Carousel: Control

Installed separately, as part of the Carousel bundle: this module does not come with the app installer. Open Module Catalog → Add-ons and press Install on the Carousel card, and the bundle installs all of its modules at once.

What this page is

Carousel: Control is a Control Panel tile that keeps the carousel in front of you while you stream: the pool as it stands, what is queued, and a button to spin right now. Add it from the Control Panel while editing — Edit → Add module → pick it from the list. Setting the carousel up is done on the Carousel page; this tile is for running it.

How to set it up

1. The tile fills itself as soon as the carousel module is running. There is no gear on the header, because the tile has no settings of its own. The power button sits in the row with Spin and Reset; its tooltip reads Turn off / Turn on, and it switches the whole carousel set off for the day: the tile then reads "Module is off: nothing is accepted and the OBS overlays are dark".
2. The bar across the top is the pool, with the figures written on it as collected and target in your base currency.
3. Under the bar are up to three chips. queue is how many spins are waiting; the second says whether the carousel is on automatic or by button; a third appears only while an idle discount is running and shows how much is being taken off.
4. Spin starts a spin at once, even with the bar half empty. While the ribbon is moving the button is greyed out and reads Spinning… — a second press cannot be lost, because there is nothing to press.
5. Reset clears the pool and the queue of spins. It also puts a raised target back to the base amount and switches off a running discount. The first press only turns the button into Sure?; press it again within four seconds to clear. Left alone, it goes back to Reset by itself and nothing is touched.
6. Below the buttons is the list of the last cards that came up, newest first, each with the time it happened and a coloured edge marking how rare it was. Before the first spin it reads "Nothing has come up yet".
7. A refusal from the engine appears as a red strip along the bottom of the tile for a few seconds, with the reason on it.

What it cannot do

• Reset cannot be undone. Once the second press goes through, the pool, the queue of spins and the raised target are gone.
• Spin does nothing at all when there are no cards to draw — nothing appears, and no error is shown either.
• Money cannot be added from the tile. Putting an amount into the pool by hand is done on the Carousel page.
• The target, the mode, the timings, the discount and the cards are not editable here; the tile shows them and starts spins, nothing more.
• The list of cards that came up shows the last twelve and cannot be cleared, filtered or scrolled further back.
• Amounts are in your base currency, and the tile has no currency of its own.
• The tile does not show the ribbon. What the viewers see is the Carousel overlay, a separate Browser Source in OBS.
