Has anyone got or tried vMix tally lights to work with any other Arduino than Arduino UNO? Trying to get official Arduino MICRO to work with vMix 15 but not working. Arduino UNO works. I did bring this compatibility problem up a long time ago when I tried to get vMix to work with Arduino clone Romeo R2 (didn't work either). vMix just says: "Connecting" and then "ConnectError". Martin, please look in to this Arduino compatibility issue. Kind regards, Jan

Refer to the arduino documentation for instructions for your device. Regards, Martin vMix

Could you test it on Arduino Micro? Kind regards, Jan

Since no one has posted a reply saying he has got Arduino to work with vMix (other than Arduino UNO) I am certain that there are issues with it. I have tested it with Arduino MICRO and Arduino clone Romeo with the standard firmata installed in them. Martin, have you tested it on any ohter Arduino and got it to work? Kind regards, Jan

There is also a registry fix in some cases when the settings become corrupt: http://www.vmixhd.com/kn...uino-tally-lights-driver

On a Mega 2560 Standard Firmata is loaded and the test program can drive all outputs so there is nothing wrong with the code or the board but vMix still says connect error. I have tried the new drivers and tried the registry fix. UNO is seriously limited as you have no facility for more than 13 Digital Out pins which is why I wanted to use the Mega. Even utilisation of the Analog pins would be a help but it should be very easy to make it work with any Arduino.

In my case the problem did go away with vMix 16.0.0.115 and newer vMix versions and now it works at least with Arduino Uno and Arduino Micro. Kind regards, Jan

Kind regards, Jan I'm running vMix 17.0.0.111 and can't get the Mega 2560 to work at all. Even the first 12 (2-13 on Arduino board) won't work but they work fine with the UNO boards I have.

To disable this functionality you will need to manually edit vMix64.exe.config in the vMix install directory and set as follows: <setting name="ControlSurfaceEnabled" serializeAs="String"> <value>True</value> </setting> To <setting name="ControlSurfaceEnabled" serializeAs="String"> <value>False</value> </setting> Regards, Martin vMix

I am using a second Arduino (Due) as a USB midi input device to interface with a control surface. Will this be affected? Bryan

Bryan I tried the change to the config file but still cannot get the Mega to work for tally. It says connected now but doesn't actually change outputs.

Both with standard firmata, on the same PC and in the same conditions. I tried to change vmix64.exe.config, I tried to open regedit and reset port com but no results: always "connect error". I'm going crazy.

I notice when VMIX is opened that there is some activity on the Arduino board, but when I select COM4 within Vmix it says connect error. *It is definitely connected to COM4). Thanks

It only works if I start VMIX first and then plug in the Arduino Mega board. If I plug the board in first then it doesnt work. This hardware seems a bit tempermental and fussy!
