description
The PicoBoo PLUS is just like the PicoBoo - simple, effective, and easy to use. Using the latest technology available, we've figured out how to include four 10 amp relays on the PicoBoo PLUS!
Relay Outputs
The PicoBoo PLUS has four 10 amp relay outputs brought out to two pluggable terminal blocks. Each outputs has both a normally-open and normally-closed contact so you can control just about anything.
Up to 2 minutes of animation at 30 frames per second can be recorded.
Animation During Ambient Mode
The PicoBoo PLUS is also a step above our regular controllers in that you can also create sound AND animations during the ambient mode - in other models, you can only program sound in this mode. This means you can program some creepy movements to unsettle your guests before you hit them with the real show!
Real-Time Programming
Just like the other PicoBoo controllers, programming the device is easy using the on-board buttons. You can program all of the controller's outputs at the same time or layer them one by one to create complex and dynamic arrangements. No weird button sequences to punch in or manuals to fumble with, just use one button for each outlet by pressing record and programming your animation.
Supports Audio
The PicoBoo PLUS also uses a built-in flash memory sound chip so you can not only playback sounds, but you can record up to two minutes of your own. Just plug in any audio device right into the audio-in port and record the sound directly. It's simple and requires no software or file format conversion. You can also record up to 8 sounds which the device will automatically cycle through.
Amplified Sound
The PicoBoo PLUS comes with a 30 watt internal Class D amplifier so you can use standard speakers which are smaller and easier to hide in your props and around your scene.
The amplifier's full output power can only be realized with a 4 ohm speaker and a power supply of at least 3 amps. The standard 1 amp power supply is definitely loud, but as the volume increases to a certain point, you may notice some distortion.
Trigger Input for Activating Props
The PicoBoo PLUS supports triggers such as infrared motion sensors, beam sensors, pressure sensor mats, and hand triggers through the use of a trigger input. You can also set up the controller to loop a program by using a small wire to connect the - and IN trigger pins.
Our selection of triggers can be seen here.
Write-Protection
Like our other Halloween prop controllers, the PicoBoo PLUS has a safeguard mechanism to prevent you from accidentally erasing or modifying your carefully crafted program.

First Time Using PicoBoo for Halloween Prop
The PicoBoo Plus controller did everything I needed it to and could do more. I had previously created a pneumatic driven Halloween prop and Used a PLC controller that I had to program. While the previous controller worked great is was kind of a pain to program and reprogram. The PicoBoo Plus completely changed my experience. With the push-button control, while recording the animation, I saved so much time rather than going back and trying to figure out ladder logic programming. The PicoBoo Plus also gave me the ability to easily integrate sound into my prop. I love the ability to have the ambient sound before the trigger is activated and then the animation sound after the trigger is activated. When I purchased the PicoBoo Plus, I knew the 4 outputs would probably be more than what I needed, but I wanted the ability to expand later. One output turned on two LED lights to brighten up the scene, while the other output controlled a solenoid valve to direct the airflow to four different pneumatic cylinders. Two cylinders were connected to the legs of my creature to make him stand and the other two were connected to his arms so they would raise up when he stood. Any issues I had turned out to be operator errors and not the fault of the PicoBoo Plus. I have already purchased another PicoBoo Plus and am looking into some of the other PicoBoo controllers for other props that I am thinking about building. Such a shame Halloween is only one day out of the year. ;-)
