Facility Control

Hi,
I'm messing around with Dashboard trying to setup a way to have one dashboard monitor another via rosstalk commands and status dot parameters. I tried looking around and I don't really see a whole lot of documentation on how they work as far as setting the values and colors of the dots. Any idea on how I can program these to change colors based on status updates?

I can drag and drop from a Carbonite dashboard panel but it doesn't really give me a whole lot of information on how the status dot is actually controlled.

Thanks!

Nevermind. I figured it out. You set the value of the dot to the hex color value (i.e. "") and it updates accordingly. I was looking at outdated documentation.

Ohhh ohhh ohhh! I know this one!

I knew I had seen this somewhere in DashBoard U, in this video!

I've added a simple DashBoard below with 3 buttons changing the value of your LED/Status Dot. It's simply setting the value of the parameter to '' with the 00 pairs as hex values of the RGB value.

Enjoy! :D

<abs contexttype="opengear" gridsize="20" id="_top">
   <meta>
      <params>
         <param access="1" maxlength="0" name="LED" oid="LED" type="STRING" value="&lt;#ff0000&gt;" widget="dot"/>
      </params>
   </meta>
   <param expand="true" height="80" left="220" oid="LED" top="160" width="40"/>
   <button buttontype="push" height="80" left="260" name="RED" top="160" width="140">
      <task tasktype="ogscript">params.setValue('LED', 0, '&lt;#ff0000&gt;');</task>
   </button>
   <button buttontype="push" height="80" left="420" name="YELLOW" top="160" width="140">
      <task tasktype="ogscript">params.setValue('LED', 0, '&lt;#ffff00&gt;');</task>
   </button>
   <button buttontype="push" height="80" left="580" name="GREEN" top="160" width="140">
      <task tasktype="ogscript">params.setValue('LED', 0, '&lt;#00ff00&gt;');</task>
   </button>
</abs>

But yes... I didnt find any good information on how this was done either, I just remember I had seen it somewhere...
