Cool to see that ported, Chris! Are you into porting a tracker such as Gaggle?
I am flying a paraglider myself, so would be interested to help. As for LED. I did a flashlight that is currently in the app store. Here is the state of art: 1. Qt Multimedia's torch mode is promised to come, but does not work yet 2. GStreamer way should work and that's what flashlight uses 3. GStreamer library, however, is not allowed to link to in harbour rules, so you will have to provide your own copy of GStreamer 4. Resource policy is needed, but for now I go around it by just stopping LED whenever app is not maximized. That's not exactly correct, but will do for now 5. Note also that you can start LED in a shell by running gst-launch and.. that is actually a workaround flashlight is using while I am figuring out the resource policy and how to provide gstreamer lib with the app. I hope it helps.
