Tally light controlled by Windows?

[niqht]

I am doing some streaming stuff with students and working with what I have means I am using laptops to OBS stream RTSP to a main OBS workstation that then sends the final stream. I have 2 on tripod dollies and one in backpack as a mobile camera/interviews.
I have been digging for a while, but can't find any way to do this.... Is there a way to do a tally light directly from Windows? I feel like a USB light with an OBS plugin would be easy, but just isn't a thing that is done :/.

I was looking into Tally Arbiter with Pi's, but then I have to figure batteries for them.

I'm working with OBS + Tally + Arduino UNO interfacing with Datavideo PTZ RMC-180 MARK II and 4 PTC-140 HD PTZ Cameras. The scope: The Arduino will run a networked webserver, receiving websocket commands from OBS and sending digital signals to the RMC-180.

Je travaille avec OBS + Tally + Arduino UNO interfacés avec Datavideo PTZ RMC-180 MARK II et 4 caméras PTC-140 HD PTZ. La portée : L'Arduino exécutera un serveur Web en réseau, recevant des commandes Websocket d'OBS et envoyant des signaux numériques au RMC-180.

Bonjour

A quick google search for "usb gpio" (without quotes) turns up a ton of hits. Find one that can run from a script (possibly after a driver install), and then put the appropriate scripts into the Run action of the Advanced Scene Switcher plugin.
