Introduction: VMix Surface Control 8 Channel & Tally Lights
Build your own vMix Controller 8 Input camera / videos, based on Arduino Pro Micro/Leonardo.
And Tally Lights 8 Camera using Arduino NANO / UNO.
Features:
8 input Preview Buttons
8 Active Buttons
1 Effect Transition Buttons
8 Input Volume Pot/Fader
8 Preview Tally Lights
8 Active Tally Lights
1 Master Volume
T-Bar Fader
Step 1: Prepare the Stuff
The controller : Arduino Leonardo / Pro micro (Native USB)
Tally : Arduino NANO / UNO
5 Project Boards
1 Multiplexer 16 Channel 4067
17 Tact Buttons
10 Pots/Faders
16 Resistors
8 Green LEDs
8 Red LEDs
Jumper wires (Lots of)
Step 2: Wiring the Controller
Check the Schema and start to wiring the controller
Step 3: Wiring the Tally Lights
Wiring the tally light
Preview pin :
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16
Active LED pin:
3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17
Step 4: Upload the Code
I already compiling & build the code so you dont need the library.
All you do is upload the code using Arduino Builder (check the download link for details)
Step 5: Mapping the Controller
Im using arduino pro micro/leonardo. its Native USB, so I dont need the software MIDI serial Bridge anymore.
The arduino pro micro/leonardo will detect as Standalone MIDI Device.
Mapping the controller using shortcut menu on vMix
Step 6: Tips
The Arduino will start/run the after you uploading it, so its better to
connect all the potentiometers before you turn on the arduino, or you will not be able to mapping the controller.
