Hello,I'm trying to find a way to correct the perspective of a projection which shows a room looking through the vantage point of a window. The viewers will be appx. 20' away from the screen and will be moving left to right. I would like to have the image account for the perspective change...

I'm trying to have an actor hold a walkie and listen to a cop on the other end. I have a sound clip of the police that I would like to play over the walkie. Does anyone know a simple mod to the walkie or a way to broadcast via computer? Any advice would be appreciated, I'm kinda stuck with...

Im very new at Arduino and am trying to figure out a project that would allow me to control a halloween hayride wagon when it comes into each scene. There are a total of 10 scenes and 4 wagons. I was thinking each scene could have a number in chronological scene order being transmitted from...

Thanks everyone! I already have sensors and such, I'm moreso looking for a way to runny he logic behind this whole wirelessly synced method. I am completely new to all this so it's a little confusing..:(Dan

Thanks for all the feedback! The budget is fairly small however could be extended if need be. I really am looking for something that could be automatically triggered by the location of the wagon along the hayride path. Basically when you enter a scene the lighting/sound will change and the...

Sorry for the double post, bud does anyone know of any answers?

I was looking for a way to control lights and sounds for a hayride and am looking at possibly having some lights and speakers onboard the hayride. I have an effect in my head where sound and lights go off in the scene and make their way into the hayride itself (i.e. an explosion throws light and...

I work for a halloween attraction and I have been doing sound a certain way for a while now; however I feel that there is a more efficient way of doing it.Basically, I have sound running off of a computer (which has effects cued into it to output certain sounds) then the computer connects to...

Correct me if I'm wrong, (i didn't build the circuit so I'm not really sure how it works) but the tin foil is connected to a sensor which has a screw going through the foil and back into itself. I looked everywhere online and it seems to be a capacitive sensor. The sensor has a light on the...

The effect is for a walkthrough attraction I am a part of. When guests step on the foil, they trigger the sound to play in that specific room. The reason I need a large foil piece is because i want to fit it under a door mat and I need something big enough that I can be sure each guest will...

I have a special effect that is triggered by someone stepping on an aluminum foil plate that is on the floor which is connected to a capacitive sensor which then goes to the effect's computer. When I put a small piece of foil on the end of the sensor, the sensor works fine (I touch the foil and...

I got it working thanks FMEng

If i reboot the PC with only the circuit plugged in I get an error saying theres no keyboard. If i plug in my USB keyboard while the circuit is in as well and do the CTRL-P command on that it works fine. It seems like the computer just isn't recognizing the CTRL-P command from the circuit.

I had a circuit made for a haunted house I work on that utilized a tin foil step plate to trigger a sound effect. The circuit works by the guest stepping on the plate, which sends a signal to a series of relays that then use the ps2 keyboard keys [CTRL] followed by [P], which when connected to...

Do you think one AC outlet would be too much power for the splitter hub/USB cables/booklights to handle?
