Busy Light is a status indicator that tells your family and friends when you are busy.

A Bit Story

The Pandemic has shown us the importance of online meetings. Some of us have even started to work online permanently. But sometimes, our family members call us in between online meetings as they might not be aware if we are busy in a meeting.

Working From Home, Just Got Better! Busy Light is a status indicator that tells your family when you are busy. Busy Light simplifies your Home Office experience, increases your daily productivity, and improves work-life balance.

We have used an Arduino Uno board and connected an RGB LED light to it. There are 4 push buttons connected to the Arduino Uno board.

3 of the push buttons are responsible for controlling the ON state of the Red, Green and Blue of the RGB LED.

The fourth Push button is responsible for switching OFF the LED light.
