Ponddude Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 So I am thinking about using LOR for Halloween this year. My questions is can you use the LOR Motion Detector on the CTB16PC. I read the .pdf about the motion detector, but there was nothing listed about using it with that board. I did read however, that the board needs to be in stand alone mode. Does that mean that if I used my computer to control the lights and it is on the LOR network that it won't work?Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 LOR 1 = Must be stand alone.LOR 2 = I want to say that you will be able to run a musical sequence. I don't know if I'm dreaming, or if Dan posted it once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponddude Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 You wouldn't happen to know if you can use it with CTB16PC do you?Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 My money is on no, since hte CTB16PC can't run standalone. (It's late .. it can't do standalone, right?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale W Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 You could use a motion detector to activate a director's card to turn on and play a song.Depending on your motion detectors setting, it may turn off during a song. If you only have one song, it will repeat - if you have several songs, the trigger of the motion detector may turn off during subsequent songs. So, you can set your Motion detector to turn on, play a song or two, then follow it will a sequence where nothing happens until the motion detector resets itself.The director's card can control as many units as you want, provided they are linked together.

I use the DC-MP3 card attached to one controller as a "Show Director" (see my post)Are you saying that using the trigger input of that controller will activate the DC-MP3 to play? It (the DC-MP3) is powered from the controller.Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen a post from him on either here or PC. I know he said he was having some troubles with the computers and stuff. I hope he got everything back together and is on his way to PLUS.Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used a timer to control my MP3 card player and got the idea for the motion detector then. I am still toying with the idea for Halloween. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
