This FrightProps tutorial demonstrates how to use the PicoBoo JR controller to trigger car headlights and a 12V DC car horn as part of a car crash prop kit. The PicoBoo JR uses two relay outputs and simple push-button programming, making it accessible even for beginners. Because the audio in this setup comes directly from the hardware horn rather than a sound board, the PicoBoo JR is an ideal fit for this type of self-contained prop effect.
The PicoBoo JR from FrightProps is a compact, beginner-friendly prop controller designed for haunted attraction use. It requires no computer or software — animations are programmed directly on the unit by pressing buttons in real time. With two relay outputs and a trigger input, it can control power to props and respond to external activation signals.
FrightProps showcases a dedicated weight-detecting puzzle controller built for escape room applications. The system uses a four-relay setup that independently triggers outputs based on whether a scale reads below, above, or exactly at a pre-programmed target weight. Audio cues accompany each puzzle state to guide players, and all timing and weight threshold values are user-programmable. The prop supports loads up to 10 lbs, making it suitable for a wide range of physical puzzle designs.
