I've been tasked with build a gizmo for our group. Lights, sound and action are usually winners.
The base hardware is a PIC18 K42 RS-232 port controller I designed for general use connected to an old Digital232 I/O interface for the real world interface.

The software interface will have a remote 'detonator' switch to start and pressure sensitive push button to change the action sequences.

For the sound I'm using three sound effect Mallory Sonalerts.

The lights are super-bright led lamps for programming a few 'chase' sequence but I need to careful of strobe effects.
Still need to dig up a old enclosure for the power supplies, output drivers and hardware but I've got a bottomless pit of old junk to chose from.
Nothing fancy yet on the software, just the basic interface stuff is done.
