PropX Control Center
The desktop app for your PropX controllers. Pair over Bluetooth to build multi-step shows, manage sound, and set up WiFi. Cloud remote control is coming soon.
Version 0.1.14· macOS (Apple Silicon) & Windows
What you need
- macOS: Apple Silicon (M1 or later), macOS 11 Big Sur or later
- Windows: 64-bit Windows 10 or 11
- Bluetooth turned on
- A PropX Pro, Motor, Outdoor, or Mini
The macOS build is Apple Silicon only — it won’t run on an Intel Mac. The PropX-Tinker doesn’t use this app — it’s driven from a USB-C serial console instead, covered in its console reference.
What you can do
Build multi-step showsLay out relays, sound, and lighting on a timeline, then save the show straight to your controller.
Test your hardwareFire relays, play sounds, drive DMX and LED strips, and exercise motors before a show goes live.
Set up WiFiPut a controller on your network. Cloud remote control — running it when you're not standing next to it — is coming soon.
Keep firmware currentCheck for and install controller firmware updates without pulling the prop apart.
Install and first run
- 1Run the installerOn macOS, open the .dmg and drag PropX Control Center into Applications. On Windows, run the setup .exe and follow the installer.
- 2Launch itOpen PropX Control Center from Applications (macOS) or the Start menu (Windows). The macOS build is signed and notarized by Apple, so it opens normally — no security workaround needed.
- 3Allow BluetoothThe first time it runs, your system asks for Bluetooth permission. Allow it — this is how the app talks to your controllers.
- 4Pair your first controllerPower on a controller, put it in pairing mode (hold Record + Output 1 for 5 seconds until the light flashes purple), click Scan, and follow the pairing guide below.
After that the app keeps itself up to date — it checks for a new version shortly after it starts and offers to install it. You can also check any time from PropX Control Center › Check for Updates in the menu bar.
