    Paolo DGZ i have some questions about powering Sbrick From non lego batteries, if I put power From the 9v style part of the wire is possible that mistaking the polarity the sbrick will break? And there are current and voltage limitation? What are they?

      and

      It may break. max voltage ~11 Volt. Max current: 3A per channel, 6A whole SBrick (internal protection).

      Paolo DGZ Thank you so much! I hope SBrick team will male some battery boxes with a 3A thermal protection instead of the 750ma lego one

      Jorge Pereira The SBrick has thermal protection, with the new firmware (soon to be released) it's even possible to define the threshold, I'm planning to make my stress tests again and reading the temperature to see what's happening.

There are commercial LiPo batteries with overcurrent protection, you just need to choose the right one, cut the cable and solder a LEGO PF plug instead (my stress teste were made with a plane R/C battery, just 1500 mAh capacity but 37.5A maximum current... the SBrick worked fine up to 5.8Am then internal protection cut off power to the motors).  less

      Paolo DGZ The problem is that my lipo are too powerful,you should try To make tests with 3S liFe, They have 9,9V current, it could be perfect
      • February 3, 2015
    • Paolo DGZ
      Jorge Pereira Yes, 9.9 would be perfect. But there aren't much RC Shops near me, the best I got was a LiCoO2 2S (7.2V). But that doesn't affect the current measurements, just the total power/torque applied to the motors. If you don't pass the 3A, you could add some...  moreYes, 9.9 would be perfect.

If you don't pass the 3A, you could add some 1N5001 diodes between the LiFe and the SBrick, each diode drops 0.6~0.7 V and withstands 3A (for long periods you should use it with a heatsink).

      Jorge Pereira Couldn't find a LiFe battery so took a 3S LiCoO2 11.1V/1300 mAh. Assured with voltmeter it was less than 11.8V before connecting my SBrick. Got 2.3A in one port and 7.3A total, and more it's still possible... but I don't think you want more than 70ºC...  moreCouldn't find a LiFe battery so took a 3S LiCoO2 11.1V/1300 mAh.

    when I was only a child I wonder about radio controlled lego (there was only the rc unit) thanks sbrick team to make this dream true! i'm waitng to buy one or try to win one in the next contest :3

    ...and sorry for my poor english :'(

  • Federico Graziola Ciao a tutti, oggi ho provato a riutilizzare il mio lego provvisto di sbrick dopo 2 mesi di inattività, ma quello che è successo è davvero strano: ho disinstallato l'app e installata di nuovo senza alcun risultato perché? Semplice quando accendo lo sbrick e attivo l' app lo sbrick mi fa fare solo una cosa, ovvero: radiotelecomandare il lego o modificare le porte o visualizzare il pannello di controllo dello sbrick, se oso fare qualsiasi altra cosa dopo aver fatto una qualsiasi cosa prima lo sbrick si scollega, tutto si risolve spegnendo l' app e riaprendola, ma il valzer si ripete, ho aggiornato lo sbrick ma nessun risultato .... io non mi documento da un po', ma mi sembra una cosa abbastanza strana, cosa mi consigliate? (lo sbrick ha assunto un nuovo codice, colore e forma nell' app sia nella vecchia che in quella nuova)

    in the topic possibility of a vengit-made battery? in the forum Suggestions
    Disclaimer, i only own an sbrick, not a buwizz,and this post is about batteries, even if i talk about buwizz as an incentive to vengit to make a moveSo here the main issue: in the challenge buwizz VS sbrick there is one big difference: ludicrous mode and full space required (battery box + sbrick is a lot bigger than a buwizz), both caused by the use of an internal 3s lipo battery from the buwizz receiver. For all advanced lego user we know that lego battery boxes are an huge limitation, first of all for these characteristics:- 9V max voltage- 250mah current limiter (new AA battery boxes have a better one but sometime it's not enough)- excessive weight, both AA and AAA battery boxes have and high weight from the alkaline/nimh batteries- super expensive lipo version, with old current limiter and not technic friendly size, and still 7.4Vjust for the sake of experimenting i modified an old broken 9V connector to use a 7.4V 180mah lipo battery this battery comes at a price of 4€ each to the public (even if batches are always at discount on hobbywing and cost 4€ 5pcs), it was able to support a buggy motor and a servo motor for almost 10minutes of driving, even on rough terrain.all this to suggest vengit one good move: a custom rechargeable battery box, that should be very compact, under the 50€ price-tag, with usb recharge and PF compatible port (the lego one is currently 140€, discontinued from the official lego and needs an external charger)i know nothing about industrial production, but this is basically a power bank for lego, and could sell also to non-sbrick user due to the huge advantage that it provides and the reliability of the vengit mark. in addition to this it will also fill the gap between buwizz and sbrick where the latter is currently ahead only for the awesome support and easy control customization (lacking the all-in one solution and bonus power from buwizz)

    I think that before making a full studless edition (impossible to fit into trains or studded static mocs) vengit should find a way to fit all The lego wire end, The one that power The sbrick, into The case, lowering also the connector hole so The bottom of the sbrick Will look The same of The IR receiver

      Balint Mezei said: Hi! Our developers checking the issue as soon as possible. Thank you for the report. Please try to restart your phone maybe it will solve the problem. After every FW update you should restart it. Regards, Balint Mezei - SBrick Team from the 1.6.1 ap i saw that the hardwere is the 4.3 and the softwere the 4.3, it works but not really good (the profile joystick look a little bit oval and button output values seems not to work) but when i download the newer app and i click on "sbricks" it does not show mine also if it is paired and works with the older one before (i have disistalled it). now i'm trying with my ipod 5th gen     EDIT with the 3.13 build 509 app on my ipod all works great, i think the problem is in the in-app pairing method of the android version This post was edited by Paolo DGZ at March 16, 2016 5:32 PM CET

    That could appear a way To solve The problem, but the joystick travel on a square area and to rotate it result in having some deadpoints At the angle and so At full forward and backward because is difficult To drive and To remember to keep the finger on the joystick area. That skid steer option maybe isn't mandatory, but after it will better the control experience

    in the topic Profile Designer Suggestions in the forum Suggestions
    i think that there is an important features to add: -SKID STEER JOYSTICK explaining my idea: one of the most difficult things to do with lego remotes is to control tracks with a joystick.like remote, i think that joysticks in the profile editor should have a setting to "allow skid steer" so they work mixing channel, full up means channel left and right (not called steering and accelerator) full forward; top right means left channel full forward and full right means left channel full forward and right channel full backward this could be really useful to control tracked veichle with one finger
