OpenTally works with TallyArbiter!
OpenTally is an open-source Windows .NET framework app with three primary purposes:
- To bring functionality between Joseph Adam's TallyArbiter app with which tally bus data can be sent via USB to the OpenTally USB Client:
- To communicate directly with OBS Websockets for tally bus information which can be sent over USB to the OpenTally USB Client:
-
To program Wi-Fi SSID and other information into the EEPROM of the OpenTally Wi-Fi Client which communicates directly with TallyArbiter once connected to network:
Installation instructions can be found here.
To get your hardware tally lights (you know the physical red and green lights that go on top of the cameras) up and running, you have two options:
- The OpenTally USB Client
- You can build your own USB client by purchasing the components and 3D printing plastic housings using the instructions in the repository linked above.
- The OpenTally Wi-Fi Client
- I have custom designed a PCB circuit board which you can purchase from my shop (coming soon!).
- The firmware is open-sourced so improvements and bugfixes can be made over time.
All documentation can be found here.
I would welcome any software contributions! I have licensed the CAD parts and software as GPLv3. If you want to contribute to the software side, you will need the following:
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2019
- This project utilizes the Costura.Fody packager, which will have to be installed into MS Visual Studio with NuGet.
- The amazing Joseph Adams and his hard work on the TallyArbiter project.
- Project ideas from the following OBS forum thread: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/live-cameara-led.73922/.
