That's the part I'm not sure about. My programming knowledge on PC right now extends to the Linux command line only, so all of my starting apps will probably be Linux command line apps. I would like a GUI for Windows but don't know of an easy language to do that. I also don't know how to access the serial port in Windows. Maybe I'll try Visual Basic or something, maybe Visual C++ (I know C++ just not the visual part). For starters I'll probably control it using RealTerm (a fancy terminal program for the serial port), just type in a string of bytes and dump it to the port to change colors. Eventually I'd like a program on my web page (it's going in a server that does have HTTP) to either click on colors or slide 3 sliders per LED to adjust color but I have zero experience in web programming.
