Don't blow your fingers off with this PIC idea

[mister_e]

The core of it have to work with some midi sequence and a PC to MIDI adapter. Some of them are directly plugged in the PC Joystick connector. I still have some here. With a google search i found this one

Use a PC software capable to generate midi sequence or note like Vegas, Cubase Audio or many other. In there, set your MIDI notes with your favourite audio track

Interface: The PIC grab the MIDI note, for x note it activate x igniter... and you're in business.

Sounds easy hey!

you just have to do a search for the MIDI protocol. There's a ton of example using a PIC. Probably you'll also find some PicBasic code. I remind some thread here so far.

Now your unit may fit in a small box... route few meters of wire for your safety and keep a FireTruck close

Personnaly, without knowing the current requirement of an igniter, i think that some nifty 5V reed-relay would do the job. Some of them need less 25mA and have internal back emf diode, so can be directly connected to the PIC.

Just throwing the idea out to see what you guys think, but if someone starts to sell it I want a percentage!!! :-)

it's still a public forum, anything posted in here could be done with or without your agreement by xyz person...
