* fit-statUSB is a programmable fingernail-size color LED that plugs into a USB port.
* fit-statUSB provides status indication by changing the LED color, brightness and color cycle.
* fit-statUSB identifies to the PC as a serial device and changes the LED color by text commands received over the serial port.
* See [https://edge.compulab.com/store/fit-statusb/ fit-statUSB product page]

== Commands ==
=== General ===
Commands to fit-statUSB are sent over serial port. No need to configure the baudrate, fit-statUSB adjusts automatically.
Each command ends with a LF and executed immediately.

=== Set color ===
#RRGGBB
* RR | GG | BB - HEX value of red, green, blue respectively
fit-statUSB will set the intensity of each of the colors.

'''Examples:''' 
To set dim green
#001200
To set bright yellow combine red and green
#FFFF00

=== Set color sequence ===
Set a sequence of alternating colors. The sequence will cycle endlessly until a new color command is entered.
B#RRGGBB-tttt#RRGGBB....
* RR | GG | BB - HEX value of red, green, blue respectively
* tttt - time until next color is displayed

'''Examples:''' 
Pulsing red color
B#FF0000-0200#000000-0600
Alternating red-blue
B#FF0000-1000#0000FF-1000
Cycle of red 0.1 sec - yellow 0.1 sec -white 1 sec - off 0.3 sec
B#FF0000-0100#FFFF00-0100#FFFFFF-1000#000000-0300

=== Set color transition period ===
Set how quickly current color fades to the next color.
Fnnnn
* nnnn - transition time in mS. Permitted values: 0001 (immediate) to 9999 (slowest transition, 10 seconds)
Transition period is persistent until a new F command is entered. 
For B command the F value will determine transition period between colors.

=== other (less common) commands ===
* P - Enter Device firmware update mode
* ? - Return device UUID #
* G - Return current color, (rr,gg,bb)

== Using fit-statUSB in Windows ==
=== Drivers ===
* [https://fit-iot.com/files/download/accessories/fit-statusb/sw/Win7/msp430_ti_signed.inf Fit-statUSB Windows 7 driver]
* [https://fit-iot.com/files/download/accessories/fit-statusb/sw/Win8.1/msp430_cdc.zip Fit-statUSB Windows 8.1 driver]
* Additional drivers are not required for Windows 10 operating systems

=== Using fit-statUSB from terminal ===
* Open a terminal utility with serial port support (e.g. [https://ttssh2.osdn.jp Teraterm])
* Establish new connection to the serial port assigned to fit-statUSB (in TeraTerm: File --> New connection --> Serial (select COMn: USB Serial Device)
* Type a command, e.g. #FF0000 (fit-statUSB should turn RED)
Note there is no command editing (no backspace / delete). If you mistype please start a new command.
=== Using fit-statUSB from command line ===
echo [command] > \\.\[com port]
* [command] - the command sent to fit-statUSB over serial
* [com port] - the COM port assigned to fit-statUSB

'''Example:'''
Assuming fit-statUSB is on COM10 the following command will set fit-statUSB color to red:
echo #FF0000 > \\.\COM10

=== Detect COM port of fit-statUSB ===
==== From Device Manager ====
Under device manager | Ports (COM & LPT) 
look for
USB Serial Device (COMn)
* n - COM port number
==== From command line ====
To identify which COM port is assigned to fit-statUSB use '''mode''' command
mode

You will receive a list of COM ports. fit-statUSB listing on COM10 looks like that:

Status for device COM10:
------------------------
Baud: 9600
Parity: None
Data Bits: 8
Stop Bits: 1
Timeout: ON
XON/XOFF: OFF
CTS handshaking: OFF
DSR handshaking: OFF
DSR sensitivity: OFF
DTR circuit: OFF
RTS circuit: OFF

=== PowerShell ===
powershell "$fitstatUSB= new-Object System.IO.Ports.SerialPort [com port]; $fitstatUSB.open(); $fitstatUSB.WriteLine('[command]'); $fitstatUSB.Close()"
* [command] - the command sent to fit-statUSB over serial
* [com port] - the COM port assigned to fit-statUSB

'''Example:'''
Assuming fit-statUSB is on COM10 the following command will set fit-statUSB color to red:
powershell "$fitstatUSB= new-Object System.IO.Ports.SerialPort COM10; $fitstatUSB.open(); $fitstatUSB.WriteLine('#FF0000'); $fitstatUSB.Close()"

== Using fit-statUSB in Linux ==
=== Using fit-statUSB from terminal ===
==== Using Bash Command line ====
* First you need to configure the Serial port
sudo stty -F /dev/ttyACM0 9600 raw -echo -echoe -echok -echoctl -echoke
* Send the command directly to the TYY port
echo "B#FF0000-1000#00FF00-500" > /dev/ttyACM0
- Please note that some Linux distributions will require sudo privileges to echo directly to serial

==== Sample Python code ====
* Python dependencies: pyserial
import serial 
ser = serial.Serial("/dev/ttyACM0")
ser.write(b"B#FF0000-500#00FF00-500#0000FF-500\n")
ser.close()
- Note that new line must be addded at the end of the command String

=== Detect fit-statUSB Serial Port ===
To Detect the system assigned TTY device:
sudo dmesg
Look for fit_StatUSB String and its assigned TTY device
