Matrix remote controller

I made this device to remotely control the outputs assignment of Gefen Matrix: 8×8 DVIKVM DL Matrix

It allow to switch inputs from main source to backup source, you can just switch the GUI or all outputs.

The controller send Telnet command to switch outputs ( the preset recall doesn’t work very good)

If you want to build yours there is all the ressources:

  • The box can be 3D printed, the files are availables on Thingiverse
  • The Arduino code is available on GitHub
  • For the electronic hardware you only need:
    • Arduino borad, like Uno or Mega
    • Ethernet Sheild
    • 5x Arcade Button with LED
    • Some wires

You can customize the commands send by each buttons, the center button is just to enable the controller, to avoid accident…

If you need to add more button, send different commands or use another protocol for something else you can contact me.
