Hi everyone,

I have finally release the source code of this project. My life choices simply prevent me to engage further in this project, and it would be stupid not have the community take over and make it even better!
You can download the full source code here: https://github.com/Cosmik42/BAP

Feel free to upload some pull-request and help improve this software!

Here an example to set different speeds for every train for each section in the code editor of the PAB software.  Many thanks to Cosmik42 who was so nice to release the source code.

 

 

[How to lighten up Modular Houses best?]

I'm using pogo pins (spring loaded pin connectors) and gold plated surfaces (SIM cards) to connect the floors of the modular buildings which each other.

[Preventing LEGO sunlight damage]

I used plexiglass to avoid dust and hopefully it will reduce sunlight damage.

The wire is thin enough to be placed almost invisible between plate and brick.

Another option is to buy SMD LED's, resistors, thin wire and do the soldering by yourself. It's less expensive but more time consuming. 

[Storage and Sorting LEGO]

They also have these organizers in a box.

I'm using Organizer Caddy XL (375 mm x 50 mm x 225 mm) from Hornbach.

[Brickshelf up, down..who knows!]

Does anyone know how to create a new account in Brickshelf, because the link on the site is not working.

[Part Degradation over Time]

After a few years LEGO parts will become brittle and discoloured caused by sunlight (mainly UV radiation)?

[What camera for shooting LEGO]

I have good experience with a Panasonic DMC-GX1 camera.

[Preventing LEGO sunlight damage]

Who has long term experience of placing LEGO behind plexiglass (acrylic) in order to prevent sunlight damage?

[Control all your Powered Up & Power Function (SBrick) devices with a single software]

I just started with the BAP software v1.5 (great job, awesome software!). I bought a few Powered UP XL motors (bb0960c01),  Hubs (bb0892c01), Technic Hubs and Color & Distance Sensor 88007.
I was able to connect up to 16 devices to my internal Bluetooth device (Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4) of my DELL desktop.

When a PUP XL motor is connected to HUB NO.4 the motor is not running when I move the speed slider ( with technic hub no problem).
Sometimes also an error message pops up during connection of the hub with sensor: "ERROR: Issue with color packet. It was too short!!".

Most of the times the battery level of HUB NO. 4 shows 0%, with Technic Hub it's ok (maybe firmware issue with HUB NO.4?).  

Thanks again for the great software!
