I am very very green when it comes to working with prop 1. I am trying to learn but running out of time. I open my haunted house this Friday ( tomorrow) and need a code for my electric chair guy. I have made a shake and bake guy with two pneumatics one in the back and one in the butt to make him shake
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w41pxso7IY8). I am using a foger and a red light to light the eyes. I am using a PIR sensor for the trigger. I can not get a code to work all that and give the trigger a 45 second cool down before resetting my prop off. Does any one have that code ??? I just want him to work on the PIR Sensor trigger for my haunt this weekend.. please help

One of the nightmares (pun intended) about writing code remotely is getting all of the information.  Many of us have written electric chair code and all programs have unique sequences.  In addition to the shaking you have a light and a fogger.  When should they come on in relation to the shaking?  How long should the shaking last?

Details are important.  And, please... don't make anyone watch a video and reverse engineer the process.  You will get code that does what you want when you take a second to spell out exactly what you want!  ;D

I've got a program started, just waiting for your details.

Thanks for a fast reply and once again I am very new. I would like the back manifold to jerk for 10 seconds very violently . The bottom manifold to shake him for 8 second, 1 second delay from the shaking at the bottom from when the  back jerking starts and a 1 second delay before the back jerking ends .I only posted the video because I don't know how to describe that action besides seeing it. I would like the fog to start 2 seconds into the start of the back jerking and last 5 seconds. the light in the eyes to start when the back starts jerking. there needs to be a 60 second delay before it is ready to be triggered by the PIR sensor again.  thank you once again.

Keep in mind that a program is a list of instructions so providing your behavior in a list is usually a little easier to follow than one, bunched-up paragraph.

I think this will do what you want.  The outputs on my Trainer board are behaving as they should.  Do keep in mind that the Light and Fogger must be controlled through relays.

Thank you so much. I am going to take this year after my haunt to understand how to write and understand the code. Love these Prop 1 controls!!!! Can't wait to see what all I can make now.
