GoButton is a simple Arduino sketch that uses the Open Sound Control protocol to turn a physical switch into a GO button for an Eos family lighting console.
This project was created for Actors Theatre of Louisville's 2016 production of 4000 Miles by Amy Herzog. It allowed actors to use physical switches on a prop lamp and a scenic wall to trigger lighting cues.
The sketch uses the OSC implementation for Arduino available at https://github.com/CNMAT/OSC.
This version of the sketch allows up to 4 physical switches. Every switch sends a simple "GO" command to the Eos console. The command is currently triggered any time the switch changes state (so switch 'on' and switch 'off' both just send /eos/key/go 0).
This sketch also assumed the use of an RGB LED for visual feedback.
