Description blink(1) mk3

  • Freely programmable LED status light with USB connection
  • Informs you with different colors about all desired processes and news
  • Incl. USB extension cable
  • Open source hardware and software.
Forget what you think you know about ordinary status lights. blink(1) mk3 is not a monotonously flickering light on the edge of your keyboard, but the most flexible and pleasant status indicator of all. Now the next question is, what does it show... Actually everything, at least everything you want. :)

You only have to do two things first: plug in blink(1) and download and install the control app from the manufacturer's website. Here you will also find the link to further software. Now there are no limits, you can set any type of notification you like. For example, blink(1) could indicate whether you have new e-mails. Or if there are new tweets. Whether your orders are on the way. The status of various background processes. Calls, appointments, alerts and anything else you can think of are displayed by the small LED without you having to constantly check everything individually. You can connect web services such as Twitter via IFTTT.
The entire hardware and software of blink(1) is open source.

Of course, you can not only decide what blink(1) displays, but also how. You can set up individual displays using color, brightness and light patterns. For calls from the boss, we recommend a hectic red blink. Perhaps a peaceful green glow for the WLAN at home? ;) blink(1) contains two RGB LEDs that can form all imaginable colors.

The app
The photos give you a first impression of the app and the various possibilities. The first step is to set various personal status displays. For example, choose from the color spectrum which color indicates that you are available, busy or absent. You can also set your own patterns here. There are templates to choose from, e.g. red flashing for absence, but you can of course also program everything yourself. No matter what you try out, blink(1) shows it to you directly and you can see immediately how the display works.

Operation is intuitive: if you want to set a new status, you create a new button, give it a name and select the color, light duration, light pattern and save the whole thing as a new pattern. Old patterns can be changed or deleted at any time.

To connect applications via IFTTT, you need the IFTTT key of your blink(1), which is displayed in the app (see photo). Then you can create an IFTTT account (free of charge, of course). You then set up everything else directly via IFTTT - don't worry, that's really easy too ;) If you have added an application, e.g. Twitter, to IFTTT, all you have to do is add the name you have chosen in the app and, of course, select a light pattern.
Notifications for your email accounts can again be set up directly in the app. Enter your name, username and password, select IMAP or POP and create a pattern for how your emails should be displayed ;)

You can do the same with hardware. Under Tools there is also the option to create messages for documents, scripts and more.

All possible settings are explained in detail directly in the app under the "Help" tab. Even if it looks complicated at first glance, you really don't need any special knowledge to program blink(1)!

On the left in the app, in addition to the status, serial number and IFTTT key of the blink(1), you can also see which pattern is currently playing and, under Recent Events, what has recently happened and was displayed by blink(1).

There are official APIs for the following programming languages, more are in the works:

C / C++ / Objective-C / Qt
Java
Processing
Python
Node.js
.NET
Ruby
Go
Linux kernel

Each blink(1) comes with a 150 cm long USB extension cable so that the status display does not have to sit directly on your computer. If all USB ports are actually on the back of your computer ;) You can also use the cable to inform colleagues, for example, if you don't want to be disturbed, or simply close the laptop, put it to one side and wait for news from a distance.

blink(1) is easily compatible with all operating systems. All you need is a USB port. You can also combine several blink(1), as many connections as you have, as many blink(1) you can use.

We are sure that over time you will come up with more and more ideas of what blink(1) could display for you. You can also find new ideas on the manufacturer's website linked above. After a while, blink(1) will save you time and effort, as you will no longer have to check every second to see if there is finally a reaction to your last tweet...

ja, nettes Spielzeug. Eine vernünftige Anleitung wäre wünschenswert, damit man sich nicht alles über z.B. IFTTT zusammensuchen muss.

Für einen USB-Stick mit zwei LEDs mag der aufgerufene Preis etwas hoch sein. Ein Bastler bekommt das sicher günstiger hin. Das Gerät und die dazugehörige Software sind aber durchdacht, ausgereift und sofort bereit zur Benutzung. Wer eine Statusleuchte (z.B. fürs Monitoring seines Webservers) sucht und nicht viel Zeit in die Hardware-Bastelei investieren möchte ist hier genau richtig. Kaufe mir gleich noch zwei weitere Blink(1)s

Für mich ist das blink mk2 zu kompliziert in der Programmierung.
Die Idee ist genial (fünf Sterne), die Software unverständlich (ein Stern).
Wenn die Software einfach wird, dann gibt es fünf Sterne.
