I am concerned about the postings ive read.....especially by Genexer.....i saw that the DMX and/or exorcist is mentioned to run a monster in a box. It sounds as if the project is going to be more expensive then it has to be. The controller board i used does not require a computer or software, and can be activated by an IR sensor which i also use. If you need any info. on how to wire anything, i have it all, including wiring a relay into a fog machine trigger. I used a Gemmy 110v trigger. I can also provide info. on how to wire a 110v light to the controller board. If you have any questions, dont hesitate to ask. Especially if it saves you some bucks.
