#Qlab go button box how to
As I don't know how to upload stuff to this group I have published the information to my website. I decided that what I needed was a box with a nice illuminated button which I can press to trigger the 'Go' and it occurred to me that I could build one with an old USB keyboard. This might be OK for someone who does this day in day out for living, but I work in amateur theatre and only do this three or four times a year hence my problem. I usually have to take my eyes off the script to check my finger is paused ready over the correct key which means that I then have to re-locate my place in the script ready for the queue. I have always felt uneasy about using the keyboard of a computer to trigger queues in a darkened theatre as there are too many opportunities to press the wrong key. I'm not sure if anyone else has posted something similar, so apologies if this is a duplication.
