Wireless Lighting Control with the Arduino and Vixen - Part 1

Timing Summary:
00:15 - Building the LED circuit on a breadboard
01:46 - Configuring Vixen software
03:40 - Setting up a new lighting sequence
05:12 - Inspecting sequencer serial output visually
07:08 - Writing Arduino sketch to decode sequencer data
10:28 - Testing lighting sequence on Arduino system
This is a video tutorial on wirelessly controlling lighting with Vixen and the Arduino. In Part 1, we learn how to configure the Vixen lights sequencer, sniff the output data, and then write software to decode the data into lighting triggers to turn on and off our LEDs using the Arduino compatible Fredboard.
