I have a problem with some code I've written which works on my desktop PC but doesn't work when I run the same program on my android phone. It's very simple - I use the Smart Motor Position Reset block to set the position of a smart motor to zero when a linear actuator is full retracted. Then I use Smart Motor set Position to set the motor to position 500 - which means the linear actuator is fully extended. If I then use Set Position to 0 the actuator retracts. This works perfectly on my PC, but when I run the program on my Android Phone there's a problem: the Set Position to 0 command doesn't work. The motor does nothing. The Set Position to 500 DOES work, but Set Position to Zero doesn't work. Any thoughts on that?!?! less

I want to have a slider for steering but for it to have a RANGE. I am using a smart motor with rotation sensor so it should be possible to have the steering slider stop working if it senses its out of range? However it seems to only evaluate the IF function when the slider is first moved, not continually. Does that make sense? Image attached. Thanks!

You can connect it as a "smart" motor then you can use the calibration block for that.

Fabrice Bovy: I have a strange behavior when creating a project on iPad and open it from Windows.
I had to remove all hubs then add them again and reconfigure all virtual ports.
Is it a normal behavior ?

yes, the iPadOS fakes the hw address of the hub, so it is always changeing so we not save it.

I am testing 2 Sbricks before I commit to 28 more. Please advise. I have a massive Lego Train Layout (outdoors) and have 27 powered engines in total.
I am playing with the SBrick Pro App (Beta) because it will run when not all Sbricks are available (some trains won't be powered on all the time). The current app on the Google App store does not allow this....all Sbricks must be connected for the app to run.
Using the Pro App:
I have added in 2 simple start buttons, and used the coding to do this:
1. Added a 'Virtual Hub' to link up Sblock (on left, and set it to a motor on Port D)
2. Added a 'Virtual Hub' to link up Sblock (on right, and set it to a motor on Port D)
However, the Pro App sees both Sblocks as "Sblock 12" Although I have changed their name to different names (Sblock-1 and Sblock-2)
But, what happens is, both buttons then revert to the last Sblock I programmed (Sblock-2) so I am unable to get a button to control the Sblock-1, and the other button Sblock-2

One more issue, it´s working on PC with Windows, but when I try it on Android devices voltage is showing only 0. I´m using ON START+FOREVER DO+CAPTION SET TEXT+VOLTMETER VOLT? Is it correct??
May 2, 2021
Fabrice Bovy
Hi, same remark, use "caption set text" = "Volmeter volt" on "On start" and on event "When voltage change value".
Always try to avoid loops

I think, that it´s problem on adroid device. Because on my laptop works all combination with voltage, but on my cell phone it´s always showing 0. I´ll try on another device.

I made some simple tests with the new SBrick Light and I find a bug...
When I use 2 buttons to trigger set color X in Y seconds on 2 different ports (H and G):
- Button on port H set color green in 5 seconds
- Button2 on port G set color red in 5 seconds.
When I click on Button, the led on port H shades on green but when I click on Button2 before it ends, I mean before the 5 seconds, the led on port G shades on red and the led on port H turns to green with orange...
When I do the opposite, click on Button2 then on Button, the led on port G turns off and the les on port H shades to green correctly.
However, if I wait for the 5 seconds, everything works perfectly.
Hope my explanation is clear enough less

Whatever I try, it looks that it´s not possible to have two slider with different settings to control one motor. I would like to have one slider to control extending boom together with unwinding rope. But also have another slider to control rope drum separatly.
April 20, 2021
Lénárd Pásztor
I see that you update the motor status from multiple loops, so this is why it is not working. You need to modify your code to make sure that the motor receiving value from one slider at a time.

Marek Klajman
I´ve find solutions, I´m not using slider, but buttons - not that clean solutions as I thought, but it´s working. If you will find time to try, please show me what you mean.

Hi, you should use events instead of loops...
Try with "When ... controller change value" in dark green blocks

But I´m newbie in this kind of programming/coding. I´d like ask you for some help. I have Lucio Switch crane trucks with 4 Sbricks. My goal is: extending/retracting boom with two winches uwinding at the same time with one slider. But also have capability to control both winches with separate slider. At this time I have this. But it´s not working properly. Extending/retracting is working, but separate sliders for two winches not. Is here someone who can help. Thanks for any suggestion.
EDIT: To creator - is it even possible to have two slider to control one output/one motor - e.g. one slider for simultaneously operate two motors and second slider for only one of that two?? less

Please find some bugs :
- 1.BUG: if I use the data of 88007 distance sensor as a direct input for smart motor postition, it stops to work after a minute..(see pic.1). There is no same problem in case of servo motor! (see pic.2) I tried with 88008 and 88013 lego motors.
-2. BUG: In case of slow controling of SERVO motor, the results is jerking. It seems as a result of oversteering and than corrigation of that. So less balanced/ nubbly working than with Lego Powered up app-.
in case of 88008 motor the result is worse than with 88013. (pic.3)
- 3. BUG: still software crash in case /motor "x" set brake-true/
and some ideas. If you do not use them, disagre or needs too much energy to implement them, just skip on it
I would really welcome some new Hubs blocks, like:
- 4.IDEA: - /motor "x" rotate with "y" with speed "z"/
or /motor "x" change position "CW/CCW" with speed "z"/,
where y= the amount of positon change (so not the position number)

- 7. IDEA - possibilty to define the min value of a slider at the controller window --> for example to model gas pedal in case of RC cars, define min.value to 20, which means if you do not grab the slider, it goes with 20%..) see pic5. what I mean.

Maybe we can use their firmware too to make them compatible. For controlling in general without a mobile device I have a very different idea which could be a new product in future.
With limited functionality I mean that you can use sensors with the profile designer circuits feature, because it is no programming in the SBrick app. less

Hi All!
We created an update for train fans. Our users usually configure multiple trains in one profile. The problem started when not all trains powered on and the profile not started. Now you can stop the discovery and run the profile if you want even if not all device connected. We hope this solves the problem. Any comments are welcome. :)

SBrick Light goes on presale in only a few hours, so there's time to give you another sneak peek at SBrick Pro, our next app. In this video we show how easy it is to operate LEGO Control+ from our app, and then use a PF2 sensor to communicate with an IR receiver to run motors. Check it out!
