For a project I'm currently working on, I want to be able to control a fog machine via the prop-1, so I have modified the foggers existing control button to be replaced with a relay that interfaces with the prop-1!  So now you can execute fog blasts at key moments in a program.  The how-to even includes a program that blasts fog based on the status of a button connected to PIN6.  Check it out and add any comments/questions to this thread.

Unpleasant Street Prop-1 Fog Control

Very Cool! I did something very similar to this with a mini-PLC a friend of mine has given me. It has the relay contacts built in. I especially like the fact the you used a phono jack for a quick disconnect to the relay!

Good Job!! :)

Scaring someone with a prop you built -- priceless!
