  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.

  Kees Jan Koster said: One of my SBricks seems to be (ahem) bricked. <> Kees Jan Hi Kees, one of my sbricks is recognized by the s2bot application on Windows, however it cannot initialize. Instead of the name 'sbrick' s2bot displays an alphanumeric : "BB-F245". Have you tried your sbrick on Windows with s2bot? I wonder if you get a code as well.   Regards, Wolly

  Hi Marc, I have a sequence distance sensor as a switch. Perhaps you can simply change this to a tilt sensor to see if it works. I have to get the distance sensor to work first...  This rotates the motor in one direction and then reverses it. Pretty simple but it's a start :) .   This post was edited by Wolly Barabash at February 3, 2017 6:50 AM CET

  Hi Marc, Thanks for the correction, I did not know they called this a "circuit" as I was concentrating on getting it to work with Scratch first. I had a quick look at the Profile Designer and I see what you mean. I need to get this to work as well as I cannot get it to work with Scratch, might as well try it with my phone. Did you find the download link for the "KIT" that is mentioned in the instructions, to get the ball rolling?

  Why not purchase the Lego tilt sensor from their WEDO 1? It's on Bricklink quite often. A picture of the tilt sensor: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=434406 There is also a schematic of the tilt sensor that you can build:   http://ofalcao.pt/blog/2014/the-lego-wedo-tilt-sensor
