[Austin:)]

Doesa anyone know where to buy one?
Also, I am wondering if they have to be wired to the prop
or can just simply be plugged in. And another thing, I making an
exorsict prop where her head flips around and she screams. The pressure
pad would be for her, but would i need to buy two of them for her and the mp3 player, or can i hook the pressure pad up to both of them?
I really, really need to take some halloween tech lessons or something...
haha.

i know monster guts has them - im sure you can use the one switch pad to controll both the player and the head twist - i think they only put out 12 VDC so whatever is powering the head will have to be able to use that - might be some tricky wiring hooking up an MP3 player - could you use a CD player on loop? - riley

If you can find brand names, I'll do a group buy.

yea i could use a cd player
and a fan motor is powerin the head.

 

[1031fan]

arent fan motors usually 110VAC though?

 

[Austin:)]

is that the power............?

 

[1031fan]

Austin, please keep in mind that mat switches are never to be used with 110VAC. The highest rating I've seen is 24 VDC. You will need to use a low voltage relay with the mat to switch 110 volt power. I don't know what voltage the cheap "screamer" mats can handle, but they run on a couple of AA batteries (3VDC).
