Hello, I had this cool idea the other night: wouldn't it be (fairly easily) possible to create a little component with som LED's which shows the status of some serial port, so you could write some programs to do the following:
~$ ledoff green; someprogramthattakeslong; ledon green (switch the green led on when the program is finished) Or maybe 3 leds (red,orange,green) to show memory/cpu usage? I think this would be really cool. Anyone some pointers how this would work or why this cannot work? Where should I look for info? I don't want to kill my serial ports :) Arnout
