Dip switch for change tally channel #84

Closed dmitrylive closed 1 year ago

dmitrylive commented 1 year ago

Hello! Thanks for this guide, everything turned out to be done, although not the first time. I have a suggestion, I do not know where to write. It would be cool to implement the ability to change the channel using a dip switch. 3 buttons are enough for 8 channels

(000, 001, 010, 011, 100, 101, 110, 111).

3-position-dip-switch

This board also has free channels.

Unfortunately, I am very far from programming, I am a sound engineer ... with a passion for media engineering) This will speed up the replacement process a little if one tally suddenly breaks or runs out of power. You will not need to open the web interface, the switches are set up faster)

I think a lot of people will be interested.

Thanks for your work!

Hi, I'm glad to hear you got it working, and thanks for the suggestion.

However, you're not the first to suggest this. Take a look at my answer here: https://github.com/AronHetLam/ATEM_tally_light_with_ESP8266/issues/37#issuecomment-874197403

In short, some switchers have up to 41 inputs as far as i remember, so a dip-switch solution isn't sufficient. In that other issue there is a link to a version that allows scrolling through tally the numbers with a button, but there's no knowing what channel you're at. And also the updated channel isn't saved..

I'll close this issue as it's a duplicate. Please feel free to put your thoughts in the existing issue #37. If the button solution works for you I could polish it (at least make it save...), and put it in a release. :)
