LEDWiz Command Line Program
« on: February 20, 2009, 01:20:38 pm »
I am using the LEDWiz to open and close a series of 5V valves.  Creating the .LWA files for each individual sequence is easy using notepad, however, I need a program to execute the LWA files.  As has been said, the included LWSend does not work, and searching the forums I have found a few which seem like they would (SwiftLED), but they are no longer being hosted. 

What would you recommend for such an application?  As I said, I am looking for the easiest command line interface for running an LWA file a single time, rather than in a loop.

Thanks so much for your help.

Thanks, I'll begin experimenting.  Tell me if I'm wrong, but it looks like I can assign each LW output to one of the "Available Controls", but how do I specify the length of time each one is left on?  Thanks for your quick reply

Check out LEDBlinky. It can run .lwa files from command line --> LEDBlinky.exe <.lwa>
You can also use the animation editor rather than notepad to create the sequences - it creates .lwax files (xml version of lwa).

Thanks so much, LEDBlinky works great!  Now the only thing left to do is figure out how to tell it to run a lwax file once rather than looping.  Or do I need to put a long pause as the last frame of each file and then run the "Animation Stop" command during the pause time frame?  It doesnt look like a single loop functionality is built in but I wanted to check.  Thanks again.

I didn't realise LEDBinky worked via command line. Thats good to know :)

It actually does have a single loop function - but I never exposed that via the command line option. If it's not too involved, I'll add that to the next release - which is currently in beta.
