"Who is the best person to build our Dam? "Buster is!" they all shouted

Everyone has suggested everything that I had thought of. There is one method of fault finding that may help you although it is a bit of a ball-ache. Take the last device from the line and stick it on a new cable direct from the lighting board and stick a terminator in DMX out on that device. If...

Hi Aaron S - have you read my query and related thread about this? I have gone through this heartache aswell https://www.controlbooth.com/threads/cue-lights-rf-or-cabled-or-what.47826/At the moment I use a cheap 6-channel dmx dimmer with the dmx signal going into a dmx transmitter. Down at the...

Thank you very much

Hi all, I have just picked this up from ebay and wondered if anybody knows anything about this or has some instructions. I am sure it is a DMX foot switch - yeah I got that. But I am sure it does more than four operations. I have pressed one button whilst pressing another etc but cant get much...

Thanx for that, interesting reading from wikipedia :¬)

Hi @almorton and thank you for replying. I understand what you said and it sounds very interesting thank you. It is not something that we would do regularly throughout the year - this is an annual Christmas performance and I am looking for something special for 2022 (already <sigh> :¬) ). OK...

Hi all,I am wanting to 'haze' the insides of a small Church as I have some new lights coming soon and need mist for the effect. I have a medium 'smoke' machine, and, although it works well for what it was built for, it doesn't do what I want (as it fills the Church up with Fog!!) . This...

I can't help with the mechanics but I could offer this suggestion for the electronics. Depending on how quick you need this operational you could get the following devices from AliExpress.com or ebay (I see you are from USA so your link will be ebay.com). Wireless DMX could be a way to go. (So...

How about White Voille? :)

<phew> signupgenius.com is $8.99 / month for a basic account </phew>

... and a NO SALTY SNACKS SIGN aswell. Salt is the scurge of Tech stuff :¬)

@StradivariusBone - thanks for that - interesting read. I see where you are coming from. Out of all these methods I may look more seriously at the DMX option. It is a shame, however, that all we have (need) is such a simple thing. To be able to switch a light on to cue somebody - that is all it...

Very interesting reply @soundman I have a couple of nodemcu's knocking about somewhere I must drag them out again. Thank you for your input.

Hi @microstar , this is a great option, thanks. I had thought of this a while ago and made a good leap forward when I tried it. However I hit a wall and I can not remember for the life of me what my problem was. I must dig it the old project out from "Old projects" cupboard. Thanks.
