*
- * Hotmail Email Notifier Project. This project is designed for the Busware BUI board, however it can run easily on any
- * USB AVR. It consists of a host application (written in C#) and a device firmware which work together to provide a
- * visual mail notification system via the board's RGB LED. While the sample host application uses the Windows Live
- * Messenger API for its email notifications, the hardware simply adjusts the LED color based on bytes sent to it - thus
- * with a little coding, this project can be adapted for any sort of visual notification.
+ * USB LED Notifier Project. This project is designed for the Busware BUI board, however it can run easily on any
+ * USB AVR. It is a generic RGB LED controller (via a three channel software PWM) which listens for commands from the
+ * host on a CDC virtual serial port. When new commands are received, it updates the board LEDs.
*
- * To compile the host application, you will need Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 (the free Express edition should be
- * sufficient) as well as a recent version of Windows Live Messenger installed. When run, you will need to set the COM port
- * number used by the hardware on the host PC, whereupon the host will send new email notifications to the device.
+ * This can be controlled with any host application that can write to the virtual serial port, allowing it to become
+ * a visual notification system for any number of custom host applications, such as a new unread email notifier.
