  Alexandre Campos I wonder... will the SBrick work with the 9V train controller (using, of course, a PF converter cable)? That's really useful for stationary models. For example, the IR receiver needs an empty PF battery box to work.

    Lénárd Pásztor I need to check this.

    Tamás Fábián The SBrick currently only uses the power pins to receive power from the battery box (or any other power source). As far as I can see now, we need to redesign the SBrick power circuitry to make it compatible with the 9V power supply. It's not a big deal,...  moreThe SBrick currently only uses the power pins to receive power from the battery box (or any other power source). As far as I can see now, we need to redesign the SBrick power circuitry to make it compatible with the 9V power supply. It's not a big deal, since we need to change quite a few things anyway. I'll put this onto our TODO list (Lénárd, I think we might need one of those 9V power supplies )  less

    Alexandre Campos Cool! But, for testing purposes, any 9V battery box will do: electrically there's no difference (besides the fact that the train controller can supply less than the nominal voltage).

    Lénárd Pásztor ok, so the battery box in 8287 will be fine to test? I have one

    Alexandre Campos Yes, it should work fine.

    Lénárd Pásztor OK, I will test it soon!

    Lénárd Pásztor It not worked with the prototype, but we found solution to make it work with the final product!
