  sbrick pro downloads

  Hello
  I am using the beta sbrick pro app on windows. I would like to use it on android too, but AFAIK the download link below has stopped working
  https://download.sbrick.com/sbrickpro/
  Does anyone have the relevant file for android they can share with me?

I have a problem with some code I've written which works on my desktop PC but doesn't work when I run the same program on my android phone. It's very simple - I use the Smart Motor Position Reset block to set the position of a smart motor to zero when a linear actuator is full retracted. Then I use Smart Motor set Position to set the motor to position 500 - which means the linear actuator is fully extended. If I then use Set Position to 0 the actuator retracts. This works perfectly on my PC, but when I run the program on my Android Phone there's a problem: the Set Position to 0 command doesn't work. The motor does nothing. The Set Position to 500 DOES work, but Set Position to Zero doesn't work. Any thoughts on that?!?!  less

I want to have a slider for steering but for it to have a RANGE. I am using a smart motor with rotation sensor so it should be possible to have the steering slider stop working if it senses its out of range? However it seems to only evaluate the IF function when the slider is first moved, not continually. Does that make sense? Image attached. Thanks!

    Lénárd Pásztor You can connect it as a "smart" motor then you can use the calibration block for that.

  I've downloaded the SbrickPro app on my Android phone and I can use the app on my PC. It's a Beta, but is it actually functional? E.g. can it control hubs, make and run code and actually be used to do stuff? (barring any bugs)
  Can the SbrickPro Android app control a control+ hub?
  Thanks!

  The reason I retained the 9v battery box was precisely so I could use the switch to reverse the polarity and run the motors back and forth directly without the sbrick for the purposes of testing.
  Plus - the 9v box has some sort of current limiting do-dad inside it and I was advised to retain it to prevent blowing up the sbrick and/or motors. Having actually looked inside the box however I'm not it has one - there's not much on the PCB at all.
  I will reverse the polarity and see what happens - thanks.

  Powering SBrick from a 9v Power Supply

  Hello all
  I've run into a problem with my sbrick. I had planned to power my model from a 9v mains power supply, hacked into a LEGO 9v battery box. See the picture at the link below.

  However it doesn't work. The light on the sbrick doesn't go on when I attach it to the power supply.
  The sbrick DOES work. I can power it off batteries and the light comes on and it works. Also the PSU does let me power my motors directly, so that definitely works too!
  Does anyone know what it could be that my sbrick doesn't like about the PSU? 
  Thanks!
