I've finally got around to writing about Big Rump in detail.
I've decided to go a remote mixing route. Meaning I control a mixer from somewhere in the house over the wireless network. Big Rump was made to facilitate this task.
It's really nothing more than a button panel laid out in a way that resembles the on screen mixer. I made it by gutting a normal usb keyboard and wiring the contacts to all the buttons. I especially like the arcade machine buttons I used for up down and mute control.
Using the software that I used from the
wii mixer idea, I wrote a script that interprets the button presses and performs an action on screen. When used with a mouse I'm almost faster than if I had the actual mixer in front of me. It's a continual work in progress but I'm at a point where I get reliable control with out running any power or snake out to where I'm sitting. I'll post some pictures of the actual remote station soon.
