Overview

The MASSO cloud-based Lua Editor allows you to create and edit Custom Scripts directly from your cloud-based myWorkshop account.

You can then download and install these scripts onto your MASSO controller.

This is in addition to the Custom Scripts editor available directly on your MASSO controller.

Compatibility

This is available to anyone with any level of controller software, however a subscription to myWorkshop PRO is required to access the LUA Cloud Editor.

Please Note: Only controllers running PRO level software can run LUA scripts.
