Program for exorcist room show

I bought two Prop2s at HauntX this year and I remember you said that the programming is a little different.  I will be using one of them for my Exorcist room and I am chaging quite a few things in that room this year. 

This is what I have to use:

Prop2

24VDC power supply

RC-4

AP-8  (two if needed)

Relays (can be controlled by Pins or Outs)

izombie lightning machine (to make lights dim off and on and make a changing portrait change)  The CD and lightning machine will be on continuous and I will use a relay to open and close the circuit from the CD player to the izombie.

Manual trigger (will trigger a relay to complete the circuit on which ever port you choose for the trigger)

Here is the time line for events and what I'll be using.

Lights normal on

When triggered

1. Baby craddle will rock  (12VDC motor using a relay and it's own power supply because it draws too many amps to run though the prop2)

( 5 seconds inbetween)

2. Baby talks (AP-8) 1 track

( 8 seconds )

3. trigger izombie

4. Dresser Draws slam  (12VDC wipper motor, using a relay and own power supply) 

( 7 seconds  )

5. Baby spits  3 seconds ( 110VAC water pump, relay and own poewr supply or DC-4 )

6.  Everything stops and izombie is off.    (Timeline up to #6 is 23 seconds total)

( 5 seconds )

7. Trigger izombie

8. Bed bounces ( 110VAC solenoid controling 4 cyclinders, DC-4)  Random the on off cycle between .5 and 3 seconds)  I may need to play with those times once I see how well works or not.

( 10 secconds )

9. Bed levitates ( solenoid stays on )

( 3 seconds )

10. Reagan sits up ( 24VDC 3 watt solenoid )

( 4 seconds )

11.  Reagan Talks  ( AP-8 one track for 30 seconds )

( 12 seconds )  ( 12 seconds into Reagan talking not at the end )

12.  Head spins ( 110VAC motor - DC-4)

( 10 seconds )

13. Head stops spinning ( turn motor off )

( 9 seconds )

14. Reagan lays down ( 24VDC solenoid off)

( 3 seconds )

15.  Bed drops ( 110VAC solenoid off )

16. izombie off

17.  Goto Main  ( total time from #6 - #17 is 56 seconds.  Entire show is 79  seconds)


Thank you

Daniel

Here you go, Daniel.  This version seems to be missing the random lamp control that you had last year -- did you leave that out or just decide you don't need it.  It would easy to add to the jumping bed loop using a separate RC-4.

And for those wondering if I could have squeezed that program into a Prop-1... yes, but just barely.

Thanks Jon, you Rock!

Last year I had the RC-4 turn off the lights and turn on a strob light.  This year I thought it would be more realistic and spooky to just have the lights dim and flicker like something was disturbing the electricity, plus it works well with the changing protraits we made in March.  I am hoping to have this room completed this weekend and I'll let you know how it comes out.  Also I'm getting a new computer so I will be able to post video and you can see it working.

Thanks again!

Daniel

Hey Jon,

I am having a few problems.  The RC-4 is not working.  I have it hooked up to PIN15 and then the AP-8 hooked up to the RC-4.  I haven't finished recording the sounds for the AP-8 so I do not know if that is working or not.   I changed the ULN on the Prop2 and removed the jumper.  Is there anything I forgot?  I am having a few other problems, but i will double check all of my connections before bothering you with them.

Daniel

Since you have the RC-4 first in the chain it is probably the baud rate jumper -- it needs to be out for the Prop-2 to use high-speed comms.
Jon McPhalen
EFX-TEK Hollywood Office

MassageMstr1

If you are talking about the two pin baud on the RC-4 just below the seral pins, the jumper is already off.  I thought the RC-4 had to go first because it gets it's power from the prop1 or prop2.

JonnyMac

What is the Rev code on your RC-4?  On boards that support full serial communications you should find two, 3-pin headers for the serial connection near the K1 terminal, then below that three, 2-pin headers; the 2-pin header closed to the serial headers is the baud selection, put a jumper on it for 38.4K comms.

Hey Jon,

I'm having problems getting the AP-8s to work.  I added a second AP-8 to the code below.  The doll is suppose to talk at #1 for 28 sec, and then at #3 for 8 sec.   Those of those sound tracks are on AP8 %00    Reagan talks at #12 for 12 sec.  She is on AP8_2 %01.  I have played the sounds fron both AP-8s and they work.  But neither one is working when hooked up to the Prop2. 

I have switched the ULN to ULN2003 (the shorter one).  I'm going from PIN 15 to the RC-4 serial (the RC4 works)  Then from the other serial on the RC-4 to the AP8 %00 serial.  Then from the other serial on AP8 %00 to AP8 %01. 

I have the jumper off B/R on both AP-8s.  I have Id1 and Id0 jumpers off AP-8 %00 and the Id1 jumper off AP-8 %01.  And I have the switches all turned on for 2, 1, 0  on both AP-8s

What did I miss or is the code incorrect?

When using the Prop-2 at 38.4K baud you need the B/R jumper on.
Jon McPhalen

Jon-
Sorry, but doesn't the jumper on the RC4 have to be on to communicate with a prop2?

Shawn
Shawn
Scaring someone with a prop you built -- priceless!

JonnyMac

When using ANY EFX-TEK accessory with the Prop-2 or Prop-SX at 38.4K baud, the B/R jumper needs to be installed.  Also, unless you have Rev. D AP-8 modules, the RC-4 must be connected to the Prop-2 first so that it gets power (the Rev. D AP-8s pass power through, earlier revisions don't).

The code looks fine; I made a couple very minor efficiency tweaks.
