According to the Help - To connect to the Arduino device, go to the Input properties (click the i button) and from the Tally Light tab, select the COM port of the Arduino device and select the Tally Number.

Can someone elaborate on this please, or show me a screen grab, because I can't work out where I should be selecting the COM Port number of my connected Arduino (as COM-3). It works fine via the Firmata_test app, but I can't seem to see how to use it in vMix.

Hi Martin

it seems what you're looking for is simply in the tally lights tab in any input you wish tally for...

First of all you must go in general settings, select tally lights and assign the tally number to the function you want. After that you must go in input settings, select the com port and assign that input to a tally light number.
I hope this helps.

Thanks for the help - I have it working now. Not having even looked at how the Tally system worked in vMix before now, I had somehow assumed that the Arduino COM port setting would be a global one, not a per-input one, hence I was not looking in the right place. A screen grab in the Help would have helped (even though it's not difficult once you find it).
