Constant Prop Activation with the Vixen Add-Ins

The Vixen add-ins for the Prop-1 and Prop-2 controllers create a program that expects a trigger event.  What if you have a prop that just wants to run constantly?  No problem. 

In the Sequence add-in menu in Vixen select Active-High triggering and then move the SETUP jumper on the trigger pin (P6 on the Prop-1; P14 on the Prop-2) to UP -- this will fool the controller into thinking it has a valid trigger input.

Yeah, I found this out the hard way! Playing around my test kept resetting, until I noticed the jumper was in the up position. Doh!  :-[

Scaring someone with a prop you built -- priceless!
