Tutorial – Audio and light effects (Part 2)
We'll see how to create, trigger and automate audio effects with Room and we'll add light effects with a simple connected prop.
Connect your DIY props to your network to improve customer experience:
- ensure 24/7 up-time
- upload code remotely
- control props with free Room software
Download the Arduino or Raspberry props library and start from the basic example. Get the code from GitHub…
GitHub repositories
Examples
Library to make MQTT props sketches for Escape Room 2.0 with Arduino Yun, Ethernet, WiFi and STM32 boards.
Library to make MQTT props Python applications for Escape Room 2.0 with Raspberry Pi.
Control panel to command relays with Arduino or STM32 or Raspberry Pi.
PyQt5 library to create control panels for escape room props.
Build your own DIY Relay prop:
- connect your preferred board
- Arduin Mega 2560
- STM32 Nucleo-144
- Raspberry Pi 3/3+/4
- no-code require
- GUI to configure GPIO
- auto-built control panel
- GUI to fine tune control panel
Quick and easy:
- connect the board to your LAN
- get the code from GitHub
- upload the prop code to the board
- run install.bat to install the control panel
- configure the GPIO in the wiring window
- configure the panel in the settings window

Why does the Game Master need a dashboard (Room software)?
Obviously the countdown is necessary during the course of the game. Particularly within a team of several game masters sharing the same escape room, the reset checkbox ensures that the escape room has been resetted before starting a new game. From beginning to end game, the script guides the game master (particularly newbies) to follow on clues, hints and challenges.
