Behavior

  • Good for mixer strips, dimmers and lab power setpoints.
  • Takes less horizontal room inside dense dashboards.
  • Often grouped in banks with shared units.

Firmware contract

Same firmware contract as Slider; only the orientation changes.

On the app side this widget snaps to the 8-column square grid and uses vertical resizing. Its raw type is VERTICAL_SLIDER and the matching icon token in the app is slider.vertical.3.

Pin support: A configured pin is required before the widget becomes meaningful.

Transmission: Payload format depends on the widget type and the selected pinType.

Allowed pin families

Bound to the configured pinType and limited by how the current app/connector serialize the widget payload.

Transport path

Payload leaves the canvas through the dashboard transport and lands on the selected virtual, digital or analog endpoint.

Operational limits

Server-side behavior may still depend on board library support and project policy.

Configuration surface

  • Color, label and position are stored in the dashboard profile.
  • Use the app-side widget config sheet to tune behavior per widget type.

Limits and caveats

  • Server-side behavior may still depend on board library support and project policy.
