ABSTRACT:
A simplified system using a computer to control the operation (e.g., speed) of multiple controllable devices (e.g., electric motors) so that a script for a sequence of operations of the controllable devices can be prepared and edited, using ASCII characters, on the computer monitor. This script is stored on the computer disc drive and can be played back through the computer's printer port to control the controllable devices to perform the sequence of operations. Each letter of the alphabet identifies a different control parameter of a controllable device, and each line of the script contains one letter for each device being controlled. On playback, the first line is scanned and the written control parameters are set and activated. After about 1/20 of a second the next line is similarly scanned and the control parameters are again adjusted to the current script requirements. Playback then proceeds in the same manner, line by line, through the script. A long script can control up to eighty-five (or more) motors or devices for some hours. The system can be used to control numerous other devices including but not limited to lights, fountains, audio oscillators, massaging machines, simulators, muscle stimulation machines, computer numerical control systems, motorized actuation systems for puppet animation, and machines for playing musical instruments.
