    Hey Guys,

    Thanks for helping me with the movement sensors in my earlier post. I now have another challenge for the group.

    We have set up the gallery with 40 Displays, every 4 displays have 4 LVs on 1 GA (Display 1, Display 2, Display 3, etc) and I have a B&W touch screen installed.

    What we would like to do is hit a button on the C-Touch and get the display to chase each GA around the room, you know like the old disco days.:cool:

    Can someone please offer a suggestion of how I can get each GA to pulse for maybe 1 second in sequence. I tried a couple of different combinations with schedules but was not sucessful.

    Once again your assistance would be greatly appreciated....

    I think your going to need some logic or some sort, PAC or Minder or something like that.

    What other devices do you have as part of the installation? eg is there a PC that could have some software running on it?

    Cheers

    Hey Peter,

    If I had a credit card, I could probably afford training :eek:

    Rohan,

    The customer only has the B&W C-Touch & a DLT.

    Regards

    Hmm, all I can think of then is a PAC.

    Perhaps someone else can think of another option that costs less than a PAC?

    Cheers

    You could use cascading scenes?

    One button would trigger a scene, which did its thing and then triggered the next scene, which did its thing and then triggered the next scene...and so on...

    I don't think PICED will let you create a loop of scenes, where the last one triggers the first one, which I think is why I used a PAC when I did it.

    You could probably use some jiggery-pokery to get it to work for your application though.

    Cheers
