Re: [AFMUG] LED colors and color blindness

I am color blind, and a pilot (but I currently have a night time flying restriction which I'm actually ok with because it's pretty scary to fly thru the mountains at night lol. They just put the restriction on at my medical exam in June and I haven't decided if I want to try to have it lifted by

[AFMUG] LED colors and color blindness

A quick question for those who have problems distinguishing colors or those who know about colorblindness. Let's assume I need to add a set of indicators to some new products. I'm considering using some multicolored leds (aka dual, tri, full) for indication on a single led. For instance

Re: [AFMUG] LED colors and color blindness

I don't know anything about colorblindness, but one mistake I've seen on certain other products is using LEDs that are barely visible in daylight... so that's another thing to keep in mind. On Fri, Sep 11, 2015 at 1:55 PM, Forrest Christian (List Account) < li...@packetflux.com> wrote: > A quick

Re: [AFMUG] LED colors and color blindness

Forrest, We have an employee with this issue and the trick for him is distinguishing between certain shades of green and blue. With some wire and lighting conditions, he will send me a cell phone pic of the wire and ask if the green is on the right or the left.As long as you don't go

Re: [AFMUG] LED colors and color blindness

True, it's not nearly as big of a problem as on a radio, but if it's in a NEMA box on top of a grain leg or something like that, it can still be a problem. On Fri, Sep 11, 2015 at 2:39 PM, Josh Luthman wrote: > In a cabinet though? > > Josh Luthman > Office:

Re: [AFMUG] LED colors and color blindness

I'm color blind. That said, I also have a pilot's license, and have passed a field test authorizing me to fly at night because I am able to distinguish light signals. Not all color blindness is the same. There are varying degrees, as well as specific color issues for many different kinds of

Re: [AFMUG] LED colors and color blindness

I know I can see WB APC cards' LEDs just fine in bright daylight, but that's almost always in a NEMA box. In this same box I can easily see the MT lights that you can't see easily in the truck. Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373 On

Re: [AFMUG] LED colors and color blindness

Orange and Red is a dumb dumb choice. I know there are websites out there that recommend colors based on one you choose (like red contrasts with green or whatever). Two colors next to each other is a clear nono. Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337

Re: [AFMUG] LED colors and color blindness

The biggest problem I've had in NEMA boxes is trying to tell the difference between orange and red on Mikrotik RB750UPs. The other Mikrotik stuff usually isn't too bad and the LEDs on the WB cards seem fine. On Fri, Sep 11, 2015 at 3:04 PM, Josh Luthman wrote: > I

Re: [AFMUG] LED colors and color blindness

I remember Sean Heskitt mentioning a while ago about the epmp GUI in its early stages was hard for him to be able to tell the difference between orange and green. Maybe he will chime in. Cambium listened to him and made it much easier for people of less color to adapt.

Re: [AFMUG] LED colors and color blindness

I have two combinations commonly used on products that are difficult for me to differentiate. Yellow/green as some switches use to indicate 100meg vs 1gig. And red/orange as on the RB750UP look identical to me. The mikrotik FTC11 has a pretty unique combination that seems to work well. Its a
