The Art Controller can have its cycle triggered by an external button or switch, or by an external input signal. | The Art Controller can have its cycle triggered by an external button or switch, or by an external input signal. | ||

When the button is pressed or the switch is thrown, it connects the two pins of the trigger input together, triggering the Art Controller. |
Instead of hooking up a button, you can hook up any external logic-level signal to the trigger input, for example from a light sensor or motion sensor. The Art Controller will perceive a low-going signal the same as it would a button press. The absolute maximum voltage input level is 5.5 V. If necessary, you can use a resistive voltage divider to reduce a higher level signal to fit within the input range. | Instead of hooking up a button, you can hook up any external logic-level signal to the trigger input, for example from a light sensor or motion sensor.
