My first SBrick arrived today, so, here' just a few "I think it would be nice to have this"-remarks after 1,5 hours of playing with it.
1. It would be nice to have kind of "suggestions" for channel, when editing control. Maybe, a drop-down with all previously entered channel names in a current profile or something like this. I've tried to give channels some "self-explainatory" names for channels, that are shared between several controls, and I need constantly switch back and forth between controls to see "what was the name".
2. Possibly not a Designer-only question, but "Designer+App" issue. For some applications it might be useful to have one physical SBrick port assigned to several "Channels" in profile. It's possible now to somewhat replace absence of this using "Sequence", but only for "pre-defined sequences", not something like slider controls. What this could be used for: imagine two engines (f.e. of some aircraft). Now you can individually throttle each (by giving them different channels for each port) or throttle them simultaneously (giving them one channel and add two ports to it). What I can't do, is to have three sliders - "Engine 1", "Engine 2" and "Engine 1+2", as one port on SBrick couldn't be added to 2 different channels.
3. +1 to Label control and regular (with defineable step, like "line every 50px") grid with snap to it.
4. Some numeric indicator of "what's output to specific channel now". Will be useful for debugging/testing complex structures, depending on actual rotation velocity.
P.S. Just forgot about something:
5. It would be nice to be able to type-in values for "rotation", "zero points" etc. not only on third tab (manual settings), but on "control settings" tab too.
Best regards.
