Thread: need help with prop controller!!

Tweet

is there a pneumatic prop controller out there that i can run multiple props off of by them selves? i want them to have their own triggers so i can use one for like 4 or 5 props. thanks

I use a computer with a program called DMXorcist that collects various VSA routines and then can be controlled at one place. It uses DMX signals to communicate with the props. For more info see this: Integrated Haunt Control using DMX/VSA=

You can use a Boobox Flex Max but this is not beginner stuff. You can have up to 16 outputs and 8 inputs for triggers. Mind you these can control 12v or 24v because they have solid state connections. If you want 120v you will have to buy relay packs or relay plugs.

You also need a Scaremaster controller to program the unit. Trust me when working with any controller with more then 4 outputs it is great to "close" the channel out to allow you to program the next routine.

Another option is to link Boobox Flexes together and put a time delay on them. I did this for a few of them and it works great. One trigger to set both units off. The first one goes off then 40sec later the next will go off. Of course you can change this to whatever time you want. Just another option for you.

thanks. ive been looking at the boobox flex max but wasnt sure if it would work or not. i want to be able to use it for a while and not have to buy seperate controllers for each prop cause that would be expensive
