Hi I was wondering if it is possible to build a CPU usage meter, for a Core 2 Duo CPU.... Using 2 tri-color LED's?
I'm not that hardcore at electronics. But if you got a link... and maybe a diagram, I know someone that could help me out. In my other rig I use the CF635 lcd panel, the one with 4 LED's and keypad..., but I dont have the room for it in the new one.
You need to program a microcontroller to connect to your serial or USB port, and control the LED brightnesses using PWM, depending on what value the computer sends the microcontoller over serial/USB. You also need to find/write the software on the computer to grab the value of CPU usage and send it over serial/USB.
