I love them. They're great. For the last few years I've been buying mortar kits from Phantom Fireworks for the family annual 4rth of July Show. This year's show will be automated with switches but I'd like to get to running everything with a laptop. Does anyone here have expertise in this area?

A buddy of mine has been writting a VB program to do this.


Aglient has a nice little USB I/O device that would be great for this.

My dad and I make our own fireworks every summer but we've never used a laptop to set them off. Sounds intriguing.

I've brought fireworks over the border in the past, but never into the US. Border security would probably gut my car to pieces.

It sucks around here, all we can get are sparklers and smoke bombs. Tried going out of state on my way to VA from NJ and they wouldn't sell anything good to people from out of state. Anyone know of a way I could get decent fireworks in VA or NJ?

Phantom Fireworks has a shop in Easton PA. Check their website. PhatomFireworks.com

Every year for the past five years we have been going to SC to pick up some mortars and rockets, never had any problem being an out of state buyer ( other then the time a Tn state trooper was watching every car in the parking lot and we were the only Va car there).

Been there done that and thankfully I don't have any scares to prove it.

After my friend and I almost lit the woods on fire with a cake that tipped over last year I have been refraining. But I used to blow things up with firecrackers in the basement all the time.

. . .

Now I would really love to see the code for that! 6.0 or .net?

Yeah, but roman candles don't last that long.
