Done, thanks!

Yeah, it is on and reachable by ping. I can PuTTY into it. And dont sweat it, I can use the hardware dry contact input for this show since theres nothing complicated and it just has to switch the house to one bus. Im so happy to hear about OSC, that is all it was missing for our needs! It'll be...

You have no idea how happy that makes me! Thats what I've had our little community theater running on since I started with them almost 10 years ago!I do have a timely question on the current version though. I came to this thread to ask for suggestions because I haven't been able to get...

I havent been around for a bit so sorry for bumping old threads lol.. But yeah sprinkler valves are not instant-off. And the more resistance there is in the water line (via nozzles), the longer they take to close completely. You would need solenoid water valves, such as those used in...

That would be "slipping on banana peels".. They made a "skating rink" covered in banana peels to see how slippery it was racing from cone to cone, then they did the same thing after covering the course in J-Lube (distributed by water guns of course!) as the comparison.. It was comical! They...

I have one that just went out as well (SlimPAR64). It just decided that it needed to be full on, and refuses to respond to the console. When it is plugged in, it actually also messes with the fixture directly upstream of it in the chain, causing it to not respond either. It is in 4CH DMX...

IIRC it has to do with the dimmer's zero crossing detector circuit. The zero crossings (where the sine wave hits 0V twice per cycle) are different on different phases of a 3-phase system. It might work with circuits on opposite legs of a split-phase system, depending on how the dimmer is...

Just FYI, those packs actually require two circuits on the same phase/leg. They will not work properly with the circuits on different phases. Unless you know your venue, finding suitable circuits can be a daunting challenge (especially since the 6-circuit ones have 5-20P's).

EGC pins are always longer in any line/mains voltage connector.. Edisons, stage pins, twist lock, IEC, etc. It's to ensure that the chassis/safety ground connects first, so if there is a hot - chassis short in the equipment, that the ocpd will trip out before the chassis can become energized.

Well I don't have any issue with the color, but as an IT guy who has had to rewire closets where zipties have been liberally applied, using zipties to bundle cable in general make me cringe. I always use velcro... ;)

Its not Ghost, it's called Ghost in the Meadow (Joe Simonelli). I did read the Ghost Musical thread and watched the youtube videos there, because i thought it would be useful. Unfortunately there is absolutely no way to do it with the door as the "ghost". The door needs to be physical - the...

According to the thread over there, the venue does.. For $20 each per night... :D

That "Flex seal" stuff they advertise on TV (you know, the stuff where they replace the bottom of a boat with a screen door then coat it and float it) comes in gallons, might be worth a try.

LOL Whoooopsie!!

Ok I've hit my next snag.. This show has a scene where a ghost is supposed to appear in a doorway, then disappear as an actor runs through the door. I thought this would be a perfect application for Pepper's Ghost, however when I thought it out, the illusion works "backwards" of what I need...
