Does anyone know of any available resources (docs, script samples, etc.) that will help me walk down the path towards controlling xKeys XK-68 Joystick LEDs? I'm developing a fairly involved setup with my new xKeys controller and it would quite helpful to be able to press a button to set the LEDs to one of a handful of LED configurations... to light relevant buttons' LEDs for the selected mode of operation.

Also, using Activators, I'm able to very simply set LED to on-red when a given Input is selected, but when it's deselected it goes off instead of reverting to default... the beginning default is on-blue for all buttons, and the activator leaves used buttons off. As I work my way across the controller I get a progressively darker controller :).

Please help if you're able :). I code sample to get a reference to the controller and address a specific LED would be a HUGE help.

Why not start here http://xkeys.com/PISupport/Software.php

And then reach out to x-keys support. This is a vMix forum.

I ask here because it's vMix's environment where I'll be scripting it, and vMix is already communicating with the device. The PI Engineering dev site does not address vMix in any way, and I will not be developing an outside app for this purpose, because I do not run additional apps while I'm streaming.

Also, so far every time I've had an issue with xKeys, they've referred me to vMix.

Thanks anyway,

Chad

Have you tried the X-Keys Backlighting Utility?

http://xkeys.com/PISupport/SoftwareUtilities.php

It lets you set the default state for your X-Keys. Set them all to off and then let vMix have full control with Activators as you see fit.
