How many generators can be run on one laptop which is also running Spooky2 Central?

1. The limit is over 200 generators if memory serves. The Spooky2 software is an easy load for a PC or MAC. The generators do the heavy lifting.

2. In theory, the software can run tens of generator. So the amount of generator linking to the PC depends on the configuration of the PC. You can try to buy 2-3 more to see whether your PC can handle this.

3. We've had 16 generators plus Spooky2 Central connected to one laptop. The issue here is

(a) You need at least one powered USB hub to hook them all up (we daisy-chained several).

(b) You need to isolate the power source of your Spooky2 Central and its corresponding generator so that the power cord is not plugged into the same outlet as the other generators.

The latter instruction helps to avoid your software freezing.

4. I have 11 XM plus one GX, plasma and Scalar. Plasma is connected directly to a computer USB and power runs on a separate circuit. GX is connected to a USB port, separately from the XMs. So I have 2 USB ports. Highly recommend getting the one Spooky2 offers. It is reasonable and very stable. Much better than the smaller one that I got online.
