Controlinator
Usage and Behavior
The Controlinator, like other such gadgets, can be placed directly on objects or inside circuit boards such as that of the Microchip. By default, when placed directly onto an object, a player within range can press to enter it. The player loses control of their Sackperson once seated; instead, the player's controller inputs produce signals from their respective outputs found on the Controlinator's circuit board, allowing the player to control whatever input(s) it's hooked up to. A single Eject input is found on the bottom, which forcibly ejects the user when it receives a digital ON signal, and prevents the Controlinator from being used as long as it is active.
In LittleBigPlanet 2 and LittleBigPlanet 3, the Controlinator has 18 outputs, each corresponding to an input on the user's controller.
- Active; produces a digital ON signal when the Controlinator is currently active - either when a Sackthing is seated, or the gadget is receiving input from a Transmitter.
Face Buttons have four outputs, each corresponding to the shape buttons on the right hand side of the controller. These each produce a digital ON signal when pressed.
cannot be used by seated players unless Popit Controls are disabled in its tweak menu. This limitation does not apply to receivers controlled by the nearest player.
Directional Buttons are comprised of two directional outputs that correspond to
and
on the left hand side of the controller.

produce a Positive signal, while

produce a Negative signal.
- Like

and
both produce a digital ON signal when pressed.
and
both produce an analogue signal based on how much the trigger is pressed down.
Analog Sticks produce an analogue signal based on how far the respective stick is pushed in a given direction. Like with
, up/right movements produce positive signals, and down/left movements produce negative signals.
L3 produces a digital ON signal when clicking in the Left Stick.
is reserved for the Exit Controlinator function in Create Mode, and thus does not have its own output.
- Tilt produces analogue signals based on how the user tilts their controller.
- Tilt Left/Right corresponds to the controller's Roll axis, with the arrow on
pointing either at the ceiling or the floor.
- Tilt Up/Down corresponds to the controller's Pitch axis, with the USB charging port facing either the ceiling or the floor.
- Tilt Left/Right corresponds to the controller's Roll axis, with the arrow on
It should be noted that and
cannot be used by seated players unless Popit Controls are disabled in its tweak menu.
