Programming Arduino Sketches
The programs, or sketches, written into the Arduino software are very easy to write! Sketches
are written using common ‘C’ programming language. When programming your sketches using
commands from the Studio Camera Control Protocol, the shield embeds these commands into
the SDI output which lets you control your Blackmagic URSA Mini or Blackmagic Studio Cameras.
All supported commands are included in the Studio Camera Control Protocol section of this
manual so you can take the commands from the protocol and use them in your sketch.
Testing your Blackmagic Shield
and Library Installation
After everything is connected as described in the ‘Getting Started’ section and you have
installed the setup software and library files, you’ll want to check that your shield is
communicating with the Arduino board and that everything is working as it should.
A fast way is to open and run the supplied tally blink example sketch.
To do this:
1
Launch the Arduino IDE software.
2
Go to the ‘tools’ menu and select the Arduino board and Port number.
3
From the ‘File’ menu, select ‘Examples/BMDSDIControl’ and choose the sketch
named ‘TallyBlink’.
4
Upload the sketch to your board.
