a few notes just in case, you will need an air compressor to run the pneumatics, your laptop must be running windows to operate vsa ( not mac )

also if you know how to solder or wire then you could just open up the fog machine remote and splice in a 120v relay so that you could trigger the fog machine by plugging in the relay, so you could plug the relay into the dmx relay pack and not need a dmx controlled fog machine.
That makes a lot of sense. I did find a site (Garage-of-Evil) that had a tutorial on how to hack in a fogger remote. So, I have two options there. Alright, I do believe I now have all the information needed to be dangerous and get some parts ordered. I'll keep everyone up-to-date on my progress. I'll start a new thread so I won't hijack this one any longer.

Thanks mucho!
