    M MBou: Do you setted aspect ratio for your profile to 4:3? It's important to use the correct device ratio at the moment.

    Tanja: If you are logged in, and still not seen any of your profile, please check your device's screen ratio (eg.: 16:9, 4:3, etc.).

    Martin: It's seems like an app problem. We are going to investigate it as soon as possible.

    Hello,

    I had created an profile with the profile designer. I can download the profile in the Android SBrick App 0.8 (market; my profiles) but I can't  linked the profil in my creation because it does not shown (my creation; linkes profiles).What can I do?

    Best regards

    Tanja

    Hello, I have the iOS version 3.63 (build 204). I have llogged in using my ID but no profile I have created appear on my iPad.
    Have you considered making the Profile Designer as stand alone program to install on a PC or Mac and the option to upload profiles created to a database? It would save a lot of disappointments. Thanks and best regardsm

    hi! ^^

    I've been playing with the designer for a bit here and i've hit a snag on my current project.

    it seems the joystick rotating does not work/take effect in the app. i have tried this on both my Ipad 4 and my LG G3s. both the apps work quite good, and i would like to use the sbrick with just one joystick rotated 45 degrees to control a tank type setup. however when i rotate it (note i cannot get it exactly 45 degrees) in the designer it's not rotated on the phone/tablet.

    Strange.

    What is your app type and version?

    Are you logged in with your social account in the app? (you can login in the slide menu on left)

    Hi!

    You should use 4:3 ratio.

    I did the test with a L but for the switch I am using a M.

    I builded my switch using Ronald Vallenduuk's one (http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=67730) because I use my old 12V tracks with 73696 a 73697 switch points.

    I tried with L motor. I will try to change the values. Did you test this with android app?

    Hi Frederic,

    I think you can achive that functionality right now, because the track switch control is just a slider control without auto release, and with a balanced min and max output.

    [/blockquote]

    I tried setting the values to -0.1 and 0.1 but I did not see a difference. I am using the v0.80 android app

     

    Thank you

    I also rtried again NXT45 R. train profile (https://social.sbrick.com/videos/7730/96/sbrick-reset-profile)

    when I press the button (the slidder position does not matters) the first time the motor spin at full speed

    when I press again the button the motor stops

     

    Did I make mistakes or this is not working on android app yet?

    Thank you

    Do you know when the track switch control will be available?

    Hi,

    I managed to create a simple Train Profile, now my iOS app does not crash since I got a background.png in my profile.

    A while ago there was a "Horizon Express" Profile available, I would like something like this back.

    New questions:

    1. How to add/configure an emergency stop button for the motor? Normally the motor is controlled by a slider, but it is not very easy to set the slider back to "0". The "Horizon Express" did offer such an emergency stop.

    Thanks,
    Holger

    Hi Holger, I made a video on how to do this. Here is a link. https://social.sbrick.com/videos/7730/96/sbrick-reset-profile

    4. Is it possible to make one profile which allows to controll two (or more) SBricks? Typically you run various trains, and only one remote would be great. I only have one SBrick, but maybe I get myself a second one?

    [/blockquote]

    Hallo Holger,

    ich habe selbst schon ein bißchen rumprobiert/gelesen und kann Dir folgende Antworten geben:

    1. Das soll gehen, indem Du im Profil dem Schubregler einen Kanalnamen gibst. Diesen Namen verwendest Du auch bei einem Knopf. Es soll dann so sein, dass durch das Drücken des Knopfes der Schubregler wieder auf Null gesetzt wird.
      Schau mal auf Seite 3 dieses Topics, letztes Posting. Ich denke, das erwähnte Auto-Reset ist das was Du willst.
    2. Stand jetzt gibt es 2 Möglichkeiten: Du kannst das im Hintergrundbild einarbeiten. Du kannst aber auch einen Text als Grafik mit durchsichtigem Hintergrund anlegen. Dann fügst Du Deinem Profil einen Knopf hinzu. Diesem Knopf weist Du dann Deine Text-ohne-Hintergrundgrafik zu. Dann kannst Du diesen Text/Knopf frei auf der Oberfläche verschieben. Sieht leider beim Scalieren nicht sehr schön aus, aber es geht. Du musst nur zusehen, dass Du diesem "Knopf" keine Funktion/Kanal zuweist, sonst ist er im Profil antippbar.
    3. -
    4. Wenn ich richtig aufgepasst habe, dann kannst Du in einem Profil 16 Bausteine verwenden. je Baustein 4 Kanäle -> 64 Kanäle in der Summe.
      Ich habe selbst ein Profil für 3 Bausteine erstellt. Ich nutze sie zwar in einem MOC, an einem Akku, aber Du kannst es auch mit zwei Akkus und 2 SBricks in zwei MOCs machen. Du musst dann nur aufpassen, dass Du die Kanäle richtig zuordnest. Nicht dass Du dann mit Schubregler1 den Zug1 steuerst und mit Knopf1 das Licht an Zug2 an/ausmachst. Die Kanalbelegung bestimmst Du aber im Setting-Menü in der SBrick-App.

    1000Steine-Grüße,
    jens

    4. Is it possible to make one profile which allows to controll two (or more) SBricks? Typically you run various trains, and only one remote would be great. I only have one SBrick, but maybe I get myself a second one?

    Hi,

    This feature is not implemented yet in the profile designer. We are working hard to make new features in the profile designer, like LED controls.

    I know that it's not easy but you can just name them the same. I have made a how-to video on how to do that. Just look it up on the videos tab of the website.
