Thread: Motion sensor/pressure mat help

Tweet

Thank you guys all very much! I love this forum so much because everyone is so quick to help one another.
I'll let you all know how everything turns out, but it'll be a while...no cash right now.

Maybe I missed it, but how are the props you have triggered now? Manual, push-button types can be easily "converted." Forum member Halstaff has done some fantastic R&D on simple controllers, see his posts. If build-it-yoursef is not your thing, you can buy ready to use controllers, but they cost more. Either route is not overly daunting to a new prop builder and there is a wealth of information in this forum.

I only have store-fresh animatronics with their own built in motion sensors.

You should be able to cut the leads from that motion detector and attach them to any other type of activating device, such as a pressure mat or any controller via a relay.
