Activity Light was created by chuckp47
We would like our LinuxCNC system to control an activity light. This would be a red light on the machine active when the motors are engaged. Does LinuxCNC already have a feature to control such a thing? Where should I look to find the interface?
We are using a Mesa board and a Raspberry Pi. Can I route a control signal through to an output pin on the Mesa board?

Thank you.

something like this

Replace board and pins accordingly.

Maybe the hal pin "halui.program.is-running" might be more like what he is after?
