Make Scoreboard OCR send data to Overlays.UNO

This shows how to send ScoreboardOCR data to Overlays.UNO scoreboard.

In Overlays.UNO pick a scoreboard you want to use. 
Scoreboard OCR will work with most overlays that I've tried, the ones that have "OCR INPUT" are easier. 


Some clocks you have to send the MINS and SECS separately. 


If the values are changing in the GUI but not on the scoreboard itself, sometimes pressing the "restart"
 button on the GUI will help.

  1. This example uses the "Football Scoreboard" in overlays.  If this is your first time, pick this one.

  2. Open up your overlay, then click on "Copy Uno Token"  (note, this copies an entire URL, not just the token)



  3. Open up ScoreboardOCR

  4. Select "Choose Output"

  5. Select "overlays.uno" from the drop down menu box

    IMPORTANT!!! Now this is the part that can throw you. The Token you copied earlier contain an entire URL.  You only want the token value at the end.  Paste it into notepad and modify there to look like the example below, then paste that into ScoreboardOCR.
    https://app.singular.live/apiv2/controlapps/YOUR_TOKEN

    Example:
    https://app.singular.live/apiv2/controlapps/6bKOvgHGqouD50d6

  6. Paste your URL into the box (make sure the box is empty) 

  7. Click on 'ADD"



  8. You'll see something like this:



  9. If you see a red box like this example, your syntax or token is wrong.



  10. Click on "Add Digits"



  11. Now click on 'ADD"



  12. Click on the down arrow in the upper right corner



  13. If you see data like this, showing a bunch of different values, then your scoreboardOCR is talking to Overlays.UNO.  These values are the ones available to you in Scoreboard OCR

  14. Select "ocrClock" and click "OK"



  15. Select "Time (mm:ss)"  

  16. Click "OK"



  17. Select "ocrClock" then click "Automatic"



  18. Highlight the clock in your scoreboard.
    Make sure that the highlighted value is the same as the data on the left (and changing appropriately)



  19. Goto your Overlays.UNO scoreboard and you should see the clock changing



Now you can adjust items like the scores, by repeating the steps above

The example below we've added "Team 1 Score" and "Team 2 Score"



Once your data is connected between the two systems, going back to "Choose Output" in Scoreboard OCR and hovering over the Overlays.UNO entry, you'll see more code that its sending. 

Might be handy for troubleshooting
