If you’ve installed Debian Squeeze on the PogoPlug you’ll notice there is no longer an `/sys/module/xce/sections/` or `/dev/xce` path for you to echo commands to. However, you can still control the LEDs by using the sys -> devices -> platform -> LEDS / GPIO
### How to disable the LEDs
echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/leds-gpio/leds/status:red:fault/brightness
echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/leds-gpio/leds/status:green:health/brightness
### How to make the LED green
echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/leds-gpio/leds/status:red:fault/brightness
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/leds-gpio/leds/status:green:health/brightness
### How to make the LED red
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/leds-gpio/leds/status:red:fault/brightness
echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/leds-gpio/leds/status:green:health/brightness
### How to make the LED orange / yellow
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/leds-gpio/leds/status:red:fault/brightness
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/leds-gpio/leds/status:green:health/brightness
You can also try using values `1-255` to control the brightness but I didn’t see much difference between different numbers. ymmv.
Also, if you wish to read the status of the LEDs you can do so by using something like `cat` with these paths:
cat /sys/devices/platform/leds-gpio/leds/status:red:fault/brightness
A value of `0` indicates the LED is off.
Most likely if you are running Debian there will be no events that turn the LEDs on – but in case you have issues you can disable system events from triggering the LEDS you also need to change the ‘triggers’ – first check out the existing ones:
cat /sys/devices/platform/leds-gpio/leds/status:green:health/trigger
This results in:
[none] nand-disk timer oneshot ide-disk1 ide-disk2 heartbeat gpio default-on mmc0
And for the red led use:
cat /sys/devices/platform/leds-gpio/leds/status:red:fault/trigger
Which should result in:
[none] nand-disk timer oneshot ide-disk1 ide-disk2 heartbeat gpio default-on mmc0
Next, to disable the events from triggering the LEDs run:
echo none > /sys/devices/platform/leds-gpio/leds/status:green:health/trigger
echo none > /sys/devices/platform/leds-gpio/leds/status:red:fault/trigger
