3 Months Off... Time to Get Modding
hyper999:
So whilst being at uni I put myself together a gaming PC. So the this weekend I've been working on a project to enable me to control the colour of the LEDs in the fans in my PC from an application on my PC.
I'm going to have an ATTiny45 controlling 4 RGB LEDs on each fan.
A single USB serial converter is connected to all the ATTiny's to enable the PC to communicate with them.
I have ordered a serial converter like this one from ebay -
but for prototyping purposes i have been using the converter on board an arduino uno which I have also been using as a programmer.
So far I have written the ATTiny code, built up the circuit on a breadboard, designed a PCB, and written a basic PC app to control it.
The app is fully working but I plan to improve it while I wait for my PCBs to arrive.
