    General Impressions:
    Overall I found that V2.0 of the Android App was great. I did not have any problems with firmware or lag, and all my custom profiles were available straight away. It has worked great everytime that I have used it and I haven't found range to be an issue yet (max tested range of approx 25m down driveway). Just a few minor tweaks for me.
    Thanks,

    Minor Issues Part 2
    Clinometer Motor Inversion:
    I'm not sure if this forum is the correct place for this issue but while testing the Clinometer Function (which works awesome by the way), I found that the "invert" channel options for reversing motor direction are currently ineffective.
    Clinometer Settings: 
    My last suggestion is to do with the Clinometer Function and Settings found within the Android App (the Green/ Red "pie segment" plot and three sliders). I was wondering if we could have some diagrams showing the default "zero" position/ orientation for our devices once the Clinometer has been engaged, as well as some description of each setting.
    When I first used this function I had to place my Unimog on a kind of stand and spent a good 20 minutes trying to figure out how to hold my phone so that none of the motors were engaged, which way was "Pitch", which way was "Roll" and what each of the three sliders controlled within the settings. I now know that the first two control the red (dead)...    less

    Hi Guys,
    I have now had time to try out the new android app on my Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (Android 4.4.2) and have noticed a few minor issues that I hope can be rectified in one of the future releases.
    Slider Tracking:
    I too have noticed an issue with a slider that has "Auto Reset" turned OFF. Essentially the slider button tracks with my finger perfectly at first use (say when I set it to full throttle and take my finger off the screen). However when I touch the slider button for a second time and try move it to a new position then the slider button jumps ahead of my finger and moves erratically. Not a major issue but a bug that I thought was worth mentioning.
    Vehicle Control with Joystick:
    I currently have a modified Unimog which uses one servo motor for steering, and two L-motors (connected to a single port) for drive. Recently I have been using the standard "42042S Crawler Crane" profile to control this by assigning both acceleration and steering ports to the RH Joystick. This has previously been...    less

    Thanks for all the input and updates. It all sounds fantastic and I can't wait to try the next app version.

    I too find it hard waiting, but I'd rather the developer's take their time to deliver a quality product than something that may have major bugs in it :)

    Hi,

    I was just wondering if anyone could help me. I have installed the android app (v1.7) onto my samsung galaxy S4 mini (OS V4.4.2) and can't seem to find the "joystick" profile that is featured on your "8070 super car" promotional video. I have looked in the "Market" >> "All Profiles" space but it doesn't seem to be any of the ten profiles to choose from.

    Any help ion how to find and use the "joystick" profile on the android app would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Minor Issues Part 2 Clinometer Motor Inversion: I'm not sure if this forum is the correct place for this issue but while testing the Clinometer Function (which works awesome by the way), I found that the "invert" channel options for reversing motor direction are currently ineffective.

I now know that the first two control the red (dead) zone of movement before the motors engage, and the green (working) zone where the motors output can be varied from zero to maximum.  However I couldn't figure out what the third slider is for (I suspect it attempts to control device orientation) and whenever I tried changing its value from the default position my drive and steering went haywire (full throttle acceleration, Steering locked at full left turn). I'm not sure if this is a bug in the app or if I am just misusing the setting. However it would be great to change the orientation of my device so I could choose to control my vehicle in either "joystick" or "steering wheel" configurations.

Recently I have been using the standard "42042S Crawler Crane" profile to control this by assigning both acceleration and steering ports to the RH Joystick. This has previously been fine on both the Android App V1.7, and the current IOS App (on my Ipad Mini 2). Within V2.0 of the Android App I have found that acceleration works fine when I move the joystick to the 12 o'clock & 6 o'clock positions, and the steering fully engages when I move the joystick to the 3 o'clock & 9 o'clock positions. Now, however, I find that I am no longer able to accelerate at full speed and turn hard left/ right simultaneously by moving the joystick to the 1 - 2 o'clock, 3 - 4 o'clock, 7 - 8 o'clock, or 10 - 11 o'clock positions. Instead I find one or both of the functions cuts out depending on the joystick position
