LEDs

As the device layout shows, the neoVI PLASMA has many LEDs.  There are 2 top facing LEDs for the SD cards and 10 front facing LEDs (Figure 1) that indicate device conditions as described in Table 1.



Figure 1: These LEDs indicate the status of some neoVI PLASMA features.

LED Control, Colors, and Mapping (for advanced users)

All front facing LEDs can be controlled using a Vehicle Spy CoreMini script.  All of the LEDs are multicolor, including those used for backlighting the buttons.

One way to control a neoVI PLASMA LED in Vehicle Spy is to follow these steps:
  1. Use 2 function block script "Set Value" commands to control the LED color and value.


  2. In VSpy Expression Builder, Physical IO, LEDs:


  3. neo0-ld#-1-index(0) = Color   ...where Color is 0 to 7...see below*

    neo0-ld#-0-index(0) = Value   ...where Value is 0 (off) or 1 (on)


    [# is the VSpy # number to change in Table 2 below]


  4. Run the function block script as CoreMini in neoVI PLASMA.
* LED colors can be any of these values:

0 black | 1 red | 2 green | 3 yellow | 4 blue | 5 magenta | 6 cyan | 7 white
