I have done much more than this with a gadget I now and then mention. Bonig und Kallenbach "Service USB Plus.
Fun and simple. A few hundred dollars for the hardware, a few hours of joy for the software. I can kibitz if you want, but this is easy fun stuff. -----Original Message----- From: Dr. Hawkins <doch...@gmail.com> To: How to use LiveCode <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> Sent: Sun, Aug 17, 2014 5:06 pm Subject: Church bell app? I just about choked over the price: my church is gearing up to pay $6,500 for a church bell system (and that's because we *already* have the speakers from the old system). I'm scratching my head to figure out why this isn't a matter of a near trivial app on a dedicated ipod and an amplifier. THe hardest part would be turning an amplifier on . . . Does anyone know of such a thing, or an open source project for one? All it really needs to do is send a signal to turn on an amplifier and play sound on schedule, be able to choose the sounds to play on the schedules, and be able to play tunes on command (Eastern Catholic & Orthodox play the bells during the Anaphora [Consecration]). Does anyone know about the existence of such a thing, or how much one would cost to commission? -- Dr. Richard E. Hawkins, Esq.
