Hello, I'm trying to make a trigger when i go live on youtube. I will have an "On Air" sign that's usb powered and i want it to turn on when i go live. I don't have a parts list so if you come up with an idea I'd love that.
Not exactly what i meant but thank you for your time.
What did you mean, then?
To be fair @killzone_kid 's solution fits the description you gave. So it is funny, but also maybe a hint.
What more can you tells us?
Who or what knows you have gone live? It does awfully sound like you just need to close a switch - if your Arduino knows when, just have it energize a relay or, in thus century, perhaps close a circuit using a MOSFET switch wired to the ON AIR thing's power supply or in place of the power switch.
I don't think powered by USB implies controlled by USB.
You say you will have this sign, do you have any in mind or are you making your own?

This is the sign.
Its usb bus powered and what I want an arduino to do is ping the youtube server seeing whenever i go live and if i am live to trigger a normally closed relay to turn on the light.
What is your experience with Arduino/C++? Any soldering experience? Does youtube provide API for this sort of thing? Have you tried searching for similar projects?
Maybe you will need a IFTTT-service in your project.
If this -> than that.
If click "go life" than turn on the light.
Something to read for more inspiration:

I'm kinda experienced, I know how to solder. I'm not sure if they do, I think they do though.
@Oudholland
Thank you. I'll have to look into this!
Wouldn't it make sense to start from the end result and work backwards? Come back when you researched the subject and have a good idea how to do this but need specific problem solving
YouTube does in fact provide API.
Also found this.
The script will just need to be edited.
There are no scripts in Arduino. Only "sketches", "programs", "source code"...
Well then you're wrong.
I'm blocking you. Good luck with your project.
LOL. I didn't do anything.
