This is a really cool device and lets you use your cell phone, tablet, or a computer to fire all your modules. Want to fire one at a time it works great BUT it also lets you script out shows and ignition and really lets you do a lot more with this cheap system. Still working on getting a good screen recording of the Crackle Show Creator app to show you how to put a show together. Right now playing with the DMX Cube though :) Not sponsored at all.. just really like this system and I signed up for the Beta to try the DMX cube and to use some DC24A's as well.

Dude, you need an affiliate link for them. I have been scouring the web looking to see if someone had come up with something like this, I know arduino and raspberry pi's can handle this stuff pretty well but i didn't have the time to put in to building something. I will be buying one of these sometime between now and March (gotta get ready for july 4). Would be nice to buy it through your link or maybe even get a discount lol! Thanks again for the quality videos.

I can ask Steve when I send him a note next about the DMX cube :) BUT he is a one man shop, not sure if he can do the link or not.. but honestly Pyro's helping Pyros my friend!! I had no clue this thing existed 6 or so months ago either and now I am just trying to spread the word!! Man my little cheap system can do SO MUCH now!! And when the DMX cube really hits it's going to be the cheapest most versatile DMX option I think too... Steve is doing awesome work!!

Thanks for bringing this device to my attention, it seems like the cheapest solution to get a scripted show after already investing in a bunch of cheap chinese modules. I was messing around with the software and it seems easy to use and I'll probably buy one eventually. The only complaint I have with the software is it currently has some sort of online DRM and it always needs to be connected to the internet...if your internet goes out then the app will crash (on pc at least). This seems like an unnecessary feature since the software is capable of running totally offline based on my testing with a custom network environment.
@denfireworks Жыл бұрын
So you can run it offline (and I do run it offline a lot because you need to connect to the crackle cube wireless network to synch to it. BUT Your stash and the shows it does upload to their server, that way they are available from your PC and your phone/tablet etc... I am heavily invested in the cheap system too, but REALLY wanted to do a scripted show... This thing is great to let me do that!
@offthewall8829 Жыл бұрын
Ah I see, I was wondering how it worked. I think the constant checking for script changes and trying to upload them when it's unable to is what's causing the app to crash. The program is great otherwise though and it even helps to organize a manually fired show since I can print everything out.

It's a cool little system, however I could never walk away from Cobra. My modules and remote got absolutely drenched in rain during a recent show and everything fired as it should have and there was not internal damage because cobra is so rugged. These little modules once there done they are done.

Have you have used the R12 with the crackle cube and 1.4 Pro cakes? I've used standard bilusocn system with the 4 cue receiver with cheaper igniters (not firewire) and had failed ignition (they did work well with poked cakes). I'm going to have test runs prior to the 4th holiday but, just curious if you had any experiences with the R12.
@denfireworks4 ай бұрын
LOVE The R12! I have a video on it I will link to another comment too... (2) 9v batteries instead and you can check the voltage, sequence fire, and more!! So I use the Happiness 4 cue and the Happiness R12's and have never had a problem with the "other matches" firing a poked cake.... The bilusocn should fire them all as well though?? Was it 9 shot NOABs that had a problem? Because some of them have an extra lift cup in the way of the powder so you need to poke them differently... Did the matches still pop for you? Or did the match not even go off? If so you might need to look at how you are poking the cakes... Do you hear the crunch of the black powder when you go in?

Hey Den, I have a troubleshooting question for you on the cube. I'm trying to pair my cube to my ipad, and it refuses to pair. I did everything I was supposed to.. Connect to the crackle cube network, hit the small button until lights flash, hit area 1 cue 1 on the module, and nothing happens. the lights continue to flash and wont pair. I tried to re-pair it with the original 1200 controller and it paired right away with no issues. Any suggestions?
@denfireworksАй бұрын
Not an Apple guy... BUT I think there was a bug Steve did an update for in the IOS version so make sure you update to the newest version.... In the crackle cube show creator is your Crackle Cube listed in the window as well? It SHOULD work just like the control deck though... So start the module in synch mode and keep it in sync mode.... Hit the button in the IPad screen and leave your finger pressed on the screen then release pairing mode on the Mod then let the button go on the Ipad.... I found it easier to do with a mouse VS my surface touch screen but that could just be me...
@wh6763Ай бұрын
@denfireworks Thanks! I've tried on my Droid, an IPad, and my laptop. I haven't tried holding down the reset button as the same time as I pressed the cue button, so I'll try that. When I tried to pair with my laptop it was connected, and it showed my cube, but it still wouldn't make the connection. Its just weird how it pairs so easy with the controller, but it just won't pair though the cube.
