Tópico: this is weird!!

Este tópico es antiguo y puede contener información incorrecta para la nueva versión.

I have to research this a little more, but I bought a laser light and of course you have to use a fog machine to get the full effects of a laser show. Well when I was playing this past weekend, as soon as i would press the button to activate the fog, vdj would stop working. The music stopped and i could not get it to play again. I had to shut down VDJ and re-launch it. I didn't do it every time but it did it 3 times only to get boos from the crowd. Luckly it was a family party and they let me live. Not sure if it interfered with my RMX or the laptop. I was thinking interference but my wireless internet card is shut off. All the power cords were plugged into the same power strip. I also moved the activating fog switch 10 feet away from the RMX, but that didn't work either. I stopped using the fog machine after that. Granted this fog machine is a cheapo from a Halloween store, but it was just weird. Had this happened to anyone else?

I'm using
Acer,2.ghz dual processor
2gb memory, 120gig hd
VDJ 5.2 pro
Hercules RMX

well if your using a fogger from a halloween store then its probably haunted or cursed or some crap. bin it and buy a real one..says the wise old monkey
 
I used to have similar issues with my old fogger and strobe, the trigger for the fogger may be sending a spike I connected a mains suppression capacitor across the switch to solve that issue.
With the strobe every time I switched it on it rebooted the computer, it was either a spike or mains drop.
Solution use a good quality UPS with mains filtering/suppression, maybe get away with only filtering suppression only when using laptops.
 
I'm running a fogger too connected to the same circuit as the main system and no problems. Which fogger are you using? I have the ADJ Dyno-Fog II
