Support for two Joysticks would be great. Imagine two Trains powered by sBrick controlled by independent joysticks. Then when you couple them, press a button on one of the joysticks and you then are in charge of both trains in dual tractions. With the app itself it works greatly but not with the two joysticks for my children. Please add!
A Gyro, it would solve the problem of turning properly and returning to original position. Rotary encoders and GPS are way too complicated and require new hardware on peripherals that you do not build, or a lot more power. A small gyro chip would work wonders for any application I can think of.

You can use Mad Catz C.T.R.L.R for exemple.

So, reading about hardware addons:
Now four pins on port are +V C1 C2 GND, and C1 and C2 are both PWM-capable.
Is there any possibility for them to become +V TX RX GND, in UART sense, or other 2-wire protocol? I suspect there is no problem for TX, but sensing RX through power circuits may be a problem. Will add-ons connect directly to smartphone? Or there is some not yet used / released way to use communication protocol on current HW?

Hello,
Unfortunately such functionality is unavailable in the current SBrick hardware.

+1 for studless case for SBrick, with an odd size. I just hate how I always have to either a) deal with a half stud offset, or b) lose 5L x 5L of real estate in my chassis. Just moving the holes by half a stud would be enough (if fully studless was not possible)...something like this?:
Fully studless would be better though, so I don't have a wasted space underneath the SBrick.
+1 for a high-current LiPo as well. Again, studless would be nice...
+1 for the CamBrick too. Not sure if BT has the bandwidth to transmit live video at any decent resolution though... Controlling the CamBrick's lense etc via an SBrick would be nice, too.
A fully dimmable, controllable RGB LED system would be nice too. Maybe C1 could be Hue and C2 could be Dimmer or something?

how about possibility to control SBRICK with PS/XBOX/PC compatible joystick? :)

Hello!
It is under developing. In the future it will be available.
Here you can find a topic about the remote control, https://social.sbrick.com/forums/topic/151/a-physical-remote-control
Best regards,
Balint Mezei - SBrick Tea,
Dear Barrie,
The SBrick is built around the BLE113 module. The motors are driven with DRV8833 ICs
Learn more at: https://social.sbrick.com/wiki/view/pageId/9/slug/user-guide-for-sbrick
Can you please tell me something about the Sbrick? What type of device it is and what are its applications?
Is it any MCU board for the control applications?
What are its all hardware components and their specifications?
One thing that you can make is a motor that fit perfectly with lego valves, and that can be controlled with a 3 position lever on the touchpad, another could be a controller, designed to one sbrick (to help whose need it for fast creation where to have a feedback in the controller while driving could help really a lot!, i've suggest it in the survey "why you haven't buy an sbrick") or also a sort of modular/buildable one, like a central processor and some outputs where you can link joystick, buttons, sliding buttons and so on, for more complex machine

today , i build my first moc with SBRICK ,chance to have a functionnable tablet !
the first thing annoying,the battery emplacement,we need a new lipo battery ,smaller than lego batteries
thanks "pere noel"

Actually we are working on two battery model designed for the SBrick users. Updates coming in this summer..

a brick with different sound recordable
[/blockquote]
Very good idea! Something functional as Soundmodul USM-RC-2 (http://www.beier-electronic.de/modellbau/home/home.php) or like Tractor Truck Multi-Function Control Unit (http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/item.php?product-id=56511) for RC scale models.
Also good addon is modern version of parts like: ELECTRIC, SOUND SIREN 9V (http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=4774c02), ELECTRIC, LIGHT BRICK (http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=4771) compatible with PF.
Finally LEGO didn't manufacture military models. As you all knew WW2 tanks are very popular novadays ;-) I suggest a kit for IR tank battles (http://www.tamiya.com/english/products/53447battle_system/battle_system.htm). Some info for reference: http://forum.rcdesign.ru/f99/thread363796.html

Maybe a sound block with 7 different slots.
while Power = -7 => Record Slot 7
...
while Power = -1 => Record Slot 1
if Power = 0 => do nothing
if/ while Power = 1 => Play Slot 1
...
if/ while Power = 7 => Play Slot 7
It would be compatible with the official receiver and the sBrick.
