Thread: Prop Controller

Tweet

The other day I was searching for a prop controller,and found one with 8 different blue programmable switches,was a naked circuit(not in a plastic box like a picaboo)and was used on a giant spider,that sprayed water,and moved in many different ways,and now I cannot found it back.
Can you help me,telling me what kind-brand of prop controller is it?
Thanks in advance.

Are you sure you aren't thinking of the Kit 74 relay board . The reason I ask is the description sounds like it.

Are you thinking of the EZ-8 by EFX-TEK - http://www.efx-tek.com/topics/ez-8.html
I have one and it's great!

No,no kit 74,and no Halstaff,There is a video with somebody talking how to program it,each swith programs one movement,no computer programs needed to make it work.
Thanks for your ideas,Alex.

Sounds like you are tailing about the Key Banger: http://www.dcprops.com/control.htm (half way down the page).

That sounds like what he's talking about although it's only a 6 channel keybanger. The EZ-8 doesn't require programming either and it's an 8 channel keybanger.

I think MonkeyBasics is right,this is the one I was talking about,even thought the ez-8,looks the same with two more channels,and way cheaper.What do you think?Which ones is better?and if one wants to add sound to synchronized with the movements,Which is the best way to do it?
Thanks.Alex.

I'm looking to program something like this:

Let's say I go with the ez-8,how can I include sound?Can I conect one output to activate a mp3 player?and how can i connected it?

Check out this great thread by Darklore on the use of prop controllers including the EZ-8 - http://hauntforum.com/showthread.php?t=19719
You could hook up a pair of computer speakers to the relay. Since you'd be using an audio track that can start at any point, you'd turn on the mp3 player which would just keep playing your looped sound track. The relay would just turn the speakers on and off providing the audio when required.
