ESPLiveBackLight

This is a completed-ish work that uses

  • Python (TKinter, mss, and NumPy mainly)
  • the ESP8266 Microcontroller (using the very well written FastLED library)
  • the WS2812B led chip
  • 3D printing through FreeCAD
  • Circuit board design through KiCAD

Provides a fast, fully customizable backlight that updates with the colors on the margin of your screen.

Features and todo

  • Close to icon tray
  • Consume less than 7% CPU with an AMD Ryzen 1600 and using 24FPS
  • Allow full customize sequence for multiple monitors
  • Automatically determine monitor orientation and locations
  • "Compile" and release ready-to-go binary
  • Finish 3D printed track design for easy backlight packaging
  • Finish KiCAD PCB design for more polished end product
  • Post writeup on construction and tutorial on assembly
