  Mykola Pokhylets I wanted to use joystick to control two motors in a "tank" mode. I started to write a suggestion for this, but then realised this is already possible - you just need to rotate the joystick 45 degrees.

And eliminated mechanical issues, which could lead to motors being stuck. With iPhone 7+ (now upgraded to 14.4.2) problem starts at about 5-7m, and gets worse with larger distance. With iPhone 12 (iOS 14.4.1) it starts at about 15-20 meters.

Repeated this a good dozen of times. Not periodic- sometimes it was working fine for about 30s, sometimes becoming unavailable right after becoming available. I’m not sure what is happening there, would appreciate some help with troubleshooting.
  
  My setup: 3 medium motors on channels A,C,D. Motors on C and D are used for movement and work almost all the time. Motor on A operates a manipulator is off most of the time. I’ve forgot to order the cable, so as a workaround I connected original IR receiver to the battery box, and put SBrick on top of the connector. No commands were sent to the IR receiver.
