  With the recent release of Lego BrickQ Motion set, I was wondering if we could add to some ramp and shooter models a Sbrick Plus with two motion/distance sensors (wedo) in order to create a measurement corridor and therefore calculate acceleration (how quickly a ball or "brick" lowers the ramp, how fast goes from stopped to reach 15 cm for instance).
  Or in a wind vehicle, measuring angular velocity; correlation to the propeller crossing in front of the sensor as a pseudo tachometer.
  For these challenges, Could you tell us what might be the limit on the hardware to read a value correctly?, also if this can be possible to do in Scratch2 + S2bot gateway, or might be better to type code in phyton, c in another environment, to be quicker, give us some examples.

  Hi, Can you publish the schematics in pdf format?

  SBrick Plus + Microbit. Extension in Phyton

  It is published an extension block for Makecode. Can we have a set of files that we could add to the computer and start later instructions in phyton, typing these in simple editors like Mu or Microsoft visual code?
  Can we have a document explaining which files must he have, where should they be colocated on windows folders structure, and later the set of functions, parameters that we could use to control sensors and motors?
   
  Also would be nice to explain in the document maybe as an appendix, what is happening in the four pins C1, C2, GND, V; for each of the instructions defined in the document and the hub itself. If it is a read value on pin C1, a pwm cicle, ... BLE connection, temperature, or battery consumption (voltage, current).

  SBrick Plus + Geekservo motors, and analog sensors

  Hi,
   
  Could we connect the Geekservo range of Lego compatible servos (270º, 360º) and dc motors to the SBrick Plus hub, by some kind of adaptor box in between?

  Could we connect the Geekservo range of Lego compatible servos (270º, 360º) and dc motors to the SBrick Plus hub, by some kind of adaptor box in between? 
  If possible in the future, Do you think it might be a way to define that in one of the four ports we have one of the five types of motors of this manufacture, or the pf Lego originals, in order to adapt the voltages and pwm cycles? and later type some open code in python to define this kind of product, creating a generic class for dc motors, servos, an extended class, or parameters specific for each model.
   
  Also, based on these investigations https://ofalcao.pt/blog/2014/the-lego-wedo-tilt-sensor  https://ofalcao.pt/blog/2014/lego-wedo-temperature-sensor,  
  Do you think we could have the possibility to also add other kinds of sensors to the SBrickPlus creating a class that could represent them, translating the analog readings into valued data?

  Has anyone figured out how to create a controller profile to drive 4 mecanum wheels yet?

I actually think I may have figured it out tonight. I bought a PS4 controller and connected it to the app BrickController2 on my iPhone. Then I was able to specify what motors spin a specific direction for each joystick axis and created the correct combinations to move the way I want. Here's a diagram of the way you cans each motor needs to turn to create movement in each direction. https://www.vexforum.com/uploads/default/original/2X/c/c7963dec531b7e893ddcf91c4fc9159928c4b56c.jpeg
    I'll try and get some video showing the movement and how the controller controls it and once I'm really happy with it I can screenshot the settings in case other people want to do it.  less

    Jesse Here's a video showing the bot I made in action. It's being controlled by a PS4 controller through my iPhone running Brickcontroller2... and standard PF motors plugged into an sBrick receiver. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VUzNrJ3X-w
