Thx a lot!

After some month of building I like to show you my latest MOC: A Mercedes Zetros 6x6 truck. It is a ~ 1:13,5 scale model of the Mercedes Zetros 2733. All functions are Full RC. It is 69 cm long, 21 cm wide and has a height of 27,5 cm. The weight is 4553 g. As battery I use the BuWizz. The Zetros is remote controlled by 4 Sbricks via iPhone. Functions and used parts: Propulsion: 4 Lego Technic Buggy Motor Steering: 1 Lego PF Servo Diff Locks (front / rear axles + central lock): 1 Lego PF Servo 4 Lego Pneumatic V1 + V2 1x5 (Automatic) Compressor: 1 Lego PF L-Motor 4 Lego Pneumatic Pump (V2) Winch: 1 Lego PF L-Motor Telescope Crane: 1 Lego PF M-Motor 3 Lego PF Servo 3 Lego Pneumatic V2 Cylinder 2x11 2 Lego Pneumatic V2 Cylinder 1x11 Outriggers: 1 Lego PF Servo 1 Lego PF M-Motor 2 Lego Pneumatic V2 Cylinder 2x11 Lights: 10 pairs Lego PF LED plus several Lego extension wires Some more highlights: Full independent Multi link live axle suspension Portal Axes Planetary Gears Working head lights, rear lights and flood lights Working turn signals and warning lights [/url Edit: I nearly forgot some special picture pair ;) [/url] Second edit: I corrected the scale which I'd miscalculated.

Oh really! Fortunately I did not run into the protection circuit until now.

There's no need to believe. For sure it's possible as I demonstrated in one of my last videos. There I power four buggy motors via SBrick simultaneously - with full BuWizz-Power. Have a look at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t86I0q_A3gY

Can't give proper feedback to the "Two-BuWizz-Problem". But the app was update only days ago. They changed the code for the use of two BuWizz.

@kbalage ah, ok :)

@nerdsforprez Thanks a lot @kbalage There's no need for to run both apps at the same time. After you switched the modes in the BuWizz app you can open the SBrick app and stay there as long as the BuWizz gives you energy

@kbalage So this could be the reason as I'm using iOS

@MajklSpajkl Thx :) I'm happy that you like the video. Have fun trying out. @kbalage Great! Moving the slider was not necessary when I tested. The voltage changed when I switched the modes immediately. On which OS you use the App?

Good luck! For me it works just great

Thx for the additional informations. But I was still curious if I can get the full power out of the BuWizz. So I checked it. And yes! You can get the full BuWizz power and use it with the SBrick for example. The advantage: You get very high power and you won't run into the protection circuit. I tested it with four buggy motors connected to two SBricks under very high load. You can watch my video where I show, how I tested and how to get the BuWizz providing high power to the Sbrick.

@kbalage Thx for your addition. Will have a look on this the next days.

Nice finding. Thx for sharing. Just when reading your post I was curious if it will work with SBricks too. And it works! So you can connect up to four Sbricks (or IR Receiver) to the BuWizz and use it as battery (also with powerbank). And good luck getting your BuWizz back :)

You have to write to the BuWizz Guys. They'll send you an invite to the beta of the app. The beta you'll install via the Testflight app from Apple.

Not so stupid question. I tested it. At the moment you can't power the LED with the BuWizz with a simple button in the app. You can use the sliders, but then the LED will glow only as long as you hold the slider. On my question the BuWizz team told me, in the version there will be buttons and individual setups.

Hi there, at the moment it's not possible to create own profiles. The BuWizz guys told me, that this will be changed with one of the next app versions. @m3eu: In the iOS app I had to connect the BuWizz just once for the session. But I had the problem, that it lost connection from time to time. Mine were shipped with normal postage service as registered mail. So I didn't get status updates. The small parcel arrived after about four or five days. So I hope you get it today or Monday.

Hi there, I received my BuWizz last friday and I did a little review including a comparison between BuWizz, SBrick and Lego PF on the example of buggy motors. Below you'll see the video. Should I also do a written review? Would this be interesting to you?
