Scary Terry Board for talking skulls.

Assembled Unit $34.95

Kit                      $24.95

Assembled Unit with ISD chip (60 sec.)   $42.95

Kit with ISD chip (60 sec.)                        $32.95

Operates off of a 5, 6, or 9 to 24VDC supply.

The unit comes with a 4-AA battery holder to operate it off of batteries

 

 

 

PET III (Programmable Effect Timers)

PET-III-R2 or Vari-PET-R2                     $49.95

PET-III-R2-OEM or Vari-PET-R2-OEM $39.95

Now you don't have to remove power to be able to go into the programming mode!

Automatic Self Retriggerable operation - this is in addition to the repeat function listed above.

 Multiple units can be ganged (hooked up) to the same triggering device (step switch, IR switch, etc.).

It never loses it timer settings even when the power is unplugged.

It takes only a few seconds to program in time settings you want to use.

 You can have one device hooked up to the normally closed contacts and another hooked up to the normally open contacts of the relay making so one device will turn off and one will turn on when it is triggered. When trigger mode is over it will revert back to its initial state.

The relay contacts can be used to switch AC or DC devices.

The PET can be battery powered or you can use the optional wall transformer to power it off the AC line.

Cowlacious ISD® Chipcorder® Recorder/Player Board

Shown with optional ZIF socket and ISD Chip installed.

This device allows you to record/playback a message that is stored on one of the ISD® Chipcorder® 2500 series chips. The 2500 series chips can be obtained in 40sec., 60sec., 90sec., and 120sec. lengths.
The unit has a 5v voltage regulator on board so it can easily be powered by any supply from 8v to 24vDC. The output jack allows you to easily plug in a set of computer speakers to amplify the sound.
The unit is designed to be triggered by a PET, step switch or other device. It can also be set to continuously repeat the recorded message. Once triggered the unit will play the entire message before it can be triggered again.

This board can be used used to record and play sounds for your prop or use it as a master recording unit and use our player board  to play the sounds in your props. The player boards cost less so you save some money with each prop that you add sound to. We recommend buying the optional ZIF socket accessory if you plan to use it as a master recording unit.

Assembled unit with 60 Sec. ISD Chip (best sound quality 8KHz sample rate).  1-2 for $17.95

ZIF socket - Zero Insertion Force socket. This socket makes it easier to install and remove the ISD Audio chip. It isn't necessary, but it nice to use when you are first setting up your sounds. It plugs into the existing socket on the boards and can be removed when you have the sound the way you want it.  $7.50

Br-MiniBrick8

Two ServoMotor & Eight Digital Output
Stand-Alone Show Control System $210.00

 

The Br-MiniBrick8 is a complete stand-alone Show Control System. It features two ‘trigger’ inputs, DMX-512 input, two airplane-style servo motor control outputs and eight high current outputs for driving solenoids, lights and relays.

You can program the digital outputs without a computer. Press and hold the red ‘Record’ button until the first output flashes. Press again to step to the output you want to record. When you are ready to record, tap the green ‘Go’ button. Any previously recorded data will play back. While you press and hold the ‘Record’ button, anything you do on the blue ‘Data’ button is recorded on this one output while the other outputs continue to play back. The Br-MiniBrick8 will remember exactly what you do and precisely when you did it. You repeat this until you have all eight outputs programmed just the way you want them.

To program the Br-MiniBrick8 using a computer, you can draw the sequence you need on the screen of your computer using our included PC•MACs software. With the optional PC•MACs ‘RealTime’ license, you can program in RealTime using the PC’s mouse/keyboard. PC•MACs will remember exactly what you do and precisely when you did it. When you have all your shows completed, you can send them to the Br-MiniBrick8 through the serial port. The PC can then go away. The Br-MiniBrick8 will run by itself.

Features of the Br-MiniBrick8 include:

bulletAutomatic ‘program in place’ download through the standard serial port on your PC and the included PC•MACs software. It takes about twenty seconds to download a fifteen minute show.
bulletEach Br-MiniBrick8 has a single channel show capacity of over thirty-six minutes at thirty updates per second! Once programmed, shows are saved for approximately forty years, with or without power applied.
bulletTwo optoisolated inputs are used to trigger from push buttons, motion sensors, or any other type of switch.
bulletSupports up to 255 shows at a time (from serial). You can loop a single show or build ‘chains’ of shows
bulletEach of the four outputs is rated for a continuous load of 150 ma., or 500 ma. peak at 24 vdc. This is enough to drive small solenoid valves, relays, lights, and similar loads. The LEDs show all output activity.
bulletRuns on anything from nine to 24 vdc, including batteries. Mounts in 2.75” ‘Snap Track’ or on standoffs.

To add sound, use a Sd-10 or Sd-25 Audio Repeater. If you need less outputs, consider our Br-MiniBrick4. For more i/o, use the Br-MultiBrick32. For built in animation and lighting control, audio repeaters, and amplification, use our Sd-50 series of controllers.

Mp3 Add-on to be debuted at Ironstock

The APC16-plus was designed with expansion in mind. The first available accessory will be on display at Ironstock June 23rd - 25th Tell City, Indiana. The new MP3 module stacks on top of the APC16-plus expansion connector to make a compact plug and play sound solution. No Hacking is involved! Heck, There's no wiring or configuration needed, just plug it in and the APC16-plus will auto detect it.

 

Servo City  http://www.servocity.com/  $109.99

 

The Servo Recorder can be used as a simple servo driver or a complete servo motion recorder.  Once the motions are recorded, you can select between single or loop playback.

Control your servos up to 180° by rotating the control knobs.  Each knob is labeled as to which servo it operates.  Move a knob fast and the servo will move fast, move it slowly and the servo will move slowly. In record mode it even records the time. Move the servo every 18 seconds, and in playback mode the servo will move every 18 seconds since it even records delays between servo movements. It records and plays back the exact speed, time and range of motion for each servo even at the same time.


 

 

Pan & Tilt System  $45.99

 

Our new Direct Drive Pan & Tilt System is perfect for cameras or sensors up to 2 lbs.  One of the biggest problems with servos is they can not always handle heavy side loads even though they may have the power to rotate your attachment.  As you can see from the pictures, our system incorporates 1/4” shafts supported by dual ball bearings and rigid 1/4” ABS plastic which makes it the most rigid and precise direct drive pan and tilt available. Three 1/4” holes in the top plate make it extremely easy to mount any camera or sensor.  This plate can also be easily drilled to accept other attachments.  The Direct Drive Pan & Tilt System can use any standard size Hitec servo. For cameras up to 1 lb, the HS-645MG or the HS-475HB servos work very well.  For cameras up to 2 lbs, we suggest the HS-985MG or for the ultimate pan and tilt, the HSR-5995TG. If you are needing more than 90° of movement in either the pan or tilt, you can order servos from us pre-modified for this on the Hitec servo pages.  Unit comes unassembled with full instuctions. If you have any questions please call or email.
