Slow Response Time

[JCrankWV]

Hello and thanks for the awesome code,

I have this setup using a 4mb DI Mini with 1 neopixel for the LED.

My problem is I'm seeing a 3-7 second delay in the LED changing when switching inputs. My switcher is a ATEM 2 M/E Production Studio 4k. Is this a normal delay? Do you have any suggestions for making it quicker?

The wifi is Unifi.
The wifi signal on the ESP Tally shows -61 db

Thank you,

Hi, you're welcome.

I assume you're using the web-installer?

Your delay is high, the change should be instant (almost).
Do you know if you're on a busy network? If there is a lot of UDP broadcast data it might overwhelm the D1 mini.
There is some network discussion in #53 that might be helpful.

You could try to make a test with the tally test server program as fake swithcer, to see if it's still slow on a more isolated network. Once the test server code is installed you can select the logs & console option in the web installer, and press enter in the console to switch between tally states.

Alternatively you could try the more powerful ESP32. If you don't want any soldering there is the Atom matrix

Thank you for your response, Sorry it took so long for me to respond. Been a bit busy.

Yes I used the web installer. Is the arduino editor a better route?
The network should not be that busy, but I don't know how much broadcast traffic there is. We are running a Unify system and my production equipment is on its own VLAN.

I'm going to give an esp32 a try. Will the web installer work for the ESP32?

The web installer is fine. For supported boards It shouldn't make a difference.
ESP32 is supported, but depending on which module you get the pin layout might not be ideal. To customize it you'd need the Arduino IDE (simpler) or PlatformIO (more advanced)
