I fixed my problem from earlier! The problem, which is posted somewhere above on this thread, was that the control profiles were invisible. I was still ues controls like joysticks, but was unable to see them. I fixed this by deleting and re-downloading the SBrick IOS app. It worked perfectly from then on! Hope this helps someone else who has this problem!
Peter,
I have just posted a short video of my LEGO Particle Accelerator working with my SBrick! Hurrah!
Having to use the Port tester since I just need a simple forward/backward slider bar for variable speed control. Will await profile editor and make such a thing once it becomes available.
Still no success with selecting a photo. Neither the 'Camera' nor 'Photo Library' buttons respond when trying to select a source for the image.
Never mind...
Conor
Thanks, Philip.
Does Port Tester just give on/off options, or do I use the sliders? and what does 'RST' mean? Is it supposed to be a button that responds to your touch? Mine don't...
On my Ipad I CANNOT choose the pictures, no response from ither 'Camera' or 'Gallery' options.
Any other advice from other users, please?
Thanks
Hi,
just connected to SBrick (after 4 or 5 attempts).
Can I please ask:
Do I need to have 'Indicator LED' switched 'ON' for SBrick to work?
How do I add custom image to profile? When I select 'Camera' or 'Photo' there is no response from the app (Ipad Mini ios 8.1). Is this feature enabled?
How do I make a custom profile to drive a single motor? I only want to vary the speed of a motor, and not have the joystick/control 'spring' back to zero when released. All i want it a simple 'power' slider. Is there such a simple profile, or do I have to wait until the profile editor is released before I can create one?
Many thanks in advance.

I am currently having a problem in which the profiles are blank. The tank i'm using drives well using sarial's tank profile, but I cannot see the buttons on my screen! Im using an iphone 4s with the latest app version and the latest ios. This has only been since the newest update. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi All,
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.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi everyone, and thanks for that wonderful peace of technic from Germany. Just received my two sbricks today. Had the same problem as quoted above. Turned off sbrick.

About my "hardware" (case) problems, I confirm ALL OF MY SBricks show a faulty case, with defective C and D mechanical connectors (not the electric ones).

Some of our supporters reported case problems. Please write about it (and send pictures) to shipping@sbrick.com, then we will replace the case for you.
Hi Peter,
does the brick show up in the brick list at all?

Hi,
I have downloaded the latest SBrick app from the apple store (US). A few things I expereinced:
1. The app does not connect to the brick at all. Tried to re-start the phone (iPhone 4S with IOS7+), no success.
2. When I want to use the new menu in the settings and want to test the ports, the app quits.
Please le tme know, what should I do.
Thanks a lot,
Peter

Hi Christian!
Did you connect the remote controller function to the channels?
You can do that by tapping on the brick in the MOC view. The channel setup screen will pop up with a port tester at the top. Tap on the channels to choose which function should go to wich channel.

Hi!
I would need some help with the Volvo 42030 profile. Let me explain my issue: I downloaded the Volvo 42030 profile on my iphone 4s: it was cut due to rsolution issues (as we know) but it worked fine.
Then I tried to search it in the market on my iPad Mini. But I couldn't find it!!! Is it available for iPad?!
Any help?
Thanks in advance!!!

I have the same or a very similar problem. I can connect to the Sbrick and do the port test. I can setup the ports in the iOS app for steering and accelerating. However, once I want to use the app for actual steering, nothing happens. It loads a screen showing the blurred picture, a small cancel cross at the left top and a toggle switch a little right of the cancel cross. Nothing more.
Update 10 minutes later: Read some more of your replies and now I know that it only works with some profiles, if I understood that right. Now I'm driving around with the Joystick profile. Happy that it works, still not impressed with the iOS app at all :D
Hi Lenard,
Indeed, I should have read the previous emails:-) I have restarted my iPhone 4S (running 8.1.2), re-started the Bloetooth connection and also I had to add the profiles again, including testing the ports. Then, everythink looks fine. Still, at random, the app quits (especially when I want to test the ports). On the bright side, my 4 x 4 Crawler 2012 test machine works fine (hurrah!!!!) only with the following profiles:
Gameport with one control, Gameport with two controls, Joystick.
The only funny thing is that if you use the Gameport with one control, the dial with the 4 directions is not visible at all. So, driving the machine is fine, but you can not see anyhting on the screen, except the background.
Also, do you have any tips, how can I activate the headlights? I have connected it to one of the ports, but there is no profile that can work with this set that controls lights separately.
Btw.: when will you publish the profile editor? I think that would be really "awesome" to open possibilities even further possibilities and users can be even stronger motivated to buy the bricks!!
Cheers,
Peter
Any ideas are welcome:-)
