Using VSA to switch 115 voltsRight now, i'm using a DMX relay pack to turn my non-dmx strobe lights on/off with VSA. Is there an easier (read: cheaper) way to do this other than with DMX? I have seen Parallax has a board you can fit with solid state relays to do this, but that seems way more advanced than I can handle. |

I have used this board without a hitch. And very cost effective too. |

Would that controller work with VSA? It looks like it runs off a parallel port. I'm looking to use this in my skulltronix seance routine, and need it to run off a USB port. |

The Kit 74 does indeed run off of a parallel port.
Your skull has a number of spare servo ports, you could use one of these for a PWM relay and trigger the Strobe that way. http://www.lynxmotion.com/Category.aspx?CategoryID=106 http://www.hobby-lobby.com/unusual.htm I don't know if all these relays can switch 115V but the Battleswitch certainly can |
