Chameleon-Mini
LED functionality

For giving user feedback, ChameleonMini provides two LEDs that can be configured to indicate various conditions, events, or internal state changes of ChameleonMini: a red LED and a green LED. Their individual configuration is controlled with the commands LEDRED and LEDGREEN, which can be called in the getting ("?"), setting ("=") and suggesting ("=?") variants.

The following table shows the currently supported LED functions.

Condition/Event Description
NONE Nothing happens, the LED remains dark.
POWERED The LED lights up, if the ChameleonMini is powered by USB or by battery.
TERMINAL_CONN The LED is turned on when the ChameleonMini is connected via USB and is turned off when no USB connection is established.
TERMINAL_RXTX The LED blinks shortly when sending or receiving data via the USB interface.
SETTING_CHANGE The LED blinks one time if the new setting is setting 1, two times for setting 2, ..., eight times for setting 8.
MEMORY_STORED The LED flashes everytime when a setting is stored to the permanent flash. This is currently the case when calling the command STORE, the button event STORE_MEM occurs or the setting is changed.
MEMORY_CHANGED The LED turns on when the content of the FRAM has been modified and is turned off when the currently active setting is written to the permanent Flash memory. Thus, this function indicates when the current content has been changed.
CODEC_RX The LED flashes when the currently active codec (e.g. ISO14443A emulation) receives data via the RFID interface. Note that this is implemented on the codec layer and the flashing is triggered before the received data is interpreted by the application.
CODEC_TX The LED flashes when the currently active codec sends data via the RFID interface. This function is also implemented on the codec layer.
FIELD_DETECTED The LED is turned on, if a reader field is detected via the RSSI module (when the RSSI value hits a hardcoded threshold, it is assumed that there is a reader field). It is irrelevant whether the field comes from another reader or from the ChameleonMini itself.
LOGMEM_FULL Lights up the LED, if the SRAM log memory is full.
