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.
