Thank you for this awesome solution! I know basically nothing about coding and just tried getting everything up and running simply by trying to following all the documentation and the videos. And I just got it working. I'm adjusting the code just a little to get another shade of green and a bigger font size for the device name.
Hello! Thanks for the development and the manual. How to use M5StickC is clear. How to use M5 Atom (5x5 RGB LED) is also clear. Is it possible to use M5Stack ATOMS3 Dev (with LCD) with Tally Arbiter? If possible, how to program it? Same as M5StickC?
Hey Joseph, Thank you for this AWESOME tutorial. I have a few Stick C Plus units and I have TA running and working with my BMD ATEM TV Studio 4k. I cannot get the units to come up as connected listening devices on TA. The get stuck on "Connecting to Tally Arbiter server..." The IP is correct and it connects to the Wifi fine. Any sugestions?
I setup 4 of these devices to connect directly to our ATEM using other software, but I'm eager to get around BMD's 5 device limit by using Tally Arbiter. Any idea when the updated version of this software will be ready that includes using the build-in LED? Also, being able to connect an external LED would make this even better.
I got your message but replying here also. The current m5stick client uses the built in led. I’ll look into adding extra GPO options for externals as well.
hi there, thnx very much! just one question, when I reassign a m5stick from cam 2 to cam 1. the name still is cam 2.... it behaves like cam 1 tally though. only the deviceName doesn't seems to update... edit: when I change M5.Lcd.print(Devicename); into M5.Lcd.print(DeviceId); then it display's instant the correct id. seems that the "device name" won't update....
Can Tally Arbiter pull the Channel Audio Mode state from an ATEM Mini series of switchers? I want my M5 stick to light up the LCD when microphone for a particular ATEM input is set to ON, and it lights up the built-in LED when the actual input on the ATEM is set as active program (currently using Arduino API from Kasper Skaarhoj, but the getAudioMode arduino no longer works with ATEMS with software greater than V 7.5).
Hey Joseph, great to see people using technology. I've tried it myself and managed to show preview and program in the settings and the web viewer as well. Unfortunately my M5 doesn't show any color, no matter what status my device has. Can you help me out? Greetings from Germany :)
Mitja Braun ah. So the two are not connected. You may need to re compile your arduino code. Did you edit it so that the tally Arbiter server IP (needs to be static so it won’t change) is configured? And your wifi as well?

@@JoergCologne yep, and in that photo, my m5atom is running that project I referenced. I don’t really see the problem, it works great!

No, but let me know how I can help you get them configured. I am partnering with the author of the m5stickc vmix tally project to make an even better tally Arbiter client. His project is even easier to configure and set up than mine. You can use the current version with Tally Arbiter 1.4.2 which has vmix tally emulation built in.
Awesome project! I noticed how you said that when the device first powers up, it will automatically connect to camera 1/the first camera set up in the server. If you change this setting, does the unit remember what camera it is set to? Or does it have to be set every time it is powered on? Thanks:)
Thank you! The current m5stick client will not remember its assigned device, you have to reassign it each time. But the next version will support this. Some great changes are coming for the m5stickc client, so just stay tuned for that!
TechMinistry Great idea! I think we’ll just be using the Vmix emulation feature along with a vmix client which supports saving to achieve this 😁 can’t wait to try it out!

You could start with the M5StickC version and modify it for the ATOMS3.

Is it possible to use WT32-eth01 board and ethernet cable over a network to cover large distance?
Sure! All of the Tally Arbiter code is open source, so easily adaptable to other platforms!

The m5stickc battery might last 30 minutes. It really should be connected to a power bank. The Plus model will last a little longer.
