Bruce,
Here is a link to light sequencing and DMX decoding using an Arduino:

I personally do not know much about theater lighting but thought this might
be of interest. If you are located in the US, the Arduino
It seems that the budget for the play is a lot greater than I am used
to for HS Plays..
Holland, MI is a nice city and apparently doing very well! (I'm in
Northern Indiana)
I'd probably use one of these controllers if I had to buy one new.
They don't get much cheaper than this but it is
I would disagree with getting a Plc versus getting a pic micro controller . I
use picaxe chips which come preloaded with a boot loader and there is a free
programmer available. Picaxe chips come in various sizes. The one I use the
most is the 18m2 which are as cheap as 4.95 each.
Greetings
I'm told I need a pic controller for this and the engineer where I work
says he'll put it all together and program it, but I need to find it and buy
it first.
Any help I can get on this will be greatly appreciated.
I suspect there is a misunderstanding as what you say sounds high

Don't over think this.. Personally I think a PIC is WAY over thinking
this..a cheap PLC with relay outputs would be easier to work with
and more cost effective for a one off like this..(if it is even
required) Automation Direct has relay output

Ted,
That was some awesome information.
The engineer I'm working with says it doesn't matter to him what I find to
control the lights and other bits, I just have to do the leg work and find it.
I'm liking the DMX compatible device you mention, and could use some guidance
on what to purchase.
I need help
First let me say i know zero about controllers.
I am building the chandelier for the high schools performance of Phantom of the
Opera.
I need to remotely control the lights, two actuators and some spark emitters.
The chandelier will sit on the stage all crumpled up as the play
When you say remote.. do you mean via wireless ??
If you can run some wire which is obviously needed for the power
anyway.. then this can be very simple via some switches and a multi-
conductor cable. I'd run the wire down along with the winch line.
