Hi Micha, Thanks for your contribution! But I'd rather add a plugin than to change the core code. Are you able to develop a plugin? An example can be found in plugins/LED_HAT.h
Thanks in advance

Thanks
Luís Geadas The tally number needs to correspond to the input number in vMix as well

Thanks in advance Hi, sorry. I'm not able to do this. But I think, this small change, is good in the main code. Furthermore, the call of the function, is a change of the code necessary. Best Regards, Michael

Great Tool and execution, finaly a simple enough solution for cheapo integrated tally lights.
Can anyone maybe point me in the right direction: Moving our VMIX Machines from Event to Event, using local LAN and 4G Sticks bonded via Speedify to get some sort of redundancy. For not having to hook up the Tallys everytime, would anyone know how to add a WLAN router to have them work on a fixed WLAN and therefore work even though there's changing adresses for the internet connection?

Personally, I would make a separate network out of it... Not for bandwidth reasons obviously, but to have something that is a consistent setup. It also let's you go cheaper on the router for the same reasons. From there it's your choice on how to connect your vMix system to it, whether it be Ethernet or more WiFi. I believe there is a potential for some issues if that tally network winds up being the same subnet as the other networks you use. You can reduce those odds, but not eliminate them.

You need to manually turn it off by holding the power button for 6 seconds. There's no sleep functionality

Hi Guys,
I am in Aduino in the boards manager trying to search for esp32 but its not there. I assume I just install the M5stack folder instead? The video tutorial you made that I am following seems out of date now to what is happing in the later part of the install.

All you have to do is follow the written tutorial that I point to on the M5Stack website, that's still accurate. Instead of looking for esp32, look for M5Stack.

I believe there is a potential for some issues if that tally network winds up being the same subnet as the other networks you use. You can reduce those odds, but not eliminate them. A nasty, but functional way to configure a roaming network: Bring your own Internet router. Have the WAN configured for DHCP. On the LAN side, pick a public IP range that has been registered for a company you'll never need to communicate with. Preferably a company who owns a /24 IP range (254 IPs). Use that same range on your LAN and make sure you have NAT enabled. This way, you'll not be able to communicate with that IP range on Internet, but you are almost certain that you have a different subnet than whatever your customer have. If you are in Europe or America, you can probably find something to use in https://www.apnic.net/ Personally, I use a Ubiquity Edgerouters Lite. It has 3 interfaces: One for WAN: (DHCP enabled) One for DMZ: (DHCP enabled, used for connecting to additional, local networks - with port forwarding to my vMix system.) One for LAN: providing DNS, DHCP and Routing capability.

Hi Vyacheslav, since I don't have the LED module you have, I can't test it for you. Can you tell me the following: - Amount of LEDs on your WS2812 strip/board - How do you connect it to the Stick? This could give me some pointers as to explain what you need to change in the code to make it work. Thank you for wanting to support me. You can do that via Buy me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/guidovisserThe service allows you to use a credit or debit card alongside of paypal. Hopefully that works for you. Otherwise, no worries, you using my solution is payment enough 😄

Guido thanks a lot, I've just been able to figure out the code. And now everything works fine! The WS2812 LED is just one. I want to take it out on the camera body.

Is it possible to configure it to react on Preview/Live on Mix 2? I'm using Mix 2 as a camera switcher and the primary Preview/Live to change my layouts. For example multiview etcs.
If so, how would I do this? Thanks.

If so, how would I do this? Thanks. This is not possible as far as I know. The Tally Subscription API is only available for the Live and Preview sources.

Hi all,
Just let you know that I successfully built 4 tally lights using the M5Stick and 4 big 8x8 led matrices. Also built the cases and supports for everything using designs available on thingiverse.
This is so cool.
Thank you!
