  Soós Balázs → Coding app beta test: hello Lénárd.
  Please find some bugs :

  Please find some bugs :
  - 1.BUG: if I use the data of 88007 distance sensor as a direct input for smart motor postition, it stops to work after a minute..(see pic.1). There is no same problem in case of servo motor! (see pic.2) I tried with 88008 and 88013 lego motors.
  -2. BUG: In case of slow controling of SERVO motor, the results is jerking. It seems as a result of oversteering and than corrigation of that. So less balanced/ nubbly working than with Lego Powered up app-.
  in case of 88008 motor the result is worse than with 88013. (pic.3)
  - 3. BUG: still software crash in case /motor "x" set brake-true/
  and some ideas. If you do not use them, disagre or needs too much energy to implement them, just skip on it
  I would really welcome some new Hubs blocks, like:
  - 4.IDEA: - /motor "x" rotate with "y" with speed "z"/
  or /motor "x" change position "CW/CCW" with speed "z"/,
  where y= the amount of positon change (so not the position number)

    Soós Balázs - 5. IDEA /motor "x" find position "y" faster way/ - go to y position use the faster way/less rotation

    - 7. IDEA - possibilty to define the min value of a slider at the controller window --> for example to model gas pedal in case of RC cars, define min.value to 20, which means if you do not grab the slider, it goes with 20%..) see pic5. what I mean.

    Lénárd Pásztor Hi! I just checked with the same version, and I see the hubs (sbrick,control+). The hubs tabs inside project showing just the configured hubs inside virtual ports, but I see that you didn't see the hubs on the virtual port section too. What is your iOS version?

    But if I understand you well: this is not a bug, you just cannot add hub at the hub tabs in the project? in contrast to the case of first screen and virtual port? if it is the case thats a bit confusing for me.. why not? Like in the case of first welcome screen..

    The only place where you can add/remove devices is the hubs-virtual ports at the left menu inside the project.
    If you have suggestion how we can make this less confusing, please share your ideas with us.

    However personally I would appreciate an other solution: in a project the "virtual port" could be on the same level as"hubs" in the toolbar (like saving, project setting, grid setting, etc..), it probably makes a better overview, easier usage and understanding for user.

    What I meant huge potential, but a long challenge: if you could run a code directly on your mindstorm hub which control the other hardware/not mindstorm hubs, without using your smartphone/pc processor. thats sthing i've never seen..
    you mentioned above that " these devices like tilt and distance sensor support also enters to the SBrick app too soon, but without coding, so with limited functionality."

Maybe we can use their firmware too to make them compatible. For controlling in general without a mobile device I have a very different idea which could be a new product in future.
    With limited functionality I mean that you can use sensors with the profile designer circuits feature, because it is no programming in the SBrick app.  less

    Soós Balázs ok, thanks. If the hubs internal gyro means the controling smart phone/tablet gyro, I understand the system...
    in other case the description in the sbrick app is not so clear..

  I am really like the software, it has a lot of prospectivity. Just inspired me,and some ideas came into my mind:
  
  1. as I understand, Google Blockly could directly translate the blockdata into several language, such JavaScript, phyton, PHP... see the attached prtnscrn
  At the right side of coding area, for me it is not as important to see in large scale which objects i am in,
  but to see how does the loops look like in different language, that sthing would be amazing!
  I am having fun to learn coding in my free time, and i am a beginner. But I think a lot of future users would be in the same shoes, including children and teens too, and it would be awesome way to learn coding principles.
  So the question Could it be implement this language translation display into sbrick pro? i mean for example to choose what would you like to see- objects or translated codes?
  2. I play the app on my phone - with a smaller screen. For me it is a bit annoying, if I would like to add for example a math block...    less

What is still strange for me is the second problem about the browser app + driver. So you use the https://pro.sbrick.com and you donwloaded the SBrick Pro driver, not the scratch driver, right? you are in windows 10, and you have integrated bluetooth 4.0+ radio working. You have never received an error message, just the hubs not showing in the list. That is correct?

  2. I am bit new with visual programing. Is there any solution in sbrick pro to preset the position number of smart motor? If not, it could be highly welcomed
  I mean something similar than TachoMotorPresetPosition in case of powered up app (see the prntscrn from racingBrick webpage..) I would like to use that with a 88008 motor.
  Thanks, and have a fun build  less

    Lénárd Pásztor ok, sorry, I was wrong. Bad news is that there wasn't exists a code block to reset the position. The good news is we just created one. You just need to restart the application then you will see the new block "smart motor position reset"

    Soós Balázs As I see in RacingBrick website, this is called
    TachoMotorSpeedDegrees/Position in the powered up app, where you could/have to define also the speed of the rotation too. In robotization it is great tool.

    • February 25, 2021

    Lénárd Pásztor Oh yes, this is something that can be very useful, so we created the block. You can find it "motor X set motor position Y and speed Z"
