Has anyone run across a light stack (like something that would be on
top of a piece of heavy equipment on a factory floor to tell the
operator that there's a problem that needs addressing) that
- has multiple lights of relatively standard colors (e.g., read,
yellow, green, blue)
- allows each light to be independently controlled (on/off/
flashing)
- allows control via RS-232 or USB (with the latter either
emulating an RS-232 connection via an internal converter or having
Linux 2.6.23+ support)
- has audio output (audio alarm)
- has software volume control for the audio
- (bonus) allows programmable audio files for driving the audio
output
I know Patlight makes some stuff that comes close, but they don't seem
to have software volume control or RS-232/USB support.
Anyone seen anything that would fit the bill?
Thanks
Jeff

Here's a selection of light towers:
http://www.signaworks.com/tower/
Some have audio alarms.
Here's one that talks DeviceNet:

You can get devices (usually called "Master Simulators") which
will connect USB to DeviceNet.

Without the audio part, one interesting thing I also found in this
context was http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2008/06/blinkmsmart_led_now_in_=

Might i suggest that you take a look at mil-std-1742? It is available
for free, just search a bit.
