Controllers

From Derail Valley

Controllers are special items , such as buttons and potentiometers, used to provide optional additional control for gadgets .

For example, they may be used to toggle gadgets on and off, or to fine tune light intensity. An alternating controller can be used to toggle individual gadgets sequentially, to create flashing lights, for example.

Only gadgets with electrical connections can be operated with controllers. Controllers need to be connected to the vehicle's electrics with the soldering gun , and then wired to the desired gadgets using a crimping tool .

A single controller can be used to operate multiple gadgets, if wired so.

To help identify and differentiate controllers, there is a label maker .

Controllers can be purchased in some of the shops around the valley.
