the FreeRunner (Wifi, accellerometers, LEDs). If you where there yesterday, you probably saw this live in action:

On my previous post OpenMoko post, someone asked about the LEDs on the FreeRunner. Obviously, you can’t see any proof of the LEDs in screenshots, so I took some very quick photographs:

Red LED

Blue LED

Orange LED

    Apart from your python demo app, are there any other of the OM apps already using the LEDs?
