I am intending to build a full size zombie containment unit using all the parts available from Hi-Rez Designs. I understand this will be quite an undertaking and was wondering if anyone here has built such a device?

Hello Aviator24. I am in the process of building one now. I am building the large upright box instead of the barrel. I ordered all the parts from Hi-Rez except the pneumatics which I already had. Hope to start the box construction this week. I put all the electronics together and tested them and everything works great!! Should be a lot of fun. I will start a thread when I get started. If you would share some pics of yours!!

I'd like to try this too but maybe controlled by a raspberry pi. Anyone thought of a good way to trigger relays if you're not buying the hardware from HiRez?

Only thing I can think of is to just try to time it out and have the relays fire at 32 sec into the clip (or whatever) . I worry that this might cause synch problems once the video starts looping.

I'd welcome your thoughts! Thanks!

Been digging. Seems something like this might work if you put DTMF tones (telephone keypad beeps) on the L channel of your video and the SFX on the R (or vice versa) and hooked up a splitter so the left channel was going into the board and the right was going to speakers.

I'm betting that's what the Hir-ez one does (and it's one tenth the price!)


EDIT: Fixed link
