It will be so much good that we have a application on PC to do this, connect, create a profil and play with any controller connected to the PC !

It's a switch button for switch into two functions : redlights and low beam. I use leds so I wish a button who will do that : On = + - , Off = - +. Inverse polarities can switch two leds functions and bring more reality and space on the background. Of course, I imagine that I will maybe the only one who ask it but I hope you will understand me and give me a reply Best regards

    Tamás Fábián Hello Maxime, I think I know what you'd like to achieve.

You can connect two LEDs antiparallel (with appropriate resistors) and power them from the C1/C2 lines of the power functions port (the two "middle" wires of the 4-wire power functions cable). There is no 3-way switch in the profile designer, but you can work around that by using a slider, so you can send "forward", "halt", and "backward" commands. The "halt" of course means dark LEDs, the "forward" and "backward" status only differs in polarity.
    
    I hope this is helpful,

    It may look expensive for the first time, but if you make some "research" you realize that it’s not. We set the price to the Lego power function IR receiver. If you want to use 4 functions at the same time, you need 2 IR receiver and one Lego remote controller which price nearly equals one SBrick’s price… but the SBrick has 4 output ports
    
    And there are some important differences between the IR receiver and the SBrick as well:
    - SBrick uses Bluetooth technology, instead of Infrared (IR)
    - The SBrick works perfectly in sunlight
    - SBrick can reach more than 50 meters range
    - You can create your own personalized remotecontrol interface thanks for the designer.sbrick.com
    - The SBrick smaller than IR receiver, so you can hide it easier in your creation  less

    We work and develop the SBrick continuously. Few important things which will be available in the next few months:
    - SBrick will be programmed.
    - We work on a new LEGO battery which will be compatible with SBrick
    - You will be able to control the SBrick by PC, OSX, game controllers and your phone's or tablet’s sensors as well.
    - And we have many other cool plans  less

    I think you can also use a speaker with low (bass) frequencies but will have to wait for the App function to use pre-defined waves. But a speaker usually has only 8 Ohm internal impedance... with 9V from SBrick you will have to use a 10 Watt (or more) speaker or add a resistor to reduce current.

    Unfortunately the PWM can not be altered. Yet. If I'll have the time I'm gonna take a look at the HW and probably implement a PWM freq setup command. I don't see why we couldn't cover 2-3 octaves  less
