so I'm new to cobra. But I was wondering since slats are a fraction of the price of a module, could you wire a couple slats and plug and fire slats one at a time? yes you can wire all the slats in series or parallel, but that would fire everything on one channel. i want to buy one module and a couple slats. fire everything on the module then plug in a slat and fire it, then plug in a different slat and fire that one. or have i thought of something everyone does already?

I'm kind of disappointed that no one has replied to this question.
I have often pondered the same thing.
My concern is about the safety during the switch over.

Answer- ignite firing system
Cheaper for little backyard shows when you can’t afford the pro gear
Don’t mess with a show when in motion, for safety sake

Your brutal, blunt honesty is the kind of answer I thought I would hear, but I wanted to hear it in case there was a save method of making the switch. Basically, being safe is never the cheap way. |

I would like to put a different perspective on it, being safe IS the cheap way. Fireworks are high energy, when things go wrong they can cause property damage, injury and even death and they do all of these, somewhere in the world on a continuous basis. Being responsible for one of these events will be life changing and not for the good. When it happens you will wish with all your being that you had done things differently. SHOP Fireworks FX.com |

Sorry London, not trying to be mean, I’m sure there’s a whole world out there of “making it work with what we have” however the attitude does change “in me” when I’m paying the insurance premium every year
I have ignite systems and talons for sale if people need them for all your shooting needs lol

No need to apologize Aussie. I did not at all think you were being mean to any one.
You always say it as it is, and I appreciate that.
I also like Fred's reversal of the wording. Good perspective.

I'm kind of disappointed that no one has replied to this question. I have often pondered the same thing. My concern is about the safety during the switch over. There's no real safety reason not to do this, especially if you buy a few extra cables so you don't have to go near the actual fireworks mid show. You can be 25 or 50 feet away. If you have to walk into the middle of the firing ramp to swap cables around, there's an increased risk, but no more than if you were hand lighting. Wait for the current product to finish, plan your placement/route to minimize you passing through any firing trajectories for the effects, and make the swap. Obviously doing it mid product to avoid black sky is higher risk, and then it's more of a safety concern. Ideally though, you make the swap outside the hot zone. This is exactly how the old, manual, boards used to do it. Lots even used the old db25 printer port switches to change between banks. Pretty sure that's where the term "banks" originated from. |
