SBrick Android App in the forum
Support
I found the dropbox link under https://social.sbrick.com/members/home and announcements.
I have just tested both the Profile Designer and the latest Android App. Even the version is still 0.41, it is new. I guess the reason the version no. is not changed has something to do with the fact that it is not avavilable at play store yet (and why they make available a separate link). I uninstalled my previously installed SBrick App, and installed this one.
Even there is still some stability issues, I am able to make my own profile from my laptop and use it on my Samsung S4. Even it was a very simple test, it worked very well. I didnt experience any delay in the control, the control of my little teest car is way more accurate and faster than that with LEGO remote.
The major remaining issues, as I see it:
- Stability, the App looses connection with the SBrick very often when I am doing something in the App. However, once a profile is started, I can drive for a long period of time without loss of connection. So it is more like very irritating, rather than a show stopper. What I do in such situations, is that I stop the app, turn off the power to the SBrick, start the app, turn on the SBrick. This procdure works almost every time.
- Joystick control doesnt work yet.
- A very limited selection of controls are available in the designer yet.
I have not tried with several SBricks yet, but I will do so later.
Thanks for good progress! This is looking promising, and I am confident that we will get more the coming weeks.
