Thread: Is there a How-To on...

Tweet

how to rig up your animated props with your own motion sensor? Or something similar to that?

Some of the animatronics I have now, it seems that the sensor isn't strong enough to pick up certain movements, but I built a motion sensor from a "How To" I found on this board... and it works for my lights great... I just don't know how to do it for any old animatronic... I'm also scared of opening them up and playing with their wires in fear I just may totally kill my prop...

I'm very new at all this... prior to finding this website, I'd buy most props, throw some lights in front of them and call it a haunt... this place has definitely opened me to all sorts of new ideas... so thank you for that...

with the motion sensor props, I shine a dim colored light on were the sensor is, that way the sensor has something better "see" movement & start prop.

Any specific type of light that you use? And where can they be found at?
