Firstly sorry if this thread is in the wrong place.

I have a query about Launch Kontrol.

I am thinking about getting this but was wondering if it would work out the way i intend it to.

If i purchased the Launch Kontrol Pro version (i.e 1 Remote, 4 Recievers, 20 Ignitors) and a seperate Launch Kontrol (Standard version) With 2 Recievers would they interfere with each other.

As in would the Standard version remote set off the Pro version recievers and vice versa.

What im wanting to do is to use the standard unit to link up my pairs of fireworks (hence 2 recievers linked into it) and the pro version to set off a sequence of individual fireworks as and when required

there will be no interference from either remote control .....once set up they use unique codes between receiver and transmitter , whats more you can "mate" any number of receivers to work with either of the transmitters so in theory you can fire 100 fireworks with 1 button push sould the need ever arise, and any reciever will work wirh any remote so you dont have to keep all the kits in sperate boxes

Screwball wish you hadnt mentioned that, unlimited fireworks from 1 button, if only id known about the launch kontrol thing this year, will definately be using it or something similar next year though!

Ah right. So i could possibly get away with just the pro unit and set up more than 1 reciever on say channel A for my pairing of fireworks and use the other 3 channels for setting off seperate fireworks in a sequence
I thought the most you could have linked up was 4 recievers to each transmitter.

Cheers for that Screwball

Not sure i'll ever have the need to fire 100 fireworks at once but NYE could be a lot more interesting now

yup you should be ok with the pro unit and several receivers , the transmitter fires a beam to the receivers so as long as all the receivers are in the beams range and angle of view and all were "mated" to the same button at the same them then any number of receivers should work you cvan have 1 receiver on button A , 2 on button B and C and 1 more on D or indeed any combination really

a guy on UKFR fired his whole display with them used something like 16 receivers i seem to recall , i was going to do the same myself untill i got the professionals involved with shells

So would be me - video of the display is here - a few blanks - one of two fireworks failed to ignite - but nothing wrong with the LK system. http://www.vimeo.com/2256995. All fired with Launch Kontrol (3 Tx / 11 receivers).

Excellent display very impressed. What was being fired around 12mins 40secs?

[wjames]

Pm sent.


Very impressed with that one, clearly a well thought out display.

What were the rockets that were fired right at the end of the display ?

Thanks for sharing that with us.

Correct - there was one sky thriller in amongst that lot - the colour is much whiter.

Cracking display, well done Nick

Hercules * 3

Say 12mins 45secs the ones with alot of colour being fired straight up with no fan effect? Cant remember seeing it in Hercules!

Also did you post a list of everything you fired in the display?
