Transmission Light: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 01:45, 10 October 2021

This is the indicator light that says whether you are rehearsing, transmitting or both.

This light is controlled by an Arduino using GET requests over ip, this then triggers the corresponding relays.

You send commands to it in the format of <IP address>/?[request].

The code and schematic can be viewed here.

Turn on rehearsal light - <IP address>/?rehearsal_on
Turn on transmission light - <IP address>/?transmission_on
Turn on both rehearsal and transmission light - <IP address>/?rehearsal_transmission_on
Turn off both rehearsal lights - <IP address>/?rehearsal_transmission_off
