I have an APC mini which works great and I can control the button colours using virtual console widgets. What I want to do is sequentially control button colour so they act as next cue operators. So lets say I am starting with the top left button and I set the off colour to yellow, then when I press the button it changes to blinking yellow and when the action stops I want it to go to red and set the button below to yellow. And so on and so on.
I'm assuming that I would have to script this action but I'm not sure how to issue the colour change sequence to the APC mini. Currently that is handled within the widget.

So I figured out how to put the APCmini on another universe and configure it as an output device. Now I can control LED colours as Note On commands from simple desk or a widget using a dummy fixture.
Next step is to try and write a script to do this which of course will need some logical operators.

first, put the APC on its own universe, select it in input and feedback
then use the following for the LEDs to work :
Lower value is the OFF function, and Upper value is the ON function
on the APC mini i use them like this:
0=off
2= green led
4= green flashing
6= red led
8= red flashing
10= yellow led
12= yellow flashing
so if u put for example
lower value= 0
upper value=2
u have it off and green on when active

tried your comments but still i cannot turn off using 0 value, but now it's working using 1 lower value to turned off and start with upper value to 3 to lights on in color green and so on. i don't know why if the 0 lower value was not working.
