    It has a very small chance that the SBrick will be "bricked" by OTA :) The OTA image contains a checksum, and the SBrick boot firmware checks it before flashing. Of course you can fail so hard that the checksum will be OK, but there is little chance for it.

    I don't think a correct checksum will result in "bricked" SBricks....just a powerfail during flashing ( not uploading ) the firmware is the critical timeslot. So every firmware related update process tells you not to pull the powerplug during update - but as we are running batteries it could be a problem if the voltage is low. ;-)
    But I think flashing the device will be done < 1 sec. - so not that big issue.

    I can confirm that all issues I had before are solved:
    - connection without problem after 1. disable and enable bluetooth, 2. restart app
    - LED identification works ( blinking )
    - sets where lost, created new...  more

    - profiles didn't had sliders anymore, downloaded the same again
     
    New issues:
    - old "broken" profiles are still shown and have similar names to the new ones

    Ok, had no time this morning - so I will check it today. Thanks for the reply. But these little things should be displayed after firmware update, because we - the first testers - know how to fix these problems or at least know how to get help but the "normal" endusers will be disapointed using a problematic bluetooth gadged like this. I think they should also get a small note like "check you batteries before firmware update" - so they don't run into a bricked SBrick ( if that can happen - I didn't tried it ).
    Happy Development. ;-)

    Just saw the new version of iOS app 3.2 and made a quick test before driving to work. :-)
    - LED is on...but how to identify the SBrick if it's allways lit?
    - 100% bug fixed
    - connecting bug...  more

    - firmware update bug fixed...but SBrick doesn't work anymore after firmware update! Connection is still fine.
     
    Will do more tests today - especially I will check the non working SBrick after firmware update. Didn't tried software restart so far.
