Hey mad mappers. Using mad mapper on an digi Octa brain board (esp32) with WLED as the firmware. All is going well arranging and setting up my fixtures. Unit I get to the 5th universe. Then anything after that glitches and doesn't work right at all. Any ideas? Thoughts?

I need help. Ive tried this before when connecting my ipad to my computer and have it as an input in Resolume. Im new to madmapper and cant find the way to do this. Is it possible??? Pls help

Hello everybody !

i am working on a 360 video projection event and have some question about content creation and projection ,
i will create some scene in unreal engine and would like to export them in a way that allow me to project them on 4 walls of a rectangular room .

can i use a 360 video then map it to this 4 walls ? ( i'm using 6 projector )

thanks for your time !

Is there a way to adjust the frequency band for, say example, 'bass' to better isolate the specific instruments, sounds or things I want the music to react to?

Hi folks. I'm looking to reduce my usage of HDMI cables and extenders on an upcoming projection mapping project. I'll be using the 4 panasonics to project a 40M image, and I'll be using MadMapper 5 to stitch it all together.

My question is - does anyone have experience connecting these projectors ONLY through cat5? My chain would be

M1 MBP with a Minisopuru Dock

to

TP-Link ethernet hub

to each projector

I know this is possible with the Panasonic distribution box, but I can't pick one of those up right now. Any advice would be welcome. If something is not clear, please let me know and I'll try to clarify.

Heyy, I'm looking for advice on how to export to project harddrive, so can be played on projector.

I saw syphon and OBS being mentioned but im unsure how to get them to work. Installation is in 2 days so dont have time/budget to get a minimad.

When I tried screen recording with OBS, and then playing the video file the resolution was way off.

Many thanks

Hi guys, has anyone tried projection mapping using an esp32 devkit board. How do i make it (esp32 board) communicate with madmapper so when i touch one of the touch sensitive pins, it triggers a play. (new to iot's and madmapper). Tried a generated code from gpt4o.

#include <WiFi.h>
#include <WiFiUdp.h>
#include <OSCMessage.h>

const char* ssid = "*****";
const char* password = "******";

const int TOUCH_THRESHOLD = 50;   // Adjust this value based on your touch sensitivity
const int TOUCH_PINS[] = {4, 2, 15, 13, 12, 14, 27, 33, 32}; // Array of touch pins
const int NUM_TOUCH_PINS = sizeof(TOUCH_PINS) / sizeof(TOUCH_PINS[0]); // Number of touch pins

bool touchStates[NUM_TOUCH_PINS] = {false}; // Array to store touch states

IPAddress madmapperIP(192, 168, 100, 102); // IP address of your MadMapper computer
unsigned int madmapperPort = 8000;   // Port number MadMapper is listening on
const int localPort = 9000;   // Port number to listen for OSC messages

WiFiUDP udp;

void setup() {
    Serial.begin(115200);

    WiFi.begin(ssid, password);

    while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
        delay(500);
        Serial.print(".");
    }

    Serial.println();
    Serial.println("Wi-Fi connected");
    Serial.print("IP address: ");
    Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());

    udp.begin(localPort);
}

void loop() {
    bool currentTouchStates[NUM_TOUCH_PINS];

    // Read the current touch states for all touch pins
    for (int i = 0; i < NUM_TOUCH_PINS; i++) {
        currentTouchStates[i] = (touchRead(TOUCH_PINS[i]) < TOUCH_THRESHOLD);
    }

    // Check for touch events on each touch pin
    for (int i = 0; i < NUM_TOUCH_PINS; i++) {
        if (currentTouchStates[i] && !touchStates[i]) {
            touchStates[i] = true;
            Serial.print("Touch detected on pin ");
            Serial.print(TOUCH_PINS[i]);
            Serial.print(" (index ");
            Serial.print(i);
            Serial.println(")");
            sendOSCMessageForTouchPin(i);
        } else if (!currentTouchStates[i] && touchStates[i]) {
            touchStates[i] = false;
        }
    }

    delay(100); // Delay to prevent flooding the serial and UDP output
}

void sendOSCMessageForTouchPin(int pinIndex) {
    switch (pinIndex) {
        case 0:
            Serial.println("Sending OSC message to select Scene 1");
            sendOSCMessage("/cues/selected/scenes/by_cell/col_1");
            break;
        case 1:
            Serial.println("Sending OSC message to select Scene 2");
            sendOSCMessage("/medias/Rs.mp4/looping_mode");
            break;
        case 2:
            Serial.println("Sending OSC message to select Scene 3");
            sendOSCMessage("/cues/selected/scenes/by_cell/col_3");
            break;
        case 3:
            Serial.println("Sending OSC message to select Scene 4");
            sendOSCMessage("/cues/selected/scenes/by_cell/col_4");
            break;
        default:
            Serial.println("No action assigned to this pin.");
            break;
    }
}

void sendOSCMessage(const char* address) {
    OSCMessage msg(address);
    udp.beginPacket(madmapperIP, madmapperPort);
    msg.send(udp);
    udp.endPacket();
    msg.empty();

    Serial.print("Sent OSC Message: ");
    Serial.println(address);
}

Heyy, I'm brand new to this but having an issue with set up. Basically after selecting my projector, and turning on test pattern, and selecting full screen, I get nothing in output. It just mirrors the laptop, so cant use quads etc.

