Using VSA with a prop2

hi all,

Is it possible to load the commands from the PC software VSA ontot the prop2?  I am trying to build a self contained animted prop that can be triggered from a motion sensor.  The VSA can control the servos, but I cannot figure out how to trigger it to start based on a motion. 

Thanks

Mike

No, I don't think so -- but, then, I don't use VSA so I could be wrong.  We use Vixen to create simple digital (non-servo) sequences for the Prop-1 and Prop-2.  Storing sophisticated servo movements takes a lot of memory and, therefore, may not be possible with the Prop-1 or Prop-2.  This thread will give you an idea of the complications involved with advanced servo programming -- this is why PCs are being used for products like Skulltronix, etc.
