Need a pogram

  Hey i'm needing help writing another program. By the way the last one worked great. i need a program that will turn on three motors two led mini spot lights and start the sound when  a switch is turned on.  I'm having three sawblades (foam of coarse)drop out of a ceiling and the spotlights will shine on the blades and i'll have the sound of a saw playing through the sound card. I'm using a Prop 1 Controller and the AP-8 sound card. Also the motors for the saw blades run off of one AA battery each is it possible to power them from the Prop 1 ? Thanks in advance.

As always, the devil is in the details.  I can write that program -- I just need to know all the timing and sequencing specifics.  As for the motors, no problem; you'll actually use two 1.5v batteries because of the drop across the ULN.  To use the batteries you'll connect the + terminal of the batts to the respective motors and the - terminal of the batts to the GND terminal on the Prop-1.  Important: the V+ terminal on the Prop-1 will not be connected to the motors, though I suspect that will be the power source for the mini spots.

 Not really much of a timing thing. i'll be hooking an on off switch for the operator to turn on. once its turned on every thing happens at the same time. Lights,Motors Sounds all at once. The blades are spring loaded so the operator controls that part of it.

Okay, this one falls into the "no brainer" bin.
