Detect "reddish" pixels and send string to COM-port - (Locked)

[Atmoz]

Hi all,

I am creating a sort of "4D-experience" in my computer-room for the game Destiny 2.
In/under my gaming-chair I have attached so called "bass-shakers" I used them for years in my home cinema for extra "special effects" (shaking in the couch :-)) in movies like Jurassic Park etc...

On the wall (behind my monitor) I also created a large "thing" (sorry, English is not my native language...) with LED-strips in it.

What I want to do is the following:
When the AutoIT script detects a "reddish" pixel in a specific place (left-top in the screen from Destiny 2 where it shows when enemy's hit you) then I want to send a signal (string) to the COM-port so that my micro-controller (Arduino) can trigger the bass-shakers and the LED-lights behind my monitor.

There are 2 problems here:

1. The red isn't always the same because it is a little transparent. So when being hit, I move off course, the red isn't the same...
I can't get AutoIT to detect this "range" of pixels... It seems that the "shades variations" parameter doesn't work as I think/hoped for.
Or I have the wrong Hexadecimal-number from the red I want to detect... But how can I find that out?

This is the red I'm talking about:

-snip-

2. If I fix the first problem, how can I send data to the COM-port? For example, I want to send "test123" to COM3 with bautrate 9600. How to do that?

 

Thanks in advance,

Atmoz

Welcome to the AutoIt forum.

Unfortunately you appear to have missed the Forum rules on your way in. Please read them now - particularly the bit about not discussing game automation - and then you will understand why you will get no help and this thread will now be locked.

See you soon with a legitimate question I hope.
