12 Testing your Blackmagic Shield and Library Installation
You should now see the tally light on your Blackmagic Studio Camera blink once every second.
If you see the tally light blinking you can be sure your Blackmagic shield is communicating with
the Arduino and everything is working properly.
If the tally light is not blinking, check that your Blackmagic camera’s tally number is set to 1.
If you need further assistance, please visit the Blackmagic Design support center at
www.blackmagicdesign.com/support. Refer to the help section of this manual for more
information on the different ways you can get help setting up your shield.
The Tally Blink example sketch is a fast and easy way to test your
Arduino shield. Raw data can be sent to your shield via I

C using commands
from the Studio Camera Protocol document, but we have also provided
custom libraries to make programming sketches much easier.
NOTE Make sure your Blackmagic Camera’s tally number is set to 1.
