## tally-settings.ini Reference

|
|
|
||
|
|
| setting name | default | description |
|
||
|
|
| --- | --- | --- |
|
||
|
|
| `station.ssid` | **(required)** |The name of the WiFi that the Tally should connect to |
|
||
|
|
| `station.password` | (none) | The password to connect to the WiFi. If the WiFi has no password, leave it empty. |
|
||
|
|
| `hub.ip` | **(required)** | The IP address the hub is running on |
|
||
|
|
| `hub.port` | `{{ tally_default_port }}` | The port where the hub listens. |
|
||
|
|
| `tally.name` | (chip id) | How you want _this_ tally to be labeled in the hub. This name needs to be unique amongst all tallies in your network. It must not be longer than `26` characters. Use of ASCII characters is recommended. |
|
||
|
|
| `operator.type` | `grb+` | How the pins for the operator light are driven. Use `grb+` when a `high` state signalizes _off_ and `grb-` when a `low` state signalizes _off_. |
|
||
|
|
| `operator.ws2812` | `5` | Number of WS2812 like LEDs in a strip that serve as operator lights. Has to be a number between `0` and `10`. The operator lights are the first in the strip, followed by the stage lights. |
|
||
|
|
| `stage.type` | `grb+` | How the pins for the stage light are driven. Use `grb+` when a `high` state signalizes _off_ and `grb-` when a `low` state signalizes _off_. |
|
||
|
|
| `stage.ws2812` | `0` | Number of WS2812 like LEDs in a strip that serve as stage lights. Has to be a number between `0` and `10`. The stage lights come right after the operator lights in the strip. |
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Using WS2812, NeoPixel, etc
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
WS2812-compatible LED strips come with many names. Most common are `WS2812b` and `NeoPixel`. If you have
|
||
|
|
anything that says it is compatible with either of those, it will probably work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Connect the strip to pin `D4`, the `+5V` and `GND` respectively.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By default the first `5` pixels in the strip will work as Operator Lights, the others stay dark.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The number of LEDs you want to use as Operator Lights and Stage Lights can be configured in
|
||
|
|
`tally-settings.ini` with the `operator.ws2812` and `stage.ws2812` settings.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In the example above, the correct configuration to drive 4 Operator Lights and 4 Stage Lights
|
||
|
|
would be
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
````ini
|
||
|
|
operator.ws2812 = 4
|
||
|
|
stage.ws2812 = 4
|
||
|
|
````
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
!!! info "Order of LED lights"
|
||
|
|
When wiring, please note, that the Operator Lights always come _before_ the Stage Lights.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is also possible to combine WS2812 strips and RGB Leds in one setup as all pins are driven
|
||
|
|
simultaneously. You could, for instance use a single RGB LED as the operator light and a
|
||
|
|
WS2812 strip for the stage light.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The configuration for this example would be
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
````ini
|
||
|
|
operator.ws2812 = 0
|
||
|
|
stage.ws2812 = 4
|
||
|
|
````
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Using LEDs with common cathode
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can use an LED with a common cathode with the tally. First connect the common pin
|
||
|
|
to `GND` instead of `3V3` and then configure `tally-settings.ini` to drive the pins correctly.
|
||
|
|
If you skip this step the colors that should be on are off, and vice versa.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
````ini
|
||
|
|
operator.type = grb-
|
||
|
|
stage.type = grb-
|
||
|
|
````
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also mix different RGB Led types for the Operator and Stage Light.
