    Andreas Hinz Hi Fabrice,
    thanks for your response. What you see was just kind of first shot. But you're right this code can be improved.

  Fabrice Bovy: Hi Andreas,
  I saw your code for a toggle button, it is not a good idea to use a counter, it's better to use a bool that you initialize on the stage. See pictures and let me know what you think...

  keine Ahnung ob Dein Problem noch aktuell ist, habe deinen Post leider gerade erst gelesen. Ich habe den gleichen Controller. Das Ganze funktioniert nur, wenn du den Controller mit deinem Smartphone über Bluetooth verbindest. Wenn das geschehen ist, erkennt auch die App den Controller. 
  Zumindest hat das bei meinem S9 tadellos funktioniert.

  I just recognized the same problem as Cregory Carr, concerning the connection of my PS4 controller to the sBrick app (not EDU but the "normal" one). My intention was to control one motor with the two gamepad triggers. One for the forward direction and one for the backward direction (like in most of the racing games). But I learned that this is not possible, cause I didn't succeed in connecting two sliders to one port. Did you find any possibilty to realize such kind of profile in the meantime?

  Here's another question from my side concerning the sliders:
  Right now it seems, as if there is no response from the slider concerning the event "Drag End" or "Drag Start". Anyone to share his experience about this question?

  I just started to test the beta and from the very beginning there are a lot of questions. First of all, I have some experience in writing code in VB and VBA, so I'm quite familiar with the logic of programming. Right now I just started with a simple profile containing just one button which should switch on a motor. When pressed again the motor should be switched off (see photo).
  So my question is, is it planned for the future to implement such behaviour (simple toggle) as a kind of standard behaviour? What I mean is, when adding a button control, you can adjust the behaviour of this button directly while placing it on the screen? Same question for sliders and other controls.

    Lénárd Pásztor What I want to implement is that when you drop a new control to the stage there will be a "ready to use" code for it in the code section, so you won't need to program if you like to use a simple control with basic functionality.

  Did anyone experience problems while trying to connect the edu app on an iPad Air 2 (iOS 13.3) to an sBrick plus? When I try I always see the window shown in the photograph.
  But neither the link is helpful (there you can find the drivers to use scratch on your pc) nor the button (doesn't work).
  
  Anyone any ideas?

Do you need any further information in order to give access to these two app versions? Also I would like to know. whether it will be possible to use the designed profiles on both devices?
  
  Thanks in Advance for your response.

  here's another question concerning the actual sBrick app. Does anybody have any experience using an Android smartphone? When using the motion sensor or the tilt sensor my Samsung Galaxy S9 does not receive any signals from those sensors.
  Using my iPad Air 2 everything works fine. But in my opinion this should not be the solution, as when using my PS4 gamepad I would prefer to use a small smartphone instead of a big iPad.

    Lénárd Pásztor Thanks for reporting this. I've forwarded it to the developers. We are working a fix with the current SBrick app and this issue is on the changelist.

    Lénárd Pásztor so you are using the same profile on android and iOS? what is the profile ID?

    • March 2, 2020
  • 
    Andreas Hinz Hi Lenard,
    thanks for your response. Until now I did not create a profile which uses the sensor signals. I just checked the sBrick ports by using the integrated default profile which appears when clicking the concerning sBrick in the sBrick list.

    Lénárd Pásztor clear. Thanks!

  I have posted my question already at the contact form of the sbrick website several days ago, but until now there was no respond. I bought two sBricks and right now I am testing the possibilities of programming and so on.
  When surfing the www I found several announcements for a new sBrick smartphone app containing also a profile designer. Does anybody know when this app will be launched?
