Conductor Trigger features.

are the triggers necessary? can you run the conductor without the triggers? what is the purpose of the slave unit? thanks in advance

The Trigger unit adds more interaction capability, but it is not needed at all for the Conductor to start up and run preprogrammed sequences.

The slave unit can  be added to a second Etherdongle to allow multiple units to work together.

For us non tech. people.

Would a example would be light beam that is broken to trigger a show.
Or a motion sensor on the front yard that would be triggered.

Thanks

A simple switch closure.  Anything that can connect two wires together.  In other words, an on/off switch is all you need, or something fancier that does the same thing.

So I try hard to stay focused on Christmas and not get caught up with a Halloween show and here is this new shiny fandangled trigger that just screams (pun intended) Halloween!     Ok, I swear I am only gonna do something small that will help me learn the conductor for this big show...  Now to research a motion detector switch...

So, how is the trigger connected to the conductor?

Run 5 wires from the bottom of the PCB labeled Conductor Trigger Inputs 1, 2, 3, 4, and GND to the five pads on the Conductor marked trig #1,#2,#3,#4 and the GND.

the trigger pcb has 15 contacts, and Ground.  you run two wires to your "trigger" switch, or button. the trigger # + ground for each trigger you want.   so, if you want a motion sensor somewhere, and you want it on #6, you run a wires from #6 and ground to that switch.   if you want a set of buttons somewhere (say 10)  you run the wires from the #'s you want to use, and ground to that location. that's it for the hardware.

then on the conductor, you'll have your shows set up. like 1.sho, or 2.sho for whatever trigger events.

Examples that could be helpful,
the trigger sequence can be just an mp3 file like a scream , of other effect (for halloween)
of the trigger can be a full song animated (so you can make a jukebox of the songs in your show for christmas that people can push)
