We discussed supporting a light tower as in this on amazon.
This will require hardware on the Rosetta board. We will want to define the light language. Let's say that red means ESTOP has been asserted. Ideally the signal to the light would come from the Raspberry Pi. Would we use the yellow light to indicate operating and green to indicate idle? All of these states are best known on the Raspberry Pi, so we would have to make it so three GPIO pins on the hat connector show the state.
Chuck,I always used the green light being on to indicate that the system was “running”. But that’s because the ELFOS would only support one light.
But you bring up some thoughts such as:
- Use a yellow light when an alarm condition arises, and
- Use a red light when a more severe alarm condition occurs (and maybe also trigger an E-stop?).
