I ordered some LED's, sockets, 2n2222 transistors and some 12V relays today.

What do you all think of this plan:

USB->UART (buy it)

UART->LOGIC output (build it: see falstad/video)

LOGIC->RELAY (buy it)

POWER- through relay (spare 12v from shucked HDD's)

Automotive/pinball LED T10 bulbs in sockets mounted to PCB or 3D printed structure. (buy it)

My python code sends data out of the serial port if Teams is On a call and sends nothing otherwise.

The circuit turns the LED red when it sees pulses and leaves it red for a second or so. As long as it gets serial data once a second or so the LED stays on. If anything goes wrong it goes off

Would you buy a serial to on/off GPIO output module like this?

I have simmed and soldered and achieved blinky blinky!

Next step. It's not bright enough. Buying a logic level relay and some T10 LED bulbs. I'm going to try some things.

I have an old #Dietz lantern that I was given by my cousin. I'm doing a project to add an on-air light to teams when in a call in Teams. This post is step one.

This has to work without IT permission, so I'm doing it from #chrome using the devtools interface. I'm kinda surprised #Microsoft hasn't tried to block this method.

My colleague also has an on air light, so I'll have two users right off the bat.

Microsofts neuer Servicevertrag erlaubt #Totalüberwachung aller Nutzer
"Ab Ende diesen Monats gelten neue Geschäftsbedingungen für Microsoft-Kunden. Wenn sie sich bei der Nutzung mehrerer Produkte (Betriebssystem, Software & Cloud-Dienste) nicht an deren vage formulierten Verhaltenskodex halten, kann das Microsoft-Konto gesperrt werden. Man verliert dann den Zugriff auf alle bezahlten oder kostenlosen Dienste und alle dort gespeicherten Daten. Auch wird #Microsoft mit den Behörden kooperieren. Die Regressansprüche aufgrund der Sperrungen hat man übrigens nicht minder vage formuliert."
