TallyArbiter-M5AtomMatrixListener

This is a Tally Viewer using a M5 Atom Matrix as a TallyArbiter Client. This is my attempt at 'mushing' arduino code.

Instructions

1. Go to https://docs.m5stack.com/en/arduino/arduino_development follow the instructions under heading "Boards Manager"
2. Open tallyarbiter-m5atom.ino in Arduino IDE https://www.arduino.cc/en/software
3. Update networkSSID, networkPass variable to match your Wifi network
4. Update tallyarbiter_host values to match your TallyArbiter installation
5. In Library Manager install FastLED, SocketIoClient, Arduino_JSON, WebSockets version 2.3.4, and MultiButton
6. Open ~/Documents/Arduino/libraries/SocketIoClient/SocketIoClient.cpp in a text editor. Find the line that says hexdump(payload, length); and comment it out by adding // to the beginning of the line. Save and close that file.
7. Go In the IDE go to Sketch -> Upload

Troubleshooting

Could Not Open Port

If you get serial.serialutil.SerialException: [Errno 2] could not open port go to Tools -> Port and select a different port (device) that starts with /dev/cu.usbserial-… This willl happen if you are installing TallyArbitor on a number of M5Atoms.

macOS

If you receive an error similar to ImportError: No module named serial reference: https://community.m5stack.com/post/11106

Current Updates

• Tidyed up things a little bit
• Changed the way the LED's are written to now using the M5 library
• Added Blank and 1 thru 16 camera numbers by pushing the screen (M5 Action button)
• Fixed bugs

Note if deploying yourself, one of the librarys has an error where you have to manually comment out hexdump by changing it to //hexdump

Planned Updates

Next Update will have Internal Motion Unit functionality to automatically rotate the screen.

Thanks

Thanks to mg-1999 for the code base, and huge thanks to josephdadams for his amazing work on TallyArbiter, and the original M5StickC implementation. https://github.com/josephdadams/TallyArbiter
