Gilderfluke&Co 'Smart' Brick Animation Control System - Manual (Page 153)

during a show, a momentary button can be wired in series with a
digital output from a Smart Brick and then into the inputs of the
MiniBrain. This allows you to do things like disable
starts/stops/resets while a show is playing by just not program-
ming that bit during the show.
The power applied to the MiniBrain can be any voltage be-
tween 9 and 24 VDC. The MiniBrain is polarity protected, so you
connect either supply lead to either screw terminal.
All configuration for the MiniBrain is done on an eight position
dipswitch. These are used as follows:
Switch #1: Brick Memory Size:
Switch #2: Brick Memory Size:
Switch #3: Brick Memory Size:
These three switches determine the size of the memo-
ry that the MiniBrain thinks the Smart Bricks have installed.
The MiniBrain will always reset to the first frame each time
the end of memory is reached. Unless the ‘Run
Continuous’ switch is ON, the MiniBrain will also stop run-
ning when the end of memory is reached. If you don’t
need to use all of the memory installed on the Smart
Bricks you can lie about the size of the memory installed.
Setting these switches to a lower value will have NO ad-
verse effect on the Smart Bricks. The size of the memory
and the length of the shows at the supported frame
rates are as follows. All times are rounded to the nearest
whole second:
