The application provides both static and dynamic lighting options, enabling users to manually set RGB values or choose from predefined colors.\n\n## Features\n- **Serial Communication**: Connects to the Arduino via a serial port and sends commands.\n- **Predefined Colors**: Choose from colors like red, blue, green, yellow, purple, turquoise, sky blue, and orange.\n- **Manual Color Control**: Adjust RGB values using sliders.\n- **Dynamic Lighting Mode**: Enables automated color transitions with adjustable timing.\n- **Connection Handling**: Handshaking mechanism ensures reliable communication with the Arduino.\n\n## Requirements\n- Windows OS\n- .NET Framework (for running Windows Forms applications)\n- Arduino board with an RGB LED\n- USB cable for serial communication\n\n## Installation\n1. Clone or download the project files.\n2. Open the solution in Visual Studio.\n3. Build and run the application.\n\n## Usage\n### Upload the sketch\n1. Upload the sketch insider `arduino source code` directory.\n\n### Connecting to Arduino\n1. Select the correct **COM port** from the dropdown.\n2. Set the **baud rate** (default: 9600).\n3. Click **CONNECT** to establish communication with the Arduino.\n\n### Controlling the RGB LED\n#### **Static Lighting Mode**\n- Adjust **Red, Green, and Blue** sliders to set a custom color.\n- Click predefined color buttons to quickly switch colors.\n- Use the **Turn Off All Colors** button to reset the LED.\n\n#### **Dynamic Lighting Mode**\n- Click **Dynamic Lighting** to enter automatic mode.\n- Adjust the **speed slider** to set transition delay.\n- Click **Start** to begin the color transitions.\n- Click **Stop** to disable dynamic lighting.\n\n### Disconnecting\n- Click **DISCONNECT** to stop communication and turn off the LED.\n- Closing the application automatically sends a shutdown command to the Arduino.\n\n## Serial Commands Sent to Arduino\n- `1024` – Turns off the LED.\n- `255`, `511`, `767` – Corresponding color values.\n- `9090` – Handshaking response.\n- `10` – Stops dynamic lighting mode.\n- Custom RGB values sent as numeric strings.\n\n## Future Improvements\n- Add support for saving custom colors.\n- Implement a color picker for easier selection.\n- Enhance UI responsiveness.\n\n## License\nThis project is open-source and available under the MIT License.\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fstyropyr0%2Farduino-rgb-controller","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fstyropyr0%2Farduino-rgb-controller","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fstyropyr0%2Farduino-rgb-controller/lists"}
