# 2. Now set color of LED

# Let it sleep for a while
time.sleep(5)

setLED(0, 0, 0)
# 4. Return to "default mode" (run)

Let's do some fireworks on your N810!
I'm really sure, that it should work also on N800 and family (770 have led? )

PS. I have just found out strange thing - when I close keyboard while LED is on it automagicaly turns off I must try it
PS2. And also when i lock keypad... It's not a big deal, when you are just blinking LED, but when you must turn it on for a long time, you can set color and sleep for 0.5sec in loop instead of setting color and waiting Xsec.

Edit!
Today I found out this post on some forum: http://forum.mobile-review.com/showpost.php?s=936a897dcf4ba22136a9fb1fc0904dd9&p=2120483&postcount=441
So on N900 (Maemo 5) LED is controlled in similar way, expect thing, that path pattern is like this:
/sys/class/led/[some unique/unknown ID]/brightness
I don't have N900, so i can't try it (and i don't know if my mother and GTranslate translated this post correctly )
I think that it should work
