bobschm Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I would love to be able to operate my lights wirelessly. Imagine calling up a hardware utility app and testing lights while standing outside. Or calling up a particular show/sequence while standing in the crowd. Any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beeiilll Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Yea it is great to be able to do this.I use a laptop to run the controllers out in the yard while doing set up to test things as well as run sequences to see how the timings are working.Been doing it since 2008 when I started.I have seen forum posts from folks who are using iPhones to control things and other forms of remote trigger and controls.

DownTown Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I use the iPad to remote control my LOR PC, so I can run hardware test and test sequences while I'm out front (or on the roof). It's the only way to fly...D.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsMeBobO Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Take a look at miip on this page. Its a web page which any guest can use to pick a song. Set up required to tell the server your song list.http://miip.mobi/help/MemberDocumentation.htmlhttp://itsmebob.com/SD.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When she calls about a computer problem, she usually says something like, "I hit on that thing and a thing came up and now I can't play solitaire any more."

Dad02 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Just thinking out loud on this but if there is a mobile app that lets a person choose a song, can it be tied to a small fee for your charity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsMeBobO Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Sure it will be supported and will be available for upcoming season. The MIIP server program had a pretty big behind the scenes upgrade in February. Last season we had new people trying to use features in ways that were not expected. So the announcement feature was reworked and put through the ringer on my test server. It needs a user tester now to confirm its all good.At the current time I am working on Vegomatic and another secret tool for RGB matrix programming. So I have MIIP on a hold and have not reset its date. But I am promising I will.This one requires that you register via email since the client program and the server program work together.
