There would be as many different Pictures as possible associated with each indicator where each picture is assigned a value. I would also like to have multiple indicator controls.

    The indicator could only be activated by a sequence command. When the sequence command sets the appropriate value that picture shows up on the screen.

    With a control like this the indicator could show where in a sequence the program is or when a particular sequence is completed. There are many places where I could use a control like this.

    Don’t hesitate to ask if you want a better explanation.  less

    I would like a new type of programmable on/off control that would have one program associated with turning it on and another when turning it off.

    When the button is pressed the ON commands would run and the button would stay on. When the control is turned off the OFF commands would run.

    The control could be used in the following way. Suppose there were multiple 3 position switches. To do a function some would be set Up, some down and others would remain in the neutral position. After the user finished with a function all switches should return to neutral. With this control that would be easy. Only the buttons not in neutral would be set. Without this control every button would have to be set every time. Some in neutral others in other positions. (I want the control for the Mercedes Benz Argos 3245 42043)

    Thanks.  less

    Modifications - I apologize if some of these suggestions have already been mentioned

    Pictures on background - Allow for jpgs to be added on top of backgrounds in design phase.

    Text on background - Allow for text to be added on top of backgrounds in design phase.

    Dual Rates - Presently there is only one set of initialization data for a control (slider or joystick). It would be great if there was a linked switch with 2 or more positions for multiple settings. Position 1 would automatically fill in with the data from the slider itself and be greyed out when the link is made to the slider (or joystick). For position 2 or 3 the user could enter additional initialization data. To make programming easier for the developers the rule should be that as soon as a control is no longer in the initialization state the dual rate switch associated with that control is greyed out.
    A switch like this would very useful when 'getting acquainted' with a model or letting a new person try playing with it.

    Joystick
    Presently with a servo for steering I find when I move the joystick straight up or down the model still turns slightly.
    is it possible to add a start variable where no data is transmitted if the stick is within +/- from the zero point of that value. When going forward or backward no data would be sent to the servo until the stick passed the entered value. That way if you have a 'nervous' finger you could still go straight without any steering movement.

A switch like this would very useful when 'getting acquainted' with a model or letting a new person try playing with it. Visible/Hidden switch - Option 1 - when the switch is in the visible position the control can be seen. Otherwise it is Hidden Option 2 - Same as Option 1 except multiple controls are associated to the switch. Option 3 - Instead of calling position 1 Visible and 2 Hidden lets just call it Position 1 and Position 2. Have a control listed under each position. If the switch is in position 1 the control under it is visible and the control under position 2 is hidden. If the switch is put into position 2 then the control under that poison is visible and the control under position 1 is hidden. Option 4 - Same as Option 3 but there would be multiple controls under each button position. Use - Sometimes the user may want to use a joystick and other times sliders. Or other times, especially if the control is handed to another person you may not want to perform certain functions. Sensitivity around center for joysticks. - Useful but complicated to program. For info on the topic refer to any RC airplane/helicopter transmitter manual. (Futaba, Spectrum Etc) Put Program/profile on home screen - It would be nice if you could put the sbrick app and desired profiles on the home screen. That way you could go straight to a particular model. Present app Operator Menu Option - There should be an option to let the user see a list of profiles and then to go directly to that profile without giving the edit option. Presently, unless I am doing something wrong, it takes multiple presses to access a profile.
