As the Halloween season rapidly approaches we have removed all the buy it now buttons from our product pages. Products are available but we did not want to get into a situation where we couldn't deliver orders in time. Please contact us directly and we will evaluate each order on a case by case basis.

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.

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.
