Write code that will be triggered once a second (e.g. using a timer) that toggles the led.

How are you controlling the LED ? Qt cannot do that directly.

For the logic,,


myclass::myclass()
{
timer.setInterval(1000); // 1Hz = 1 sec
}

void startBlinkLED()
{
timer.start()
count = 0;
}

void onTimerTimeout()
{
if( count++ > 5)
{ count = 0;
timer.stop();
return;
}

led->blink(); // Actual API to be called
}

i work on linux platform
for turning on led system("echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/highbright-led/brightness")
and turning off system("echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/highbright-led/brightness")

anyway tanx for the reply aamer4yu ..i wil make some changes and i will check whether it is working or not... :)

sammey,


It is unusual perform control of hardware devices at X86 platform, as was implicitly mentioned by aamer4yu.
I presume you are working on some embedded linux platform such as an ARM one.
If the case, take a look on source code examples which is commonly provided at design tool ( hello word / blink led / etc... )