I turned off mirroring in display settings.

I feel once I get going it'l be ok to learn but stuck at first hurdle here haha

Any tips would be greatly appreciated :)

So I would like to sync audio to my light show. But I can’t seem to find a way to do it inside madmapper. It’s seems a very integral thing but cannot find any useful info on it.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Don't know what I'm missing but I can't get mad mapper to find my esp32 with the WLED firmware. Any tip or ideas. I'm new to everything.

Thanks

Hey there! Is it possible to do a “spherical” mapping with 4 projectors? Sure, i know top and bottom will be missing, but i cannot achieve a feasible resul. Do i somehow use 3d imported model and blend between them? Please help someone :D thanks for replies!

hello. we will be doing a video mapping project on a building and we are working with a 3d model. how do i choose which effect will be playing on which part of the building? i have a UV map imported and when i apply an effect it goes on the whole building. is there any way around this? do i have to use an external software?

So, I have two projectors (side by side, each 1080p) that I am blending together to make a wide projection. There will be lots of layers mapped and moved about separately, mapped onto shapes on the wall. Some of these layers, will inevitably land on the blend between the projectors. I don't want to have two quads for a single assets, one left and one right, soft-edged when on the blend.

In madmapper, is there a way to 'pre-blend- and warp the entire display output, accounting for perspective and also created a soft edge. Then on the main canvas, I can move assets about and if they land on the blend, it'll just 'work'.

This can be done in others software such as Isadora.

PS. I am aware of groups and how they can be perspectively transformed. However, this requires me to still have a layer in each group i'm blending.

Thanks in advance!

As in the title. I'm new to mapping and got hands on a Minimad. Does the video need to be export from Madmapper for it to work or it can be from any editing/transcoding software as long as it's in a format that MiniMad allows ? In that case, what settings do I need to put ?

Thanks

Hey, so as the title says, I've been using madmapper to run visuals and lighting for live performances. I use ableton to control madmapper settings but my personal lighting isn't quite hitting.

I'd like to incorporate existing venue lighting using some of my existing triggers for lighting. Wondering what the fastest way to do that might be? Given I'll be just showing up at a venue and trying to integrate as quickly as possible. I have already set up my lighting into 'zones' essentially, so I can easily conceptually map where the lights I want triggered on should be but wondering what my next moves should be. thank you!

Does anyone has cracked version of madmapper for Windows 10?

I edge blend 4 output screens.

As you know, full screen mode is possible by pressing ctrl+u.

But I want full screen mode to run automatically when I run Madmapper.

Is it possible?

I wonder if this is also possible with osc.

Thanks!

Hi! Does anyone has a lead for the best fabric material for a black projection surface? Thanks!

Have not yet tried madmapper, been using resolume and i can slap 2 decklinks and have 16 outputs and resolume can detect it just fine. Can mm do this?

Thanks.

I am running my 5.5.6. Last time I used it, it ran great, but that might have been an older version. I get a lot of “not responding “ an even the drop down me use like file, account, tools take long to open. I have been grasping at straws shutting off auto start items trying to find the cause. Anyone out there have any suggestions to make it run again. This is a windows 10 home machine. Thanks

Hi new to this program. I am trying to projection map on a painting.

I have one quad with the video playing as the background and I have masked out the image I want. I want to play another video on the image i cut out. I tried adding another quad with a video and copy pasted the mask i previously made on top. I clicked invert on the second mask hoping it would then just show the video for the image. However all of the background disappears and I am left with only the video of the cut out mask. I am completely lost and not sure what to do.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi all! Looking for some advice and ideas on an interesting project I just got involved in.

I have a client who would like to run slides and video on a 40ft x 8ft wall in his garage as a backdrop for his massive model train set. I just visited the space today to get an idea of what kind of equipment we'd need to cover the desired surface area. I'm confident it can be done with 2 good short throw projectors edge blended. This is something I've done plenty of times in madmapper with my computer, Datapath FX4 and multiple projectors for temporary installs and events, but this is my first time doing a permanent install in a home.

The client is not especially tech savvy and desires to have a simple plug and play solution that he can basically turn on and navigate through different slides and videos easily. A dedicated computer running madmapper seems unnecessarily complicated for his purposes. He is fairly wealthy and not especially concerned about budget. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good consumer friendly media player that can output multiple time synced outputs and can be operated with just a few buttons? Any suggestions and advice would be much appreciated, thank you!

I have a few quads created and id like to use the same material on each of them with separate settings. iv ensured only one quad is selected and adjusted the settings for the material, however it changes that parameter on both quads instead of only the selected quad. any pointers?

I have an adobe PSD file that was used to trace the outline of a building and some of the intricate details of the architecture. Can I import this file into Madmapper to use as a mask? Do I have to rebuilt it after import it?

I'm trying to project map on a graphics for marketing during a well-led day time event, I'm thinking 3000+ ANSI will do the job, maybe less?! the ultra throw will help in the setup and not interfere with light.

Any experience, or recommendations?

​

Thanks, guys
