This is only required if yo plan to run this on a Linux box and remotely access your gaming PC. Maxmium characters for a serial message : by default I've left it at 32 since I used a 16x2 character display.For windows it would be something like 'COMM1' on linux it'd be something like /dev/XYZBLAH. Comms Port - this is the port that the Arduino devcie is listening on.Password - I've included the default password that is provided by the Remote Server but you can modify this in the app and adjust it here also.IP address and port - that the MSI Afterburner Remote Server is listening on.Modify the configuration file /src/main/resources/configuration.properties and set the following : Install MSI Afterburner & MSI Afterburner Remote Server.

Install the appropriate Arduino IDE and serial drivers for your device.This code is currently capable of interfacing with MSI Afterburner versions : The MSI Afterburner GUI & Remote Server application are available on the MSI Afterburner website. This was perfect for my device where I just wanted to display any receved serial messages straight to my LCD 16x2 character display. I've just used the simple LCD serial example provided by Ardiuno.

The ardiuno coding part is for you to write depending on what stats it receives. LCD display, LEDs, speaker alerts, fan power control module, your imagination. It sends serial messages over a configured comms port and these messages can be used however the ardiuno device likes i.e. This basic diagram attempts to describe those parts :

MSI Afterburner GUI & MSI Afterburner Remote Server installed on the Windows PC to be monitored.

My afterburner client application which is installed on the Windows PC to be monitored (this project code).

An Arduino device with a 16x2 display (but not limited to).

It sends MSI Afterburner monitoring statistics to an Ardiuno based device over USB serial. This is a Java-FX(v12) based desktop application (Windows/Linux) that connects the MSI Afterburner server and forwards the published statistics to an Arduino-based LCD device.
