Does SBrick care about polarity or just the voltage difference accross the terminals on the bottom of the brick right? Operation between 0 and minus 9v is same as operation between 0 and plus 9v is same but the motors rotate different directions right?

  Is the SBrick protected against the application of reverse polarity?

  I now have port testing working on iPhone 6 ios 8.1.2
  I think when you delete the SBrick app from the phone some data remains and is used when you re-install the SBrick app. Is this true?

  I can drive my skid steer technic toy around with the port testing sliders and it is much fun.
  Cant seem to get the joystick to work on the iPhone 6 but it works well on the iPhone 4s.

  I am playing with my new Brick in an office setting with many bluetooth devices in the environment. Could this be my problem or a part of my problem connecting to the SBrick?
  
  
  I'll try at home later where I can silence other bluetooth traffic.

  Tried restarting iphone 6 and tried with iPad mini running 8.1.2. 
  
  
  Both still cycling to "lost connection-retry"
  
  
  I have been powering the iPhone or iPad off then on. Then starting SBrick app, then powering up SBrick, Then loading profile in SBrick app. Is this the best or recommended sequence?
  
  
  And say shouldn't' you asleep now?
