  I am testing 2 Sbricks before I commit to 28 more. Please advise.
  I have a massive Lego Train Layout (outdoors) and have 27 powered engines in total.
  I am playing with the SBrick Pro App (Beta) because it will run when not all Sbricks are available (some trains won't be powered on all the time). The current app on the Google App store does not allow this....all Sbricks must be connected for the app to run.
  
  Using the Pro App:
  I have added in 2 simple start buttons, and used the coding to do this:
  1. Added a 'Virtual Hub' to link up Sblock (on left, and set it to a motor on Port D)
  2. Added a 'Virtual Hub' to link up Sblock (on right, and set it to a motor on Port D)
  However, the Pro App sees both Sblocks as "Sblock 12" Although I have changed their name to different names (Sblock-1 and Sblock-2) But, what happens is, both buttons then revert to the last Sblock I programmed (Sblock-2) so I am unable to get a button to control the Sblock-1, and the other button Sblock-2

I actually think I may have figured it out tonight. I bought a PS4 controller and connected it to the app BrickController2 on my iPhone. Then I was able to specify what motors spin a specific direction for each joystick axis and created the correct combinations to move the way I want. Here's a diagram of the way you cans each motor needs to turn to create movement in each direction. https://www.vexforum.com/uploads/default/original/2X/c/c7963dec531b7e893ddcf91c4fc9159928c4b56c.jpeg
    I'll try and get some video showing the movement and how the controller controls it and once I'm really happy with it I can screenshot the settings in case other people want to do it.  less

    Marek Klajman One more issue, it´s working on PC with Windows, but when I try it on Android devices voltage is showing only 0. I´m using ON START+FOREVER DO+CAPTION SET TEXT+VOLTMETER VOLT? Is it correct??

    • May 2

    Fabrice Bovy Hi, same remark, use "caption set text" = "Volmeter volt" on "On start" and on event "When voltage change value".
    Always try to avoid loops

    Marek Klajman I think, that it´s problem on adroid device. Because on my laptop works all combination with voltage, but on my cell phone it´s always showing 0. I´ll try on another device.

  I made some simple tests with the new SBrick Light and I find a bug...
  When I use 2 buttons to trigger set color X in Y seconds on 2 different ports (H and G):
  - Button on port H set color green in 5 seconds
  - Button2 on port G set color red in 5 seconds.
  When I click on Button, the led on port H shades on green but when I click on Button2 before it ends, I mean before the 5 seconds, the led on port G shades on red and the led on port H turns to green with orange...
  When I do the opposite, click on Button2 then on Button, the led on port G turns off and the les on port H shades to green correctly.
  However, if I wait for the 5 seconds, everything works perfectly.
  Hope my explanation is clear enough  less

    Marek Klajman Whatever I try, it looks that it´s not possible to have two slider with different settings to control one motor. I would like to have one slider to control extending boom together with unwinding rope. But also have another slider to control rope drum separatly.

    Lénárd Pásztor I see that you update the motor status from multiple loops, so this is why it is not working. You need to modify your code to make sure that the motor receiving value from one slider at a time.
