Search for "RC servos". Basically any RC servo will work. They come in a variety of sizes from very small and cheap, to very large, strong, and expensive.

I apologize if this is obvious - I'm new to wiring. Regarding the power, since there is a white "jumper" wire from the VS terminal to the VD terminal, does it matter at all which terminal the red wire from the barrel connector is wired to? Here I see that it is wired to the VS terminal, but in the manual it is wired to the VD terminal.

Is it possible to expand control to 32 servos or link controllers to control 32
@frightideas8 ай бұрын
You can add multiple ServoDMX to a DMX bus. Theoretical max would be 32 ServoDMX for 512 servos as DMX supports up to 512 channels.

Awesome video. I need to learn how to use this! How do we determine if we are using a DC 12 volt or AC voltage?
@frightideas9 ай бұрын
Whatever device you are controlling should have a label on it indicating what kind of voltage it requires. If it is 12VDC, and the current (A) or (W) is lower than the current / wattage of the power supply, you can borrow power from the PicoBoo's supply. More info is in the Quick Start guide ... help.frightideas.com/104

@frightideas Жыл бұрын
Any device that outputs DMX should work as a controller. We haven't used the WMX1. As long as you can program it to change the channel values the way you want to move the heads it should work. Not sure how you do that on that device as it has no sliders. Maybe with the software.

I ordered this because this video states that the expansion port can be used to program PicoBoos.

Now I’m out $240 unless I order a picoboos flex which is out of stock. Not cool

This video is 12 years old so some things may not be the same. The expansion port is only used to upload sounds and update firmware with PicoBoos. That's generally only used for prop manufacturers that make a lot of props. Feel free to arrange a return.

Hi, is it possible to have the ambient music continue to play whist the scare noise plays over it? I want there to be a scream, but I don’t want the background noise to stop whilst it happens… Also the Sprite Media player can trigger different scenes. Can the Picoboo be incorporated into it and would it be possible to do a video showing how these two work together? I am in the UK and already own a few Sprite Media players, but buying and getting a picoboo here is expensive so I want to make sure it can do everything I require with it before I order a few of them too. Thanks :)
@frightideas2 жыл бұрын
Hi. The scare sound cannot play over the ambient. Only one sound can play at a time. A relay on the PicoBoo could be used to trigger the Sprite's input. But the Sprite only has one input, so only one video can be triggered. An input adapter is required if you want to be able to trigger more than one video.
