This is the first time trying to program a prop with more than one movement, this prop has 4. The prop is a Yoggoth from unit 70. First is lift (back), second is arms up and down, third is head up and down, and forth is head side to side. The prop will be triggered by IR and have sound with an AP-8. for a total run time of 7sec.

Here's a framework that should get you going.  You will need to fill in the moves section.  Let's say you want the Back and Arms to come up at the same time and hold for half-a-second; you'd code it like this:

  Back = Up
  Arms = Up
  PAUSE 500


Here's the framework:

You could also use Vixen to create a program for this; see the Vixen section in our Library.
