Technologies

  • Python
  • NumPy
  • pyserial
  • mss library

Installation

  • You need:
    • Arduino UNO
    • LED strip in needed length
    • 5V DC power supply
  • Setup:
    • Attach LED strip on the back of the screen from left-bottom corner. (Left and right as well as top and bottom must have the same number of LEDs each.)
    • Connect Arduino to your USB port.
    • Connec LED strip to Arduino. Scheme: Scheme
    • Install needed libraries (NumPy, pyserial, mss)
    • Run main.py

Extras

There is also a program that visualizes the captured colors. (gui.py)
