Cast Moderator Centipede is an Arduino script used to setup Cast Moderator in bulk. The script is compiled and uploaded to a keyboard enabled micro controller. The Arduino is then powered or executed and walks through the setup flow. Setup Example Video The eeprom branch can be used to setup multiple Cast Moderators and automatically change accounts. It requires using an Arduino with EEPROM memory.

• Google Chromecast
• Arduino with HID Keyboard functionality
  • Arduino Micro for example
• USB splitter with USB-C Data and Power ports
  • Tested using Anker USB-C, Hub Power Expand 6-in-1

1. Clone this repo to your local device.
2. Edit in an Arduino IDE to enter your WifFi SSID, Password, Google Workspace Username, and Password.
   • Optionally adjust timings where needed to accommodate network speed and potential downloads.
   • When creating accounts on the domain use the same password. Secure accounts by turning off services such as gmail and drive which are not needed.
   • Google accounts can only be used on up to 90 devices.
   • When using a non-Google SSO it's best to place the cast accounts in an org unit set to Google as the SSO.
3. Compile and upload to the arduino.
4. Connect the tail of your USB-c splitter to the Chromecast.
5. Connect the Chromecast to the HDMI.
6. Connect the Power to the USB and let it boot.
7. When prompted pair the remote.
8. Once paired plug in or reset the Arduino. Code will begin the click after the set delay; 10 seconds.
9. Once asked to explore thr Chromecast it can be disconnected and installed in a Classroom. When booted it will load Cast Moderator immediately.
