Asus G50vt trackpad LED

I was reading this thread and wondering if the same is possible for the lights around the trackpad.

Can I disable it? It reflects badly on my monitor and I'm using a cut up dvd case to cover it =p

 

2 months later bump. It's still annoying me.

 

bump bump!!

 

Hey merc,

Do you use/have you heard of LCD Hype? Predator_MF made a plugin to disable certain lights on the laptop. The only successful ones for me were the bluetooth light (which did nothing for me) and the touchpad light, so I have a line in my script to disable the touchpad light once it runs. It doesn't affect the actual touchpad at all.

 

Hey mate, that would be PERFECT. Mind linking it?

 

This isn't a one click process unfortunately:

Plugin for LED (extract to the LCDHype plugin folder!): http://lcdhype.condense.de/index.php?showtopic=4746

Then insert this code into the graphics mode of whatever script you choose:

Code:

/Turn off Touchpad LED/
%UsePlugin('GLED\GLED.dll','LED', 0, 0)

Hope this helps!

 

I installed the plugin, and enabled it in the "lcd configuration", but I don't think I'm doing the script right.

How does that look to you? am I close? It's not working, yet.

Can you lead me from here? I really have no idea what I'm doing =p

 

Just click Go You got everything else afaik!

If that doesn't work, paste the following code into the header and then double click the script name again (Unnamed).

Code:

%Graph.SetTextArea(0,0,255,31)
%Common.SetPriority(4000) /updates the screen every 4 seconds (4000 ms)/

If you need help making/getting a script tell me. I'm not as good as SICOPOLY or Predator_MF but 've made a few of my own

 

Damn. that's what I did but no luck =(

Could you upload the script you're using that's confirmed working?

 

Oi the script I have going right now is a bit too... complicated for me to post. I'd need a bit to edit stuff and you'd need everest running and configured properly for it to look correct. Here's a test script, however, that should let you know if things are working properly:

Code:

#Header

%Graph.SetTextArea(0,0,255,31)
%Common.SetPriority(25)
%CleanUp.Free(x)
%CleanUp.Free(y)
%CleanUp.Free(dx)
%CleanUp.Free(dy)
%CleanUp.Free(p1)
%CleanUp.Free(p2)
%DefVar(x, Global=0)
%DefVar(y, Global=0)
%DefVar(dx,Global=2)
%DefVar(dy,Global=1)

#EndHeader


#GfxMode


%Common.CreateNewLine(,0,0)
%Common.CreateNewLine(,%x(),%y())
o
%If((%x()>252) OR (%x() < 0)) Then{%Assign(dx,%Mul(%dx(),-1))}
%If((%y()>20) OR (%y() < -4)) Then{%Assign(dy,%Mul(%dy(),-1))}
%Assign(x,%Inc(%x(),%dx()))
%Assign(y,%Inc(%y(),%dy()))

/Turn off Touchpad LED/
%UsePlugin('GLED\GLED.dll','LED', 0, 0)

#EndGfxMode

If this works then you should see a bouncing 'o' in your screen, and your touchpad LED should turn off. If you see the bouncing o but the LED is still on, there's a problem with where you extracted the plugin to. Make sure it's extracted to your plugins folder in LCD Hype.

For less fun, annoyingness, and CPU usage, the following script will suffice if all goes well:

Code:

#Header

%Graph.SetTextArea(0,0,256,31)
%Common.SetPriority(1000)

#EndHeader

#GfxMode

%Common.CreateNewLine(,0,)
%Graph.Font('Tahoma',18,1,)

'hello there, merc!'

/Turn off Touchpad LED/
%UsePlugin('GLED\GLED.dll','LED', 0, 0)

#EndGfxMode

Alternatively, if you describe what kind of script you'd like/what stats you'd like onscreen, I can do that too.

Attached is my current screen setup as kind of a portfolio of what I can do. On the left is a battery meter, which changes from % left to minutes left once unplugged, along with the current CPU speed, GPU throttle state (I=idling) and GPU temp. All this info is from Everest.
On the right are dot bars of how much memory/CPU are currently being used with some rounding involved. There's also a little message saying I love my girlfriend but I edited her name out since she'd probably go nuts if she found out I posted her name on the internet like that. I'm sure you can relate kind of not really

Hope this helps, sorry it's not exactly what you wanted...

 

OK, the bouncing o works, but the trackpad light is still on. I double checked my plugin location and it's in...

C:\Program Files (x86)\LCDHype\plugins

which I believe is correct. Thanks for the making the scripts, I was hoping I was making a stupid mistake but I guess not.

Any other ideas? I'm thinking it might just be my laptop version (x5)..or maybe the fact that I'm using a 64-bit OS? Is there a way I can check if my plugin is working?

Hm alrighty. It could be that the newer version of LCD Hype is interfering with something. Let's see if it's referencing things correctly:

My full path to my GLED.dll is as follows:
C:\Program Files (x86)\LCDHype\plugins\GLED\GLED.dll

Which yields the following code you've seen a million times now:

Code:

%UsePlugin('[B]GLED\GLED.dll[/B]','LED', 0, 0)

You can see how LCD Hype references the DLL. Make sure your DLL is in the same relative spot (in a folder within your plugins folder) and see how that behaves.

If that fails, here's a .zip of the exe of my (older) version of LCD Hype. Replace the existing lcdhype.exe with this one (remember to rename the old one or something so you can reverse it if needed!)

PS: Thanks for the rep, glad to help with your screen after you helped with mine

 

Sorry for the late reply. No luck =(
