Drinky Bird Console mod!

[mstutzman]

Hello,
I am currently working on a console mod which would involve a Drinky Bird, and the "GO" button, rendering the Stage Manager/ Board Op position obsolete. So far I cant figure out proper placement of the glass of water, or getting it to press the G.O on cues with a frequency lower than every 5 seconds.

Any thoughts?

But how does one teach the bird to read SMPTE?

So far, I can get my stage manager to hit the go, for a glass of Beer, but it would it would still be be more economical, and accurate, if I can get this to work.

Well, that's obvious.

The glass of water sits in the bird's dressing room and you just make sure the director has lighting cues every five seconds.

Now one for you... Where did you get a drinky bird with an Equity card?!

really long fade times...

Multiple cues of the same thing? (Hmmm... that's 12 cues/minute. Hope your board copies cues...)

Sounds like this is getting to the point where it would just be easier to hit the Go button!

If it's a glass of beer per cue, I can see how accuracy would become more of a problem as the show progresses...
