Igniting a Programmed Fireworks Display?

Posted by Cliff on from the explosions-from-your-keyboard dept.

seg9585 asks: "I am interested in setting up a programmable fireworks display this New Years, and I was wondering if anyone from the Slashdot community had any advice as to how to set one up easily, inexpensively, and safely by someone with little experience with electronics/wiring. I do have a VEX controller which I can use for digital output, but I would rather not have to buy a ton of relays and create a spark by just shorting out the circuit. Is there a better way to do this?"

    Ah! But what if we were designed to stupidly annihilate or injure ourselves?
