YesI don't think so. I want complete control of when cues are fired. Will a sequencer fire the cues in a fixed succession? With a fixed time interval between each fire?
Maybe you could get an off the shelf unit and then add the micro.

That should give quite a pyrotechnic display in itself, as you would be shorting the battery as soon as the FETs turned onSource and Drain of mosfets would be connected to 12v car battery.

Sorry, didn't read what I wrote before I sent it. In the original concept each push button would be replaced by a MOSFET. Source would be common ground, drain would be +12v and gate would be from uC output pin. Is this feasible?
Also, would it be feasible to have a 10x10 grid with each row controlled by a MOSFET and each column controlled by a MOSFET?
Basically that would work. The problem I see is displaying which circuit is "armed".
I apologize, I was hoping that posting a circuit diagram would attract more help, but that it would get overlooked if put in the same thread.[MODNOTE]Please do not start a new Thread for the same Topic[/MODNOTE]
Thank you. Do I do this using the Post Reply button?John:
You can always reference the post number or right click the schematic or the post # and get the link location and you can post that. There are ways to make the link appear as "New schematic" in blue e.g. **broken link removed**
The way to do this is:[url = https://www.electro-tech-online.com/attachments/]New schematic[/url]
The differences of a regular URL are shown in bold. The = sign is supposed to be bold.
Are they any components you can recommend? My understanding is that induced voltages would be from something such as a coil or motor and a diode is used to prevent the 'back spike' (I don't know the proper term). Should I add these just to have that extra safety measure? How do I make sure static build-up is not an issue? Is having it properly grounded to most effective method?you will need to consider what safety features to add to prevent spurious triggering, e.g. by static build-up or induced voltages.
Yes and what happens to the matrix if an igniter or two shorts out after firing?There is a sneak path that might be a problem. The current is lower..... but.....
