Sangdo Lee said: Hi... A package of SBRICK arrived last week... While testing it on my lego racinging car. I have several problems regarding SBRICK compatability. Most of all... I cannot upgrade firmware version! Using android app... when I tried to upgrade the firmware... nothing happened but a message. Can you show me how to update the firmware for my SBRICK?
Hello! Please find "Sbricks" menu option in the application, than click to your appearing SBrick. Then, at the bottom of the page you will find an "Update Firmware" option. Please click on it, and it starts updating the firmware of your SBrick. Here you can find more support for the application, https://social.sbrick.com/wiki/view/pageId/36/slug/the-appIf you have further questions, feel free to ask. :)Regards, Balint Mezei - SBrick Team
Thanks for your response... However I still need more help... As soon sa I opened the package and installed it into my lego car, I did exactly as what you sad below... But nothing happened.... only a message pop-up saying I have newer hardware than the version of App
You got the message because you have the newest firmware, so you won't be able to update it. What exact compatibility problems did you have? Could you give us more information about it? Balint
Thanks! Now I understand that firmware update is not necessary for mine. Thus, problems in my SBRICK are not relevant to the F/W version. Three major problems are... -. Abrupt exit of android application: During normal operation, my app. suddenly exits and it should be restarted... -. Even though app. starts without exception and my own model is loaded successfully, SBRICK does not respond to my control... I can recover it by reloading the model repeatedly, or running control pannel and testing a channel. -. While running, SBRICK halts...temporally uncontrollable with my smartphone. I guess this problem is somewhat related to Bluetooth coverage or power density from baterry box.... Thanks.Hello!Yes, you are right, it won't necessary. :) This abrupts are seems a special issue, please try to reinstal the application first. Low battery box could also be a problem, so please try to charge your batteries. If these won't work, please contact us again, and we will help you, don't worry. :) I hope i could helped to you. Best wishes, Balint Mezei - SBrick Team
It turned out that the abrupt termination I mentioned above is not related to the shortage of power supply form my baterry box. Even with full capacity, the same problem remains. I also tried my App. re-installation, however, nothing changed at all. I guess this problem may be caused by the channel configuration, where two PF motors are connected to one channel port among 4 ports supported by a SBRICK. Can you show me what would happen when more than two XL motors are connected to a SBRICK channel and the current over 2A flows through the channel port.... supposing two XL motors are highly loaded and need more than 1A, respectively. I wondere if this problem could be solved when I seperate two PF motors into two SBRICK channels to avoid current limit in SBRICK channel port. Hello! I forwarded your problem to our developers. They will check it out, what could be wrong. We ask for your patience. :) May I ask you what kind of phone do you use? Best wishes, Balint Mezei - SBrick Team
I appreciate for your response ^^a
My android phone is Galaxy S6 edge (SM-G925S) with android version 6.0.1.
Thanks.
