LEDBlinky: How to make one button light up all the time?

[Wavfact]

On my control panel I have a power button.  This isn't mapped to the keyboard, instead it goes to the PC's motherboard to safely shutdown the PC..  Is there a way to make this button always on?

Why try to use LEDBlinky for it?

It's easier to just hardwire the power button LED anode to the operating voltage for your other LEDs and the cathode to ground.
- Depending on the LED specs, you may also need a current limiting resistor.

Ahhh.. this is EXACTLY why I want to use LEDBlinky for it.. Would be MUCH easier than the method you just replied with..

Basically, assign the output in LEDBlinky (GenLEDBLinkyInputMap.exe) to something.  Preferably a front end control label.

Now, in the Controls editor (LedblinkyControlsEditor.exe), in the profiles, edit the <default> profile, add the label you made for the output, and click the "always active" button in the upper right.

At least, that's how I'd approach the problem if I didn't want to hardwire the LEDs.

Honestly though, I'd just hardware it like PL1 said.    Its really not that difficult.   Hell, use the appropriate LED and wire it to the PWR LED on your motherboard - so it lights up with the computer is running (exactly like the PC CASE LEDs do)
