Overview

This project is a hardware and software solution for converting OSC (Open Sound Control) messages over WiFi into RS-232C serial commands to control a Panasonic WJ-MX30 (or similar) video mixer. It enables synchronized, network-based control of video mixing from creative software such as TouchDesigner, Max/MSP, Python scripts, or mobile/tablet OSC apps—ideal for live performance.

The project is inspired by the _transcribe_ project by cyberboy666.

Hardware

Components

• NodeMCU Board (ESP8266)
  Super cheap and powerful enough for this project. The Serial and UART pins did give me a headache, though.
• MAX3232 Board
  Converts NodeMCU’s TTL serial to RS-232C voltage levels for the video mixer.
• SSD1306 OLED Display
  Displays the IP Address after connecting to WiFi.
• Enclosure
  3D-printed enclosure for the project, modified from the model above to include a cutout for the display.

Wiring Overview

• OSC controller (TouchDesigner, Max/MSP, phone/tablet app, etc.) → WiFi → NodeMCU
• NodeMCU UART TX/RX → MAX3232 → RS232C DB9 OUT → video mixer

Software

Features

• WiFi OSC Input
  Receives OSC messages over WiFi.
• RS-232C Serial Output
  Sends mapped commands to the video mixer.

Dependencies

• WiFiManager
• ArduinoOSC
