Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to send a signal to enable(preferably pulsing) the LED lights on the "user 1" and/or "user2" buttons on the std operating panel. That way the operator knows their intervention is necessary and also which button(s) to press. Under the I/O menu you can manually turn the lights on (in this case SO[5] and SO[6]) but doing so in a tp program seems illusive...maybe interconnect the SO signal to a DO?
Thanks!
Any way to pulse SOP lights to alert operator? rj3-ib controller

Best bet is to do it in Karel.

Assuming your controller has BG logic, you could try the output strobe method in the sticky BG logic thread at the top of this forum.
Output Strobe
We put three color stack lights on our controllers, and I use this routine to make the yellow light flash when I turn on F[1]
IF (F[1] AND !F[3]),F[2]=PULSE,0.2sec
IF (F[1] AND !F[2]),F[3]=PULSE,0.2sec
IF (!F[1]),F[2]=(OFF)
IF (!F[1]),F[3]=(OFF)
DO[1:Light]=(F[2]) -
It looks like my controller doesn't have the KAREL or BG Logic options. Thanks for your suggestions anyway.
