[QUOTE="Larry Morgan, post: 1665198, member: 4676"] I'm always curious as to what people use to control the lights. I know a lot of people use standard DMX stuff. Years ago I got the idea to build a custom MIDI controller for lights, though, so that way every light could be programmed as a note. Then the lights could be "played" along with a music track in a program such as Reason. I figured that would be easier to program... How hard is it to program with the software you are using? I kind of assumed it would be tedious, but I don't really have any experience with automated lighting stuff. I have one our of industrial automation controllers on my desk that I was thinking of taking home to automate my lights. It runs on ethernet, and has a way to publish the deployed program to the web. Long story short, I'm thinking of doing an interactive display, where people can join the network, connect to the controller, and switch the strands on and off an their leisure... Like I need another darn project... [/QUOTE]
