SkullTroniX (tm) Support

SkullTroniX · Posted: Sun Jun 03, 2007 8:44 pm Post subject: Multiple SkullTroniX on one PC

There are several ways to run multiple SkullTroniX off of one PC. Here's a quick breakdown

1. Plug each one into a separate USB port and make sure you select the proper port in VSA for each.
You will have one sound file that supports multiple skulls.

2. Use just one USB port for two SkullTroniX by running a serial cable from one skull to another. The serial cable plugs into the Parallax board serial port. It is a 3 wire cable with servo connectors on both ends. We can provide them if needed. We've run up to 25' this way. If you leave the parallax board address jumper alone the two SkullTroniX units will behave the same. If you change the jumper on one of them they will respond to different port addresses. One will respond to ports 0-15 and the other 16 to 31. Note: the eye lights are hard wired to port 16 regardless of where the jumper is. This method IS NOT the preferred method.

3. Use the Excorcist and run multiple SkullTroniX and/or other VSA powered animatronics or lighting systems with multiple triggering devices. See the Exorcist forum for details. You can also support multiple sound files from separated speaker systems with Exorcist.

The Multiple Skull video link points to the Ghost Host demo Vid..Just FYI!! I'd really like to see the group skull video.

If you load the 3 skull demo give it a few seconds of play before stopping it.

Ok, I clicked on the 3 skull video link, and it played the Ghost host video again to the end. The Title under the vid says multiple skull vid, but The Ghost host video came up instead. Then it stopped. Then I waited, (I didn't touch anything). It stay stopped, So I pressed play again. Got the same Ghost host vid. Are you sure the link is pointing to the right video?

I tried clearing browser cache, and cookies. I refreshed. I still get the same Ghost host video. I let it play all the way to the end. The URL is: http://skulltronix.com/3SkullRules.html?ll and the title under the vid says "Multiple Skull Routine", but nothing helps. It still plays the ghost host Video. Weird. The link you posted does the same thing. I really wish I could see it.

ah..... your using internet explorer correct, Ive just tested the page with IE and there is indeed a problem

It works fine with firefox, and Jerry is probably usng an apple so not noticed theres a problem yet, Im sure it will be fixed soon

In the mean time think of this as an opportunity to discover a better web browser Smile
