  Fabrice Bovy → Coding app beta test: I have a strange behavior when creating a project on iPad and open it from Windows.
  I had to remove all hubs then add them again and reconfigure all virtual ports.
  
  Is it a normal behavior ?

  • 
    Lénárd Pásztor yes, the iPadOS fakes the hw address of the hub, so it is always changeing so we not save it.

  However, the "When distance sensor value change" is fired correctly.

  I made some simple tests with the new SBrick Light and I find a bug...
  When I use 2 buttons to trigger set color X in Y seconds on 2 different ports (H and G):
  - Button on port H set color green in 5 seconds
  - Button2 on port G set color red in 5 seconds.
  When I click on Button, the led on port H shades on green but when I click on Button2 before it ends, I mean before the 5 seconds, the led on port G shades on red and the led on port H turns to green with orange...
  When I do the opposite, click on Button2 then on Button, the led on port G turns off and the les on port H shades to green correctly.
  However, if I wait for the 5 seconds, everything works perfectly.
  Hope my explanation is clear enough  less

    Marek Klajman Whatever I try, it looks that it´s not possible to have two slider with different settings to control one motor. I would like to have one slider to control extending boom together with unwinding rope. But also have another slider to control rope drum separatly.

    • April 20, 2021
  • 
    Lénárd Pásztor I see that you update the motor status from multiple loops, so this is why it is not working. You need to modify your code to make sure that the motor receiving value from one slider at a time.

    Marek Klajman I´ve find solutions, I´m not using slider, but buttons - not that clean solutions as I thought, but it´s working. If you will find time to try, please show me what you mean.

  I have a question when using the "infrared transmitter".
  Is it normal that the output stops when I hide the transmitter (color sensor on PoweredUp hub) ? Does that mean there is a permanent IR link ? Not like with the Lego controller which just send an "impulse".
  To demonstrate this, I used 2 IR receiver with 1 transmitter, I run a motor on port A receiver 1, when I run another motor on port A receiver 2, the first motor stops. It is not possible to have both running at the same time.
  Another point, even with the application stopped, it seems that the IR link is still present : the led is flashing on the IR receiver and stops when I hide the transmitter (color sensor on PoweredUp hub).  less

    Lénárd Pásztor yes, this is a permanent IR link, I think the LEGO ir remote does the same too.
