for the igniters i have used in the past i have used small lightbulbs as they require far less current to glow red hot, i was wondering if anyone knows what voltage/current estes rocket igniters require?

yeah nick, i get your point and that was why i was unsure whether to write about it. i will try to concentrate more on sequencers but i still feel some legit pyro's may want to try remote ignision and also people may prefer to use it if they want to do some SFX and dont want wires trailing.

stuart, zipping files such as pictures videos and music doesnt really do much and might as you say even make the files bigger. I'm pretty busy with "real" work at the moment but i will add the tut to my list of projects lol. i might just quickly put some circuit designs in a zip in the mean time, i have made timers smaller than match boxes that gan give u delays from a few seconds upto a couple of minutes and they are cheap enough to blow up.

Pyromaster have u made any remote fired pyro before? i might right a tutorial on it as its something i know a bit about (not sure quite how usefull, but still) i might also include electronic timers and sequencers. any one be interested in reading sumthing about this area?

ooh are they the ones that did Over the hills and far away? an israely guy got me to listen to that, lol. not bad
