Build your own LyncDisplayLight.

• Lync 2013 / Skype for Business 2016

• blink(1) SDK: https://github.com/todbot/blink1/tree/master/windows/ManagedBlink1
• Arduino LEDs: https://github.com/grafmar/LyncDisplayLight
• Lync 2013 SDK: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36824

• Download the zipped setup directory available for V0.6.0.0: LyncPresenceBridge_0.6.0.0_Setup.zip or you can also download the source and compile it for yourself.
  • Unzip the file
  • Execute setup.exe which installs it as application
• Plug the LyncDisplayLight device in.
• Open Device Manager to check which serial port it uses (USB-SERIAL CH340 in Ports section)
  • If the device is not recognized correctely you have to install the driver from http://www.arduined.eu/ch340-windows-8-driver-download/
• Start LyncPresenceBridge from start menu (if not started automatically, yet)
• In Taskbar look for the LyncDisplayLight-Symbol. Right-Click -> Settings -> set the Arduino Serial Port -> OK
• It should be possible to set the colors now by Right-Click and choose the status
• Skype for Business or Lync has to be started before starting the LyncPresenceLight. In case it does not connect just Right-Click, Exit and start it again from the start menu
• To automatically start the application on windows startup:
  • From the start menu type LyncPresenceBridge and right-click on it. Choose More -> Open File Location
  • Copy the Application-Link-File
  • Type "Win"+R and enter "shell:startup". This should open the Startup folder.
