Settings
The PicoFX has many powerful features that can be enabled by simply creating folders with special names. The
folders must be located in either the SD Card's ROOT folder, or the AMBIENT / INPUT1 folders depending on the
option. All folder names must start with the underscore as shown. Substitute any # characters with a number.
Folder Name
Global Options - Put these in the SD card's ROOT folder.
_NODIM1
Output 1 Dimming Disable - Sets output 1 to a mode safe for ON/OFF only devices.
_NODIM2
Output 2 Dimming Disable - Sets output 2 to a mode safe for ON/OFF only devices.
_PROTECT
Write Protect - Disables recording to protect your animation.
_TDLY###
Trigger Startup Delay - The trigger will be ignored for # seconds at startup. Use with PIRs.
Folder Name
Ambient or Input Options - Put these in the AMBIENT or INPUT# folders.
_JUKEBOX
JukeBox Mode (Ambient Only) - Plays ALL audio files start to finish while looping any animation.
The Ambient sound will also resume where it left off after playing a triggered scene.
_FADINT#
Fade on Interrupt (Ambient Only) - Fade out when interrupted . (# = fade in rate 1-5)
_PLAYALL
Play All Audio - Plays all the audio files in the folder instead of the one that matches the animation.
_NCINPUT
Normally-Closed Input (Input1 Only) - Sets trigger input for use with normally-closed triggers.
_MOMENT
Momentary Input (Input1 Only) - The scene will only play for as long as the trigger is active .
_VOL-L##
Volume - Sets volume for this folder only. Use -R for right audio channel. (0-25, default 25)
_PSD####
Trigger Post Delay (Input 1 Only) - The trigger will be ignored for # seconds after the scene plays.
_PLAYNXT
Auto Play Next - Play ALL available animation files instead of just one before stopping or looping.
_LENSND
Scene Length = Sound Length - Use this option if you want the particular scene to be exactly the
same length as your sound. Using this will stop recording and playback when the sound is done.
Troubleshooting
The IN light blinks after power-up.
• The PicoFX has determined that a PIR motion sensor is
likely connected. It's ignoring the trigger input for one
minute while the sensor warms up.
The REC button is not responding.
• The PicoFX may be write-protected. See Write-Protect-
ing Your Animation above.

PicoFX vs PicoStorm
A PicoStorm is actually a PicoFX programmed to power up and loop a thunder and lightning scene. You basically
just plug in your lights and you're done. Recording is disabled so the program can't be changed inadvertantly. A
PicoFX, on the other hand, is shipped ready to be programmed by the user. A PicoFX can easily be converted to a
PicoStorm, and vice-versa, by simple moving some folders on the SD card. See the README file on the SD card
for details.

Operation
When the PicoFX starts up it will immediately start looping the Ambient scene. If an
Ambient scene doesn't exist, it'll set the brightness of the lighting outputs to the that
indicated by the control knobs and sit idle waiting for a trigger signal.
If a trigger is activated any time during the playback of an Ambient scene, the
NO
Ambient scene will be interrupted and the Input scene will be played. Additional
triggers on the input will be ignored during playback of the Input scene. When the
Input scene has finished, the Ambient scene will start again from the beginning.
The Input scene can be manually triggered or stopped at anytime by pressing the
button. This is the PicoFX's default behavior. It can easily be altered to suit different
applications, see the Settings section for more information.
