I found a big problem about tally lights connected to Arduino Mega. In Arduino Uno everything works perfect but in Arduino Mega doesn't. You can see evrything in this video:




Any advice?

Perhaps try install the program which is described in the knowledge base and see if it works. Follow this link and read the article: http://www.vmix.com/know...uino-tally-lights-driver

Normally with Arduinos we need to define 2 things:
- the board model
- the COM port

Try this:
- close vMix
- run Arduino IDE
- set it correctly for your MEGA board and COM port
- make sure it works
then:
- close the IDE
- re-open vMix
- give it a try

This could make the registry "remember" correctly the last config (with MEGA) instead of the previous one (with UNO)

This is exactly what I did.

I have the same problem. Arduino Uno Works, Arduino Mega doesn't work. I made all things suggested by the guide in knowledge base but it doesn't work.

Arduino mega is better than arduino uno. Tally lights works perfect in uno. The Arduino Mega has 54 pins and uno has less pins. For more details, you can visit my post Arduino Mega Vs Arduino UNO.

Hi....i am new user here. I have the anode on row 13, and the cathode on row 14. I believe that's how the book has it.What happens if I use the wrong size resistor? It just won't work? I think I have the 220-ohm, but I can't tell for sure. I have a 5 band, because I don't see and 220-ohm 4 band resisters in my kit.

Take a look here:


I also suggest to take a look to the tutorials about Arduino in Youtube: just the first lessons.
