SBrick iOS App

    I have exactly the same problem than Tobias Fuchs and Eric Albrecht. There are currently no profile to choose from the Market or those who should appear by default (joystick, etc) after reinstall the app.

    I tried on iPhone 5 (iOS 8.1.3) and iPhone 5s(iOS 8.1.2) and SBrick 3.2

    It's very sad because I just received my SBrick yesterday.

    Hi Philip,

    Where did you manage to download the App v3.6 from? I have been told that it is not released yet and I am still waiting for the approval (I have filled out a form for that) to have access to it. The US app store still has only the v3.2.


    Thanks,

    The new version is under Apple review. It should be available within 24 hours.

    -app crashes at Login, after restart I seem to be logged in
    -I downloaded my profile from the market (there are now 4 profiles available: gamepad II, joystick & sliders, gamepad with buttons and my profile: Unimog U400; each in personal and public area)
    -when I try to add my profile to the moc the app crashes
    -the other profiles can be added to the moc

    I tried it again with a new profile:
    -this time I could add the profile and use it for steering
    -inverting channels doesn't work
    -there is no way to delete a profile or even reload an updated profile, I always have to delete and reinstall the whole app

    Until the inverting-bug is fixed you can solve the problem by changing the sliders. Just go to the settings of a slider in the profile designer and change the parameters min and max from -1 and 1 to 1 and -1.

    The more I try to fix it, the worse it gets.  3rd gen iPad, iOS 8.1.3.  When I first installed I could update firmware, visit the marketplace, apply profiles, but I could not change the picture for a model and any attempt to actually use a model just showed a blank background with no controls.  Port tester works.  Now deleted app, rebooted device, and reinstalled.  Now there are NO profiles (not even joystick or gamepad) and marketplace is completely empty.  Therefore I can't do anything at all.

    I've just tried in the latest beta build 3.6(158), and had the same issue again.

    But then changed my password to remove an '&' and it was then accepted, though the app now crashes, but when you reload, you are actually logged in.

    I'm just compiling my feedback to the team with other issues.

    PS. 2 bricks ordered, and awaiting delivery, but assume my issues are not 'lack of bricks' related.

    I upgraded the brick firmware from my iOS app (iphone 4S - iOS 7.1) and now the brick cannot start my motor.

    The brick is discoverable from the app so I believe is not dead though. I tried to switch off and turn on again with no luck.

    [/blockquote]

     

    I had the same Problem with a few of my SBricks. I solved the Problem that way:

    - delete the SBrick APP

    - turn BlueTooth of

    - install the SBrick APP new.

    - turn BlueTooth on

    - Start the APP

    - Use the [≡] button in the upper left corner

    - tap on "Bricks"

    - now start the power for the SBrick

    - you will see a SBrick in the list

    - tap on the SBrick

    - I think the Sbrick wont' have any name (SmartBrick's name)

    - tap in the array and write a Name. To start without "&" or " " (space) would be a good idea. You can overwrite the name later.

    IMPORTANT: Be sure to complete your name with the "Return"-Button

    - tap on "Port tester"

    - wait a little moment until the "Connecting to bricks"-writing disappears (a few seconds)

    - now use the sliders an your brick should work

    Good luck!

    regards,

    Jens

    This was only related to the range of the SBrick. The description and Videos show a working a SBrick over much longer distances.

    I like the SBrick and its advantages. But this is one of the points that needs improvement. When it works fine I will order four more of them.

    I have problems with the range too. Indoors I get a range of about 8m. This is also the limit of the IR Receivers at dark conditions. So there is almost no advantage when using SBrick.

    I have only two issues with the sbrick; 1 the app is scaled for the iPhone 5 and i have an iPhone 4s hoping there will be a version for the 4s. 2. The rang of my sbrick is only about 12 meters, little more than ir but a long way off 100m promised in the website. I hope you can find a fix to these problems
    Thanks Caoimhin

    Unfortunately, I'm experiencing a lot of connection problems lately. The App promps "Could't discover all bricks" a lot when trying to open a profile, causing the profile not to open. The weird thing is, all bricks respond to the port tester in the "Bricks" menu, so it looks like it's something in the App

    It also occurs in the port-assignment screen where you assign different fuctions of the profile to the ports of the bricks. And when I hit the Port-tester button there, sometimes the app crashes. This happens specifically with the brick that the app is having trouble to connect to.

    It mainly happens to mostly to one of the V4 prototypes I have. It does have updated firmware though.
