@@carlosmerlos1317 I appreciate your request and I am truly humbled that you would ask me to sell you completed modules. Unfortunately, this is the work of many contributors portions of the work are subject to the GNU General Public License - the software and instructions are free to share, however any sale or financial reimbursement could be considered a violation of the license terms. I am a strong supporter of open source projects and I am grateful for those that share their hard work. I have the following suggestions for your congregation. All of the parts are available from Amazon for both the original DIY modules and the extended / modified relay control version. My total cost for building the “On Air Light” module was less than $5, and the USB powered light I chose from Amazon was about $20. There only skills required should be available to you within your congregation. Ask around to see if anyone has soldering experience, they don’t have to be ‘experts’ just own a small pencil soldering iron and a roll of solder. The best candidates are Amateur Radio (HAM) operators in your congregation or community. I’m sure they can assemble these easily for you. I’ve linked the 3D printable case that was posted online, If you cannot find anyone in your congregation to produce them for you. There are also 3D printing services such as shapeways.com online, or many of the 3D Printing Stores can recommend hobbyists in your area that would be able to produce what you need quickly. There are a number of people who both contributed to this work and continue to support it. i’m sure any of us would be willing to answer any questions that come up as you build your own modules.

Wow this is by far the most sophisticated approach yet. We've just been writing a course on live camera production, and have come to the conclusion that having a Tally system is the absolute minimum a team need for communication. Our other solution if there's one controlled camera, is to send a feed from the multi-view to a screen for them to monitor, but that's a lot of cables, equipment and messing about, and far less intuitive compared with your solution here.

Past that, the only other things I can think to check are the distance to its wifi access point and like I mentioned before, the config settings that you put in when you started it up.

To make them bigger, so that they can be seen from stage, drill a hole in a ping pong ball the diameter of the led, stick the led in the hole, qnf a dab of hot glue will hold it.
