  SBrick Toolkit for Linux: Record and Play

  Remember the LEGO Technic Control Center? Now you can record and play your own LEGO automations with a big bonus: since you keep it in a file you can be a SBrick Jockey and edit it (cut, copy, mix, loop) and share with others.

    Jorge Pereira Nop. I did created a link at the end of the actual wiki page (Developers Area > Linux Client Scripts). The wiki is a bit unsorted/chaotic but if you want I can add a wiki page just for it.

    We are still improving the tool (I hope to implement Quick Drive and also merge my Firmware Upgrade Utility... as soon as I have the time) so sooner or later it will be renamed to "SBrick Controller for Linux" or something like that.

    Jorge Pereira i have to apologize... one SBrick was harmed in the making of this film.

    Today I noticed that the Ground plug of my DIY PF-battery was showing some wires - the plastic of the plug melted around the screw connection as also the isolation of the wires.

    Jorge Pereira Oh no, it's still alive and kicking. Just the power plug was afected and not much. This brave SBrick is now driving two 9V RC motors and pulling 4 Kg of groceries around my kitchen floor. All in the name of science, of course
