thinking today about a dispaly that depicts gifts on a conveyor going into Santa's sack. would use 2 seperate 2 channel switch (Winfield Collections @ $30 per). 4 boxes in total, every other lite at one time, small 'wheels' will show the belt 'moving' set up one one of the controllers. Just a cheap way out.

Dan,

Great idea, but you would have $120 in those 4 contollers. You can get an 8 channel LOR controller for $99 and then expand with more 8 or 16 channel LOR boxes in the future, or a 16 channell assembled PC card for $121.95. You would need to spend another $99 for the starter kit which includes the sofware.

So, for only an additional $80 to $100 you can do the same, plus more and have future expansion. Just my thoughts.
