Entry #013

I build for a local school haunted house each year, and this year, X10 is the star of the show. I have serveral motion activated features :

1) Walk in front of a screeaming firetruck, lights and sirens blaring
2) Approach a casket and the ghoul inside starts knocking and screaming
3) Walk down the narrow hall that blows a tornadic (leaf blower) wind in your face
4) Walk through a spider's den and the spiders (shipping peanuts) kick up in your hair

All of these features their own ActiveEye motion detector. Some are shrouded in a toilet paper tube to narrow detection to a trip beam. I wrote a program using the PowerLinkII that detects any and all light on events, and then sends a corresponding off event 5 seconds later, thus allowing me to reset all the props using a single controller hooked to a laptop. The wireless nature of the motion sensors makes it a snap to set up and tweak - there simply is no substitute for motion controlling 120V props other than X10 and PowerLink. Thanks for the awesome products!
