Apologies if this is not the right thread for this ...
Years ago i went to a really boring Fireworks thing, where there were tons of fireworks, and the 'Organiser' started setting them off one by one.
Hugely boring.
I took over, and got a blowtorch to set them off in batches.
Not interesting as such, but got the whole sad thing over with quicker.
Do systems exist to sequence the ignition of fireworks ?
If so, are they seriously expensive ?
Just sounds like an Arduino kinda project.

of course they exist, but i guess they are expensive...
you better ask stuff like this on some electric board, im pretty sure they can give you tips how to make some for less money

I was thinking more of making one if it were useful a few SM members, and posting the plans.
Personally i don't do any Em anymore.

There defiantly is, I think that it is a large flat box with lead connectors with numbered buttons and a decent power supply attached with wiring and
relays inside,setting off electric matches clamped to the fuses. I vaguely remember seeing one as a kid. Nowadays they are probably a lot more complex
and mostly automated using timers. All you would need to do is throw the switch and watch the show. Im sure there are plans floating around on the old
E&W forum somewhere otherwise they shouldn't be too hard to find.

Well-
These can both be programmed to sequence. I've also got dedicated sequencers that trigger from an output of other non sequencing systems, that can
give the capability to any analogue systems you care to use.

Cheers for the Photos Bert.

No problem- I was at work, they were sitting on the table in front of me... Something to do while waiting for dark.
