About The Servo Control Feature

With the Minion you can activate servo motors and similar devices using the wireless remote key fob. How cool is that?

The buttons can be easily assigned to trigger devices and/or events by using the included Minion Software.

With The Minion you can also trigger events on the timeline of a music or sound effects clip timeline. An “event” is a signal sent through the output port which uses a RJ-11 type socket. This output allows you to use a standard and inexpensive Cat5 style connector making it easy and cheap to wire your servos and devices.

Remember the wireless Key Fob is not the only way you can trigger a servo. Yes it can also be activated by an event on the timeline of an audio file, but you can also utilize the Minion Hacker Kit which allows you to hardwire switching activators. These can be standard open/close buttons but can also be things like motion detectors, lighting actuators like CDS Cells, Pressure pads and anything that can act like a switch.
