Midwest Haunters Convention
2008
We are
excited and proud to sponsor the weekend seminar series at
the Midwest Haunter’s Convention being held in Columbus, Ohio,
June 13th thru 15th. If you haven’t already made plans to
attend, you still have time to register and experience all
of the excitement this year’s convention has to offer.
We also
invite everyone to stop by the booth on the vendor floor,
and be among the first haunters to see the new HauntBots’
pro series of audio and animatronic show controllers. This
line of products is designed to withstand the abuse of the
professional haunt, while still being priced to appeal to
everyone’s budget. The new APC8+, the Wav Runner and the DMX
Daemon are housed in rugged metal cases and feature easy mounting,
hook up, and programming. The pro series provides a modular
approach that enables you to purchase just the items required
to meet your animation, lighting and sound needs.
Additionally,
we have teamed up with Cliff Martin from ScaryGuys and the
Hacker House to present the seminar “Fun With Animations”.
Grab a seat at the seminar on Saturday afternoon to get a
more in depth look at creating and controlling your own animations.

MP3 Player
and Software Update
We are
finally getting around to adding the MP3 player to the website
after demoing it last month at MHC. The problem was that every
time we replenished our stock, somebody came along and took
them off our hands.
The player
comes in 2 flavors, standalone or stacked. The stacked configuration
works in conjunction with our APC16+ just plug it in and you
are ready to go. The standalone version has an on board 5
volt regulator and discrete inputs for wiring to your own
device as well as ttl level serial and two wire serial.
We have
also released the latest version of the Programming Console
software. Registered users who haven't received an email announcing
this free upgrade should contact us.

was designed with expansion in mind. The first available accessory

Indiana. The new MP3 module stacks on top of the APC16-plus
expansion connector to make a compact plug and play sound
solution. No Hacking is involved! Heck, There's no wiring

will auto detect it.

APC16-Plus Released
The APC16
was originally designed to be a stand alone control for multi-motion
animatronic props. Our users quickly discovered, however,
that this powerful yet affordable control could be dedicated
to even simple animated props. They harnessed the unused capacity
of the APC16 to enhance the rest of the scene.
With
the release of our updated controller, the
APC16-PLUS,
we offer more flexibility. In the process we simplified the
programming software even further.
Some
of the new enhancements include:
-
Multi-Show
Capability.
-
More
Configuration Options.
-
Pause,
Seek & Rewind capabilities during Real Time Programming.
-
Enhanced
Graphical Editor.
