This sketch provides the simultaneous control of up to 8 GoPros with the serial monitor. The status of all cameras is continuously displayed.
It can also be used with GoEasyPro.
GoPro Hero 5 black, HERO 7 black and HERO 8 tested
A big thank you to theContentMint for the inspiration for UDP and the port being used.

Change the MAC addresses to yours for Cam1Mac to Cam8Mac
Unprogrammed cameras are recognized and you are asked whether they should be paired. However, this is only temporary until the power supply is interrupted or the module is reset.
With the pairing request, the mac of the cam is displayed. So the mac of the cam can be found out in a simple way.
Open serial monitor and use the following commands:
help - Shows this help
info - Shows infos
wakeup - Wakes up cameras that are in deep sleep (power0 sent)
on - Switches the smart remote on
off - Switches the smart remote off
start - Start recording
stop - Stop recording
video - Switches to video mode
photo - Switches to photo mode
burst - Switches to burst mode
timelapse - Switches to timelapse mode
power0 - Turns off all cameras (deep sleep)
If your camera does not connect, connect a smart remote in the camera while RC is active.
For some fun, you can uncomment //#define PRINTLCD. You will then see an LCD screen in the serial monitor. It looks like this:

I use this program to control 4 cameras at the same time. To do this, I use software on the PC. You can find this under GoEasyPro, written in vb.net with MS Visual Studio.
For use with GoEasyPro, //#define GOEASYPRO must be uncommented
Go to GoEasyPro
