How Does the Project Work?
The display presents three sliders that individually adjust the Red (R), Green (G), and Blue (B) color values of an RGB LED connected to an Arduino. Users control the colors by sliding the sliders, and the changes are transmitted to the Arduino via serial communication. The display also shows the hexadecimal value of the adjusted color in real-time using a Text View component, while the Arduino sends the updated color value back to the display.
Summary of Features:
- Sliders: Precise adjustment of each color channel intensity, ranging from 0 to 255.
- Hexadecimal Display: Color value updated in real-time in the format
#RRGGBB for enhanced technical clarity. - Efficient Communication: The Lumen Protocol library ensures seamless data exchange between the display and Arduino, providing fast and reliable responses.
