  where I can get some support for the programming an SBrick.
  I have realized backup light and a stop light, after long testing that now works.
  My question is how I can combine a Taillight with the stop light function. I will the Taillight bright 50% and the stop light funktion bright 100%. For the stop light function I have a Squence that activate the light for 5 Seconds.
  Did you have an answer for me or you can forward this request to one of your coworkers.
  Thanks,
  Stefan

  I am using sbricks for a while now and I am generally satisfied, but I wonder why my iPad2 will never connect to an sbrick. I normally use my iPhone 4, which works fine. The iPad always tells me to "activate bluetooth", even when it is already active. I tried to reinstall the app, no use. I tried to discover the sbricks on the OS settings, but they don't show up. My bluetooth works, at least with my EV3 brick. Restarting the iPad makes no difference, either. The two sbricks in my current model are stated to be "hardware 5, firmware 18".
  What can I do to make it work?

  Dear Nikolaus, 
  We have not experienced an issue like that with the Ipad2 before. 
  Does work properly with your other bluetooth tools? This problem rather sounds like that there is a problem with the bluetooth in the Ipad. 
  Could you check any other tools or devices whether it connects just with the SBrick or not?
  Thanks,

  Dear Balint,
  Thanks for your answer.
  I made some test on another laptop and I was partly successful.
  The system is the same (win7), I just noticed that BLED112 used COM3 and on my laptop it was COM4 (COM3 is already used).
  The connection is not solid, I sometimes have to restart windows to reconnect to SBrick+ again. 
  Generally I successfully connected motors but no sensors yet. As I followed other topics, this is a different problem (are they still not supported in my configuration?).
  Regards,
  Paweł
   
  
  Dear Pawel, 
  Please try out our windows plugin, that you can find here, http://sbrick.dewsys.com/windriverDev/install/install.php 
   
  This is our official plugin, while the S2Bot is independent from us, it is not our application, so we cannot guarantee that the SBrick works perfectly with it. 
   
  So, we ask you to check the plugin, whether it is a good answer for your mentioned issue. 
   
  If you need any help, please contact us again! 
   
  Have a nice day,

  I see! Yes, that is right. The app is for Android. 
  To control your Lego creations you can use your laptop through Scratch.

  Hi,
  Apologies if these ideas have been raised before.
  Is it possible to have controls that influence the behaviour of other controls within the profile? As a train builder I would find it helpful to have a slider control for the throttle that operates with the range 0 to 1 and a seperate switch that acts as a reverser to modify the slider's output to give a reverse function. At the moment I'm having to operate with two sliders, one for each direction, in order to overcome the problem of finding the 0 point on a single slider with the range of -1 to 1.
  Also, can more control types be added? I'm thinking of a multi-position rotary switch with a user-defined number of positions that could be assigned to multiple ports for control of lights, for example.
  Many thanks.
  
  Dear Hod, 
  Unfortunately it is not possible yet. :( 
  Maybe in the future, but it is in questions.

  Greetings fellow SBrickers.
  I've got a stupid question to ask, the answer to which is probably obvious. My problem is that I have no understanding of electronics whatsoever, so I thought it would be a sensible idea to ask rather than assume.
  When the SBrick is regulating the output for each port, is it regulating the voltage or something else? So for example, with a 9V supply the SBrick would give an output of 0-9V where the profile parameters for the relevant control are set at 0 and 1. So if I wanted, say, a 0-4.5V output range do I simply set the output parameters at 0 and 0.5?
  Thanks. :o)
  
   
  Dear Hod, 
  Yes, the parameters are work like that. :) 
  And if you set the value to -1, it will be the same, just in reverse. 
  We hope this help you!

  I have a simple profile with 2 sequences.  Each sequence has 2 channels (sequence 1 = front left + rear left and sequence 2 = front right + rear right).  I can activate each sequence without any problem, but when I activate both at the same time, the app crashes.  Sometimes it crashes within one second, sometimes it crashes after 8+ seconds, but it always crashes eventually.  So I hope it's easy to debug, since I can easily reproduce the problem, at least with my profile.

  Dear Matt, 
  The only thing you have to do is to connect both of the SBricks to a battery, than when you set the ports you will see both of the SBricks.
