Thread: Trash Can Trauma with mat sensor

Tweet

Hey everyone, I'm kinda new to the board. I've read about the trash can trauma prop, and have it roughly laid out, but I'd like to modify it to work with a pressure mat. Anyone have any success at this? I'm assuming that the prop would only work while someone's foot was physically pressing down on the mat, which is only about a 1 second event.....Not long enough for the prop to fully extend. Could I wire the mat to some sort of powered timer that would run for 3-5 seconds (or however long)?? This would make the mat more of a trigger than some sort of a timer....Anyone? I'd appreciate the assistance.......

That is the right site listed above but I think this might be what you are looking for....

It will probably be a cheaper alternative if you just want to set how low the prop is activated for.

Awesome. Now all I need to do if either buy the basic timer, or save up a few bucks and pick up a picoboo.....Thanks for all the help, it's definitely appreciated.
