    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.

    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.

    Just tried to update a profile (following NXT 45 R's suggestion), but was unable to do so on my ipad mini, even though I could see the changes I had made on my computer using the Profile Designer.
    Re-installed SBrick (3.6, build 158) app via Testflight (ios 8.1.2, ipad Mini).
    usual crash after first log-in.
    re-started app.
    tried to 'add profile' - was prompted to 'Log In' - but no profiles now visible for me!
    I have Profile Designer open on my PC and can see the profile I have made (and was using until 20 minutes ago).
    On my ipad I get the message 'You haven't got custom profiles yet. use the profile designer at.......'
    So, thoroughly confused now and have taken a backwards step with my SBrick.
    Please can someone advise on what I might have done wrong?
    many thanks.  less

    Could I please request a 'RESET' button for the Profile Designer - just like the one used for the Port Tester in the SBrick app?
    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

    Thanks for the suggestions, Fernando.

    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.

    Thanks, NXT45R.
    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.

    Hi,
    just updated (via TestFlight, Ipad mini, ios 8.1.2) and have just uploaded my simple profile.
    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.

      As a Kickstarter backer of several campaigns, I'm more than aware of how time suddenly races by as deadlines approach, and release dates are continually being pushed back.
      The key thing with Kickstarter (and any business, for that matter) is that you keep your backers (and customers) informed and updated. That way it is seen that communication channels are open and that the company/individual hasn't just disappeared off the face of the earth!
      Whilst I may seem impatient to get my hands on the Profile Designer, this is purely due to my interest and enthusiasm...

    Hi,
    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.
