Totally agree, I was there when it was being developed and it was amazing too see someone do daily updates and requests when dealing with a FT job and family. I use this app every day and the only BT issue I have is after a Windows Update and remembering to do a reboot as MS never resets the BT properly after an update.

Could you have a sensor in a port detect a coloured tile and send a BLE signal to a laptop to play a sound, similar to BAP?

@Pybricks On the https://beta.pybricks.com/ doc section is doesn’t have the dcmotors (train motors)? Ah, silly me didn't click further. {tired}

@Lok24 I have just found your decoupler train mod using PF. Another great idea! https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/114550-remote-decoupling-engine/ I like it a lot and I am thinking of building it using a PU wedo motor for the decoupler and a PU train motor in the front of the loco. Question: If I use your PyBricks program to control the 2 motors will it work?  I know it will discover both motors, but will it be able to run the decoupler from the “B” buttons and not think both motors are used to drive the train? Maybe you can advise which part of the code I need to change please?  Cheers John.

Yes! I really did try it 😀 You should put it on the PyBricks site as it is really good!! I understand about the LED situation on the Remote, I think I saw that it was coming in a future release on the PyBricks site. I’m now going to try it with some of my other trains which I am converting to PU. Thanks again and keep up the good work, you clearly love coding, I wish I could, but I have tried for many years, but don’t have the acumen. Mechanics and building are my “thing”, even though my work job is SQL application support for a large international company. 😳 Cheers, John.

Lok24, this is really great, thanks so much for all the effort, and the PyBricks team too. I have been using another version alos one I tried myself, but this makes it very universal for all different types of configurations. I have it running on the Lego Croc loco with a large PU motor. One question I have is how do you know which profile you are running, other than the speed.. also is it a quick press or long press of the middle button to change profiles? It would be really good if the led on the remote or hub changed color or maybe blinked once to indicate it was changing profile…. But that is only minor. I also run the BAP layout program, which I think I saw you had made some contributions… I love using it also. Cheers, John
