                Hi everyone. I've finished my last project: it's a Vmix controller based on two Arduinos Mega. Let me know what you think about it. Lino

                Nice...I like it....this would be a real charm for me to build.....can I get the circuit diagram

                Very impressive work Lino! What are your plans with the controller - do you except to sell it?
  One improvement I could see is that it would be nice if the "current selected auto transition" will light up in the display, as with the input that is in prw/pgm. Besides that, it seems pretty complete. Well done with all that electronic components - seems like a big work.

                Hi Spino
  nice video you can test with the API, which transistion is on which button

  / Jens Stigaard  You're absolutly right Jens but, as I mentioned in the video, at the moment there aren't activators for that function.  I've post a future request here:   https://forums.vmix.com/...p;m=39062&#post39062please support it because I think it could be a great improvement for any external controller, not just mine. I don't sell and I don't give the Arduino code and the wiring because it's not so simple to explain, there are a lot of aspects to analyze. My purpose is to give just an idea so anyone can build his own controller as he wants and as he needs. Believe me, it's not so difficult do that, just a little study of Arduino code and a research in internet: if I could do that, anybody can do that. Thank you for your compliments too, I really appreciated them.

In any case I don't know if it could be work because the commands to switch on the leds are received from Arduino and I don't think it's possible to add API code in Arduino code (Arduino has its own language to program it).

                Congrats Lino! You did it! How long did it take for you to build this? 3 months?
  Yes you could use the API from an arduino. I think it requires an ethernet shield for telnet connection, well that's how Skaarhoj does it, but it's probably too late now by the way.
  I'll support your feature request for sure!

  Guillaume  Yes Guillame about 3 months, it was an hard work but I'm satisfied for the result. About the API, as I said, I don't know that programming language so, I'll wait for activators (I hope so). Thank you for your support.

                Very nice done! I wish vMix existed when I was in school. Would have been a great project!
