This is a small console application built on .NET Framework 4 that interfaces with an Arduino board and RGB lighting strip.
The goal was to create a small application that would take the average color of the monitor and light the RGB strip.
Ultimately, this is a .NET version of the code found below. I did this so I could setup a GUI to turn it on/off. The appliation also does its best to detect screen lock to turn on/off, if you want.
For the most part, buying accessories and getting a motherboard with RGB inputs deprecated this application.
I followed the instructions found from this post to setup the board.
