| At [[events:fusion18]] we ran a two camera setup for recording only. With the flight cases for room 1 and room 2 came two tallycoms whose config differed from their label and whose config was inconsistent. | At [[events:fusion18]] we ran a two camera setup for recording only.

| Getting voctolight on both tallycoms to (manually) work took unnecessarily much time. It boils down to being new to the matter, wrong labels, wrong config and different behavior after correcting the config, due to different base OS versions ([[https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=187225]]). | Getting voctolight on both tallycoms to (manually) work took unnecessarily much time.

| === Sources/Hints === | ### Conclusion |
| | The tallycoms were in an undefined state. They should either be checked prior to sending them out to the next event or a solution should be provided to quickly reset them at the event. One solution could be to have (pre-baked) working images per device (on e.g. the local encoder), which just need to be flashed to a microSD card, stuck back into the tallycom and $profit. If pre-baked images seem overkill, the process of flashing them with a base OS and running ansible against them should be made more straight forward/documented better. |
