  • 1.  Dashboard exercise for the day: Use dashboard to trigger scene director of scene that is on line

    Posted 12-15-2017 20:51
    We have a "mistletoe cam" coming up (aka kiss cam) I want the operator of our xpression to be able to click a button on dashboard that will play an animation to make the hanging mistletoe wiggle at his command. I know how to do this using keystroke macros but I would like to design it on dashboard just for the education. Can someone get me started down the right road?

    Thanks

    The easiest way would be to go into XPression's Keyboard/GPI Mapping and, at the same action you would use to assign a keyboard shortcut, also edit the GPI assignment to add a RossTalk/SmartGPI number. You would also add a RossTalk/SmartGPI port under Hardware Setup -> GPI Boards.

    You can then use the "GPI" command in Visual Logic to send the GPI number you assigned to the XPression.

    Thanks James. I find myself falling back on knowledge I already have and not pushing forward.

    We do try to make it that way when possible :)
    Glad it worked out for you.
