I have although, we are on windows. You will need a hardware controller of some kind. We used a usb device that came with drivers for windows/linux, and source code. It is a stoplight. I setup a cron like task on the machine that the light is plugged in to. It read a file off the network that our build process wrote out. Writing the light "client" in python would be trivial, even writing some kind of xml http api to make it less fragile.
For us, Red for build failed, yellow for build in progress, green for everything is great. http://www.delcom-eng.com/products_USBTLamps.asp - Joshua On Wed, Feb 11, 2009 at 2:01 PM, Christopher Hiller <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > We have an automated build process and I would like to integrate it with > red/green lava lamps or something of that sort.
