Sorry the video is quite blurry in places as the phone had trouble focussing but you get the idea. Turned the sound off also.

They have a wired remote, wireless remote and are controllable via DMX so I see no reason why you can't control them using Xlights. I need to wire up a cable to convert the 3 pin XLR to RJ45 so I can control it from one of my boards with DMX out (the LOR, J1-sys and falcon boards). Shouldn't be any different to controlling a moving head LED via DMX as Gil did with Xlights. But I have yet to try it out that way. But once I get a cable made..... .
[font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]They are a little noisey when they shoot the fog and the fog doesn't smell overly nice (like a sweaty gym) but you can buy small fragrance bottles to add to the mix with the choice of aromas such as vanilla, mint, strawberries, coconut, tropical and.... energy drink!?[/font][SIZE=78%] [/SIZE]

oooo, tropical coconut, noice

Making XLR to RJ45 is easy peasy logan I have a few here Ive made.

Here is my super rough drawing that I made a few years ago... ignore all the writing.

Ok just a little confused. My male XLR are numbered like the female ones in this drawing. Is this looking from the back (solder side) or the front of the connector?

 

[logandc99]

Ok, all sorted in chat

That's great Logan, with the red light it really looks like fire! Don't put it too close to Olaf, lol.
Moving head looks pretty cool too.
I'm working with a few DMX stage/club type lights myself atm, I'm interested to know how others are setting these up in xlights but I don't want to hijack your post, I'll start another thread shortly, keen to get your thoughts.
