Operating Manual

Introduction

Welcome to the Holoseat. We hope it serves you as well as it has our development team (yes, we really use it). Please be sure share your experience online.

The Operating Manual covers the set up and use of the Holoseat. It starts with the steps needed to prepare the Holoseat for first time use. It then moves on to how to use the Holoseat hardware while playing your games, followed by instructions for the desktop configuration app. Finally, the Operating Manual closes with some troubleshooting steps.

Setting up the Holoseat

connecting the sensors to the controller, connecting the controller to the computer, what happens when you plug it in, and how to set up the configuration app

Using Holoseat in game

Basic operation

Move forward

(single step, walking)

Move backward

(single step, walking)

Configuring Holoseat with the Desktop App

use the app to make live updates (maintained until the power is removed from the Holoseat) or to update the default settings (maintained when power is removed)

Be sure to select the appropriate COM port.

To make any changes live updates, click the ??? button. To make any changes updates to the default values, click the ?? button.

Troubleshooting

I am pedaling, but my character is not walking.

There are a couple of things to try when your character is not walking.

  1. Is the Enabled button lit?
    If not, enable the Holoseat by pressing the Enable button or using the desktop configuration app.
  2. Are the sensor lights winking off when you pedal past them?
    If not, adjust the placement of the magnet/sensors until they do.
