ArduinoBusylight

ArduinoBusylight is a simple, low-budget Arduino-based busylight for Microsoft Lync / Skype for Business. It's easy to build and really makes your desk look uber-nerdy. This repository includes a C# agent that automatically updates the LED color once your Lync/SfB availability status has changed.

Requirements

In order to get things running, you will need:

• An Arduino or Genuino (I'm using the Uno model)
• Arduino IDE
• Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 or newer
• Microsoft Lync 2013 SDK (there is no SDK for Skype for Business, yet)

For the cabling you will need:

• A piezo sound module (for incoming calls, agent integration will follow)
• A RGB multi-color LED
• three 220k resistors
• Some cables and a breadbord

Cabling

See the attached Fritzing sketch for cabling details:

Installation

The installation is quite easy:

1. Download the Arduino sketch from the arduino_busylight folder and flash it to your Arduino
2. Compile the Windows application from the ArduinoBusylight folder (or download a pre-built release, will follow)
3. Start the application, right-click the tray icon and select Configure. Configure your COM port and baud rate and click Save
