Knobs Position

Prop Wizard base game for two analog knobs with target ranges, reset ranges, and optional meter feedback.

The manual describes this family as: Two analog knobs solve when both are in target ranges and auto-reset in reset ranges.

This page covers the Prop Wizard base-game template rather than one fixed setup preset. The exact generated configuration changes with wizard choices such as stage count, output policy, reset mode, feedback modules, and integrations.

Video reference: The Prop Wizard on YouTube.

UI path

  1. Open Prop Wizard.
  2. Choose Knobs Position.
  3. Confirm analog count and whether pixel meter feedback should be enabled.
  4. Choose output and reset behavior.
  5. Apply the wizard and inspect Definitions > Level Inputs plus Behavior > Logic Rules.

Generated hardware pattern

Generated itemDefaultPurpose
Analog knobs2 by defaultGenerated as analog inputs.
Knob pixel feedbackOptional per-knob moduleShows whether each knob is in position.
OutputSelected in wizardTriggered from solved state.

Generated states

  • off when not always armed
  • armed
  • optional stage states
  • solved

Logic and behavior pieces

PieceGenerated behaviorWhy it matters
Analog rangesUp range is 0-500; Down range is 3000-4095.The generated ranges give solve and reset targets.
Knob SolveLogic Rule requiring every knob to be in Up.Sets solved or advances stage.
Knob ResetLogic Rule requiring every knob to be in Down.Returns to armed.
Per-knob feedback rulesKnob 1 In Position, Knob 1 Out Of Position, etc.Turn feedback pixels on or off when meter/feedback options are enabled.

What the wizard choices change

Wizard choiceWhat changes in the generated config
Stage countAdds stage states and stage-advance action triggers.
Output typeChanges what happens when solved is entered: relay pulse, mag-lock hold/release, actuator movement, or pixel-only output.
Reset modeChooses immediate reset, manual reset input, manual network/operator reset, or timer reset.
Always armedStarts directly in armed; otherwise adds an off state.
Feedback modeAdds input acknowledgements, success feedback, fail feedback, or richer per-input feedback.
Integration protocolAdds MQTT, OSC, or HTTP bindings when selected.

Review after applying

  • Open Configuration > Connections > Inputs, Outputs, and Modules and confirm generated hardware names and pins.
  • Open Configuration > Definitions and review any generated states, level inputs, RFID tag sets, or variables.
  • Open Configuration > Behavior > Logic Rules and confirm the generated condition checks.
  • Open Configuration > Behavior > Action Triggers and confirm the output, reset, feedback, and state-change steps.
  • Open Configuration > Lighting if pixel feedback was enabled.

Design notes

  • Use this for dial-tuning, valve alignment, radio frequency, pressure, or matching-meter puzzles.
  • The first review step after applying is editing Level Input ranges to match real ADC readings.
  • This is more sensitive to calibration than button games, so test from live values before finalizing labels.
