Introduction
This chapter describes the implementation of a microcontroller based remote firing module to detonate fireworks. The system uses software running on a personal computer (PC) to control this remote module.
Traditional systems use very long runs of cable, up to several hundred meters, for each firework shell which is connected. This significantly increases the setup time and cost. If shorter wires are used, it will lead to placing technicians too close to the firework shells when they are fired. Such trade-offs between safety and setup cost/time should not be needed.
