Fader Bank

Is there any way of getting Nomad to report which Faders have something loaded onto them and what that something is… i.e. a Cue List or a Sub?

Hello, yes if you init the faders, you can get the info from the faders, if it is a Sub, GM etc. I played with it al little bit in the last month. I can get it to work on two faders, display the info on a LCD or a little Oled display, but after that the Arduino won't proces the info. Using text info and commands, and proces it on a Arduino is not very straight forward. I don't know if you are better with coding, happy to send you my progress this far.  I was also thinking giving the faders a color, GM red Sub yellow, Cuelist & Cross fader green etc. But fist it would be very nice to get 10 faders to work instead of only two. My feeling is you have to abandon the Arduin all together, but that is just a feel. 

Hi DJ111

Switching on Incoming OSC & Outgoing OSC on the Diagnostic Tab I can see when the FaderWing initialises that it’s sending info to Nomad about its faders but I don’t see Nomad sending any of its fader config info back to the FaderWing.

I’d like to use an RGB LED for each fader on my FaderWing and set the colour according to what’s loaded on the equivalent fader in Nomad. i.e. Green for a CueList, Red for a Sub etc.

I don’t know how to get the fader config info from Nomad so yes, it would be great if you could share your work! :)

Thank You

Hello check here:

github.com/.../4

Eos will not directly tell you color info for the faders.  It will have some info that you can parse to change the behavior of your local display/leds.  There is info on sub, and cue list but not for inhibitive.  As a workaround I made one of my systems change the color based on whether or not "INHIB" was included in the name of the sub.  It takes a bit of parsing to break up the list of info and extract out specifics but it is possible.  I have one project that has 8 faders each with their own oled display that lists type, name, and level of the faders. When you initialize the virtual fader bank with the console it should transmit a bunch of data and also when you change pages it will also transmit that info.  

Hello, would you be kind enough tonshare your skettch, for the 3 faders ?

I tried to message you but your account is not allowing direct messages/emails.  What base sketch are you using?  I've done so many that I'm not sure which sketch you are trying to modify to 3 faders.

Is this about getting the text from a fader over or controlling more than 2 faders.  

Hello, thank you for the effort to respond this way :-) !! If everything is correct you should be able to respond in private.

If you look at this Link

I can control multiple faders, and switches. But I would love to add displays. I made some progress but for know I am stuc. You talked about a 8 fader box with displays, that could be a great start.

Kind regards

The 8 fader box is based on a teensy 4.1 microcontroller which has a lot more memory and processing speed than a nano.  I will take a better look at your code when I get a chance
