Lipko Posted January 21, 2015 For all my models, I always bury the Ir receivers deep down in the model, where it can't be seen. And they still work fine, even at long distances. I wonder how that works. Sometimes even it's own cable blocks my reciever... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeocornoProductions Posted January 22, 2015 In my TC6 entry, my ir receivers are buried deep under huge panels, they are just on top of the floor of the car. It's worked in all my ir controlled mocs and testings. It also gets rid of the worry of ruining the bodywork. The wires, well they have never blocked my receivers, sometimes the receivers work for me facing down but not in every moc. Try it, you will be amazed.

jono rocky Posted February 1, 2015 Not sure if been asked but, Can the you via an app. switch on a motor through the sbrick and so that it runs until you switch it back off on the app. and not have to manually hold the power on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BachAddict Posted February 2, 2015 Not sure if been asked but, Can the you via an app. switch on a motor through the sbrick and so that it runs until you switch it back off on the app. and not have to manually hold the power on? There is at least one profile with a "Lights" button, which keeps that output on until it is pressed again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jono rocky Posted February 2, 2015 There is at least one profile with a "Lights" button, which keeps that output on until it is pressed again. Thank you. Thats helpful. I'm making a concrete truck for the [TS6] contest so being able to have the bowl turning all the time helps, just have to have a manual reverse switch. Cheers.

PKW Posted February 6, 2015 I'm sure that my entry has 4 functions but only ti be sure, i'm using a switch that control one motor controlled by one motor which is connected to a receiver output so you can turn on-off that motor with the remote, this count as a function right? And: if i can't film my video (due ti rain -.-) i can just upload a small video showing my MOC not necessary an edited high quality video?

normangt4 Posted February 8, 2015 As a newcomer to Eurobricks I had been looking for ward to making some sort entry into this contest. However, I find myself in the position that Sbrick are still refusing to give many Android phone users any way of controlling a Sbrick. (You only have to look at the Sbrick Support forum to see the extent of the problem.) Perhaps it would be fairer to put off the closing date to give Sbrick owners of all mobile phones a chance to compete. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps it would be fairer to put off the closing date to give Sbrick owners of all mobile phones a chance to compete. You don't need SBrick, neither Android phone to participate. Just build something that has 4 functions and use 2 lego receivers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lipko Posted February 8, 2015 Yup. I built a dummy SBrick to demostrate how the model would look with a real Sbrick and made the video using 2 recievers and some ugly cabling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
captainmib Posted February 9, 2015 So, i'm building my TC6 entry, but this week is very busy for me. I'm 80% done with the build, but i'm afraid i wont make it before the deadline. Is it possible to postpone it a week? Maybe there are other builders who want the same? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Posted February 9, 2015 You've had almost two months to build, longer than usual. Apparently, the more time I give people, the longer they postpone. I don't feel inclined to extend the deadline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
