Hi All,
My project is a color-based detection device using visual studio and a webcam which I've gotten working. The next phase of the project I'd like to be able to output a signal (when a specific color is detected) to a microcontroller like the Arduino which will in turn produce an output circuit board which I can build up.
I'm wondering what references I can look into in terms of how to link up the Arduino with the code I currently have? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to the forum.

Can you read this bit of your post and tell us what you mean by "produce an output circuit board"

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the welcome! Ooops sorry about that Now that I have been able to isolate and track specific colors through Visual Studio and a webcam, I would like to have an LED/buzzer module/circuit to indicate that the specific color has been identified.
Laptops don't have GPIO pins so I will need to use the USB/com port to communicate with an Arduino board (which has the output pins) which will in turn produce a digital on/off output to power a small LED/buzzer circuit. Can anyone please point to me on what particular topics or references to read up on seeing as I'm fairly new to Arduino? Thanks and have a good day all.
