LED Wiz / LED Blinky - turn off on shutdown
« on: July 01, 2010, 12:54:25 am »
Hello all,

I've got a cabinet that has an LED Wiz, some RGB's in the buttons, and I'm running an older version of LED Blinky.

Problem is- I have a button that causes a windows shutdown when I want to power the machine down.   Thing is, the LEDs remain in whatever state they were in at the time the shutdown/power up button is pressed after the PC shuts down.   This has caused one of my blue LEDs to actually go out in one of the buttons and I can tell a couple others are beginning to go weak - this is after only a little less than a year's usage.

I'd like to know a way to issue an all off command before the shutdown happens.   I've tried a couple things now with no success.   Anyone got a script or some other method to get this done?   I've done a bunch of searching with no luck so far.

FWIW this is an XP box running MALA, LED Blinky, LED Wiz, etc...

Thanks in advance.

Create a batch or script file and execute this command:
"<path>\ledblinky\ledblinky.exe" 2
Robots will kill you.

Cool, I'll give that a try -- tried something similar (can't remember the value I used) and it prevented the machine from shutting down.  We'll see if this works better, or maybe I need to cause the script to execute in a different manner (I used group policy editor to set the shutdown script).

Thanks
