synopsis
create a midi controlled andon light/signal tower/studio light.
An andon light is a color-coded visual display for process state control; in short: On-Air light
implementation
Xopr 15:03, 24 July 2011 (CEST): I've ordered some leds and made an initial signalling system. I'm also able to acquire a physical signal tower, which needs to be modified to fit in the LEDs.
The first version will listen on a serial port and change the lights depending on the data it receives. On the PC, an application listens to the midi signals and above certain channel thresholds, it will send out the correct signal data over the serial port.
Since the media plugin doesn't work, you have to open the file manually: Media:andon_prototype.mov
todo
- modify the signal tower for leds
- write software for the studio PC which listens to the midi port, and write serial data
future
replace the serial port with a real midi port, and use internal ROM to store channel thresholds.
