GPIO Module Interfaces

markstrange

Hi

I've had a speculative enquiry from a client and I think Millumin could be the right tool for the job, but I'm not over familiar with all of Millumins functions and command protocols that are supported.

So I would like to be able to trigger a video from a physical button push that would be remote from the control machine.

There would be around 4 different buttons, corresponding to 4 different video sequences.

I have been looking at an 8 channel usb GPIO Module:

and using physical contact closures.

Would Millumin be able to interpret the incoming USB commands?

Many thanks

Hello @markstrange, 

We havent tested this module, but it looks like that it would probably able to communicate with millumin with some programming. I don't think it'll work out of the box.

Another solution could be to use an Arduino and use the autoprogram functionality to trigger columns. 

You can also have a look at teensy that offer the possibility to be recognised as a gamepad controller by Millumin. You will find the infos on how tu use it here. 

Hope this helps

Hi!

If you want to get the most out of Millumin, you should take a look at these interfaces. I have used them in many events and they are really useful. The important thing is that they are bidirectional
