    Alex - I followed those steps exactly and I get the same result. After the message: The Profile has been downloaded successfully. Do you want to set up now? I click OK and I am unable the set Channel Settings.

    This is extremely frustrating. I have spent hours and hours trying to make the Profile work. Am about ready to sell my SBricks on eBay.

    Hello Roger

    To get the lights to stay on you need to go back to the profile designer and open the switch control and uncheck the auto reset check mark save your profile reload it into you device.

    Make sure your brick is on when you load the profile in and get the message to setup a channel and you say yes the brick will open and you can assign your function to the brick inputs when done click the save  click on the arrow in the my creations section and the control should open.

     

    Cheers

    Need help making a Profile work.

    I designed a Profile with 3 sliders and a button. The sliders are for Steering, Acceleration and Dumping (dump truck). The button is for Lights On/Off. Saved the Profile.

    Then I downloaded the Profile to My Creation. I see a message: The profile has been downloaded successfully. Do you want to set up now? After clicking OK, I see the option for Channel Settings and Clinometer Settings. Clicking on Channel Settings produces no result. Then I saved the Profile. But then when I attempt to use the Profile, I get a message: Please set up at least one port! I assume ports and channels are the same thing. Anyway there is no way to "set up at least one port." If I click SBricks from the pull down menu, I can test the 4 functions I designed for the Profile one at a time. They all work except the Lights button must be held to illuminate the lights. Releasing the button turns off the lights.

    So - 1) How do I get the Profile to work without the "Please set up at least one port!" message?

            2) How do I make the Lights button an On/Off button and not "lights on" only while I hold the button?

    Thanks for any help. Roger Bush

    Hi there!

    I tried to get the sequence running, but encountered a problem: the option "keep on" in the sequence editor doesn't work, I got the settings to "no repeat" and "auto stop". The sequence always stops after the sequence time (0,5s) but the light is off.

    To describe my intention: I have the head lights and the rear lights of my car on two different channels. So that the rear light is only running at 0.2 while the head light is on 0.5. Now I want to make a second sequence button to have a sort of full beam on the head lights (running on 1.0) while the rear light still is on 0.2.

    And I don't want to have two different buttons for rear and headlights, as it's not like this in a real car :-)

    Can you help me with my problem?

    Thanks a lat guys!!!

    Your request has nothing to do with the file format, we just currently working on bigger features. :)

    But like Balint's said, this feature is on our list.

    Question: is there a way to change the ration of an existing profile?

    I have a profile with the ration 16:9 and want to "copy" this profile to a 16:10 ratio ... is there a way?

     

    Thx in advance!

    Hello! 

     

    Unfortunately, this function is not available. :(

    So, you have to creat a new one with the convenient screen ratio. 

    We are planning to make it in the future, but it it takes us time yet.

    Hello Klaus,

    First of all, you need to add a button to the profil.
    You can set the button's output vaule to 0. If you use the button and the slider with the same chanell name, the slider will switch to zero when you touch the button.

    If you need more help just let me know.

    Tamas.

    Hey,

    I just saw a video on YT (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9h49WccF5c) were somebody controlled first every motor with one slider each. Then he controled all motors with one sequence button together. I tried to do the same, but I just can control every SBrick Port by one Button or Slider. (iOS App) So I have to decide, controlling with sliders or sequence button. 

    For me its not possible to build trafficators and hazard flashrs with just to pairs of LEGO LEDs; I would need 4 pairs...

     

    Thanks!

    Sadly, I can't reproduce your problem, but i want. Please provide me the affected profile's ID to fix this ASAP.

    Where can I find my profiles' ID on this website?

    It's in the browser's url bar, like https://designer.sbrick.com/index.php?profile=12345

    In
    this example the 12345 is the ID.

    Hello Zsolf

    I followed the recent message exchanges regarding Profile Designer and just finished testing with Chrome 51.0.2704.106 64 bit on profiles 11941, 11876, 11846 and 8491  the sliders work but the Points and Values and there variable ajustmensts dont show up in the menu for Joysticks but they must be there because the joysticks work correctly when the profile is added and the bricks are assigned in the OS version 4.1 on my iPhone 6+ my iPad Air and my iPad Pro  The first two are on OS 9.3.3 and the pro is on a beta of OS 10

    Thanks for the work I haope this helps track the error.

    Cheers
