Orangefox2201 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I want to program my smoke machine (hurricane 700) to a movie. Any suggestions on software/hardware or how to do it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave m Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 A quick google shows no DMX or even remotes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImagineerTom Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 it uses a proprietary remote that's hard-wired if I remember correctly. To the OP - the simple answer is you can't. You need to do some reasonably skilled electronics work just to make your smoke machine controllable by "an other" system, then you need to purchase your control system & all the interfaces needed to make it syncronise with the movie and control the smoke machine. You'll spend hundreds very quickly. Also the machine isn't a continuous operation machine which means sometimes when you want it to produce smoke it won't because it's re-heating. This project just won't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themadhippy Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 write down the exact point were you want the smoke to fire then pay me £150 per screening (plus expenses) to read your cue sheet and press the smoke button at the correct point in the movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jivemaster Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 First buy a smoker that will allow 100% duty cycle. Then chose one with a DMX (or other) control system that can be triggered by cue track or time code or.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
