Only thing I know of would be node MCU's that are cheap but would need 4 h-bridges and those included cost a bit more than 10 bucks, and have no brick compatible casing, but maybe i am mistaken?To be honest I do find sbricks a bit overpriced too, but I havn't found anything else suiting my needs that wont need days of soldering and programming. So I reccomend them even for my mocs.  less

Yet no matter how I export them (from the home screen or from the profile itself) when reimporting them I get:Error loading profile: Could not load image for image: file://profile/controls/image/background/3532bae9065f843ac9ac42190025ed352ce75a37.png. Network issue, or profile imported incorrectly. Try again later, or try deleting and re-importing the profile.It was working with one export I had made before but even that does not import anymore. Can you fix that, please, I have several people waiting for that very profile.  less

  Is it possible to dampen the output of a channel somehow? Especially if I quickly change the input, the output should change slowly. Usecase: I have some 3.5 kg Batmobile here, driven by 2x PF L-Motors and I even need to use the small 12 tooth gears. When it is driving at full speed and I reverse speed quickly (which may happen, as soon as I use a game controller), it puts enormous stress on all parts involved. (It broke off half of the teeth of a gear the other day, never seen that before) I'd like to reduce that stress by prohibiting speed reversals somehow. Buwizz and Mould King (I think) have that implemented because it is usefull for anything with a high inertia.Any ideas?  less

What you want is someone to breastfeed it to you.Not gonna happen! This is DIY country, so get your hands dirty like everyone else! LEGO is for makers not for puzzle-layers....it used to be before those stupid bricky mouse mosaiks anyway - sigh.

Since your step down is running below that you will not realize, your LIPO is going to die for good if you use the sbrick to check the charge. So get a LIPO discharge alarm or something...    less

I mean: There is a copy button which seems to do nothing, just loads for a second and then I see the same lonely profile again. Is it supposed to do something? Duplicate maybe? Would be awsome!There is an export function. Can I import one of these zips to a second profile in the designer maybe?I would like to tinker a bit (and trial and error me through your not documented circuit feature) without setting up the whole thing again in the first place. Please?

Have the problem on Firefox, Chrome and Edge, so must be on your side. Can you please fix this, its anoying to change your css or copy and paste the text into an editor, every time I need to read something.B) There is no documentation of your 'Circuit' feature, is it so new? When can we expect you to make one. I need to fix a mechanical steering problem and will need some more advanced programming than sequences, hope the cirquit is that kind of thing.I know this is quite demanding, sorry for that but - if I may be open - you sell premium priced products and I have an idea of the hardware costs since I soldered my previous controllers using similar chips as you do. And beeing on the marcket for years now, the mold of the housing should not be the reason either (I know they are expensinve to be made) So the software part is my only explanation for your...    less
