Controlling Pandora L E D S -

I still want a program to watch an RSS feed, change the characters to Morse and then blink that at me.

It can probably be done with a bash script using the morse program from the BSD games package

$ echo "hellolo" | morse -s
 ....

now pipe this to a script that sets the leds and it's done.

The part that reads rss is left as a trivial exercise to the reader

And if you have a media player capable of playing .3gp - here is a 5 sec video taken with my ancient phone of the above script running.

Windows Media Player can run it fine although it says that it wont support it.

Windows Media Player can run it fine although it says that it wont support it.

It's H.263 video and AMR-NB audio. The AMR is usually the problem point in .3gp support for media players. In this case there is very little to the audio so if it was the audio codec that wasnt there you didnt miss a bit.
