1. Show Start Button LED Inputs
! Eight Inputs to Kp-300
These inputs control the LEDs that are next to each of the eight
Show Start Buttons. They are controlled directly by the motion control
profile stored in the Smart Brick System. This allows the LEDs to be
programmed on, off or flashing as desired at any point in time. They
are programmed to indicate which shows are available to the operator,
or to indicate which show is already running. We typically program
them in a chase pattern, lighting only the valid show selections. Once
a show has started, we typically program all but the selected Show
Start Button LEDs off, and flash the selected show LED a few times
before turning it on through the rest of the show. If any other show se-
lection is valid while another show is running, we then flash it dis-
cretely throughout the show that is running.
Whenever a Show Start Button LED is programed to indicate that a
Show Start Buttons is valid, it is also necessary to actually enable the
corresponding Show Start Button Enable Input from the Smart Brick
System to make the Show Start Buttons active. If this is not done, then
the Show Start Buttons will remain inactive.
2. Show Start Button Enable Inputs
Eight Inputs to Kp-300
These inputs actually enable the Show Start Buttons on the front of
the Kp-300 for starting shows. This allows the motion profile to be pro-
grammed to allow or disable different shows being played.
The Kp-300 has been designed to support up to eight shows which
can be directly accessed. If more shows are needed, these Show Start
Buttons can be bypassed with a Kp-100 or Kp-200 to allow access to
the Smart Brick Systemʼs 255 show capacity.
Which shows are available to the user (which of these eight Show
Start Buttons are enabled), is controlled as a function of the motion
profile running on the Smart Brick System. Any or all of these Show
Start Buttons can be enabled at any time. The LEDs next to these
Show Start Buttons are also controlled as part of the motion profile.
This allows the LEDs to be programmed on, off or flashing as desired
at any point in time.
