  Thanks, NXT 45 R,
  that looks really good.
  I'll give it a go.
  Now, for your next challenge, can you make the slider reset to its 'zero' position when the reset button is pressed? :)

  thanks for whatever hard work you have been doing in the background.
   
  I tried assigning both a slider and a button to a single port, to try to achieve my goal of a non-auto-zero slider that could be reset (i.e. switched off) by using the button - just like the RESET button in the port tester.
  I failed :(
  I've tried a range of possible solutions (thanks NXT 45 R and others) but nothing seems to work.
  Since it is quite clearly possible to achieve this (just look at how the port tester does it), would it be possible to allow the same functionality in the Profile Designer, please?
  Thanks in advance.

  PS should I be putting this request in a different part of the forum?  less

  UPDATE:
  tried uninstalling then re-installing.
  app crashes when you log-in to marketplace.
  re-start app and you are logged in.
  Still no profiles appearing for me - even though they are clearly visible in Profile Designer and have only been edited since they were last used successfully after initial release of PD.
  Thanks for ongoing support.

  I would like to have a slider that does not auto-reset when you take your finger off it, but that can be turned OFF by use of a RESET button. This button will also reset the slider to the desired 'ZERO' position.
  I hope that, since this feature has already been programmed in to the SBrick app , this shouldn't be too difficult to transfer across to the Profile Designer...
  Could someone respond a let me know if my request is:
  a) reasonable
  b) possible
  c) likely to happen in the near future, please?
  This would allow me to set the speed of a motor and release the slider, and then switch it OFF when desired. At present it is nearly impossible to manually slide the slider to the exact position where the motor turns OFF and no signal is sent to the motor.
   
  Many thanks

  My instinct tells me that 'Start Point' is where the slider is first positioned when you use the profile, and 'Zero Point' is the position that gives 'zero' output (i.e. 'OFF').
  I think that there is no 'dead zone' at the Zero Point, so I really need a 'Reset' button - just like the one used in the Port Tester. (So, there must already be two control functions that control the same port in the Port Tester. One is a slider and the other is the 'Reset' button)
  Is it possible to provide the same 'Reset' button in the Profile Designer, please? You have already made them for the Port Tester, so can they be made available in the Profile Designer?
   
  Thanks in advance.

  I have no idea why I cannot add a background picture from within SBRICK app - nobody has yet suggested why this bug exists.
  As for the Auto-Reset...
  I don't want the slider to automatically return to the centre position because I want to be able to leave the motor running at whatever speed I choose. I do, however, want to be able to turn the motor 'OFF'. Using the slider does not actually turn the motor OFF, it just stops turning but it still receives a signal (and makes a horrible noise!).
  What I'd like is a RESET button, like in the Port Tester, which will turn OFF the motor completely (and, in an ideal world, reset the slider to zero).
   
  Other issues:
  SBRICK app always crashes and shuts down on first log-in. Re-opening the app brings trhe app back (logged in). Will TESTFLIGHT pick all these things up automatically?
   
  Thanks in advance for any guidance.

  Two issues:
  1. Still cannot select background image. I get offered 'Camera' and 'Photo library', but selecting either of these does not take me to camera or photo library. The menu for the choices simply disappears.
  2. Is there a 'reset' button available in Profile Designer, like in the port tester, please? I have a simple slider that does not 'Auto reset' (so you can take finger off ipad and motor still runs) but would like motor to turn off 'properly' when required. Sliding the slider to the middle doesn't actually turn off the motor - it just makes a whining noise without turning.
   
  Many thanks so far for the Profile Designer.

  just connected to SBrick (after 4 or 5 attempts).
  Can I please ask:
   
  Do I need to have 'Indicator LED' switched 'ON' for SBrick to work?
  How do I add custom image to profile? When I select 'Camera' or 'Photo' there is no response from the app (Ipad Mini ios 8.1). Is this feature enabled?
  How do I make a custom profile to drive a single motor? I only want to vary the speed of a motor, and not have the joystick/control 'spring' back to zero when released. All i want it a simple 'power' slider. Is there such a simple profile, or do I have to wait until the profile editor is released before I can create one?
   
  Many thanks in advance.
