Thread: VSA Interface

Tweet

Does anyone know the best interface to control servos and pneumatics with VSA. Last year I used a mini sc32 and a prop one board to control the above but I would like to have VSA control servos and pneumatics while having a prop one trigger event and control lighting.

I have used the digital outputs on an old Pontech SV203 servo controller to control a solid state relay (Clare LAA110) that triggered the solenoids. There's probably better ways to do it but that's what I had available.

I would recommend the Medusa board. One of the forum members, "Hooked on Scares" makes them and they would probably fit your needs. Keith

I 2nd the Medusa board. It is my favorite prop controller I have because it is capable of so much. The Medusa requires that you also have a USB --> DMX interface, but it's very worth having for VSA even without a Medusa. DMX is fantastic to have anyway, there are so many worthwhile options that open up with it. Amongst them are very long cable runs are possible, a lot of DJ lights, relays, dimmers, fog machines etc all use DMX, etc.
