[APP] BrickController2
Great Ball Pit replied to imurvai's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Does anyone have a link to the latest version in an APK format? I'm planning on installing on a few old phones and don't want to sign in with my google credentials. Alternatively if you have a link to a tutorial on how to pull the APK from my main phone that has it installed that would work as well. -

I'm fine using the Control+ hub from my 4x4 to run this module for a show this weekend :)

Here's a video of the first in a series of LegoGBC modules I will build using the smaller simple City/Batmobile HUB. I will be flashing the code directly to the HUB with Pybricks as soon as the firmware is available for the City HUB. (I already have the python working on the control+ HUB)

2020 Mindstorms set
Great Ball Pit replied to Coder Shah's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I'm looking forward to this set, and I plan to build some GBC modules using the hub, motors, and sensors. Hopefully the software to program this brick is well done, I'm not too keen on how they did the boost/pup/control+ programming. The lack of documentation, and in-house tutorials, was disappointing. -
I've used Pybricks with my Technic Hub and had great results. Looking forward to the City and Boost hub firmware becoming available!

Good reliable modules -> https://www.greatballpit.com/p/lego-gbc-for-beginners.html -
Thank you for the research and information!

There are a bunch of other great mods for this module that people have come up with. I have done the 20T bevel gear reduction mod.

Masking tape and a sharpie with an arrow drawn pointing to the correct speed for that controller. -
Hello, here is my latest module which will allow me to split the flow of balls into two separate outputs. I've wanted to do a path splitter for a while. So after seeing a module in a recent European GBC layout that used the Sports ramps in this manner, it inspired me to get started. This module has a recirculation function, massive input bin, and the ability to move balls out quite quickly. The biggest challenge when building this module was getting the sweeper motion to work as intended. If anyone here has a better solution for the sweeper linkage please leave a reply as it is something I'd like to improve.

42110 - Land Rover Defender

Looks great, I'll be getting this one for sure. -
Hi Doug, all of the clips in my intros are taken from full length videos available on my YouTube channel. That intro has "Morgan's Mine", "Tilt-Shift" and "Solaire". If you are talking about the Minecraft module, it's based on GBCRamps which was designed by Brian Bonahoom. Instructions available here: http://www.greatballcontraption.com/wiki/GBCRamps I did build something similar called Inclination which can be seen here: https://youtu.be/B5RKMy1Ubj4

Here is my version of the BrickWorld Chicago 2019 Workshop Module. It is a jigsaw style stepper and uses a Power Functions M motor. The motor and powertrain are built in such a way that they are supported by the main drive axles which is quite interesting. It is mostly studless Technic which is a departure from the BW series of modules.

It's an interesting module @Lasse D. I think it needs to be themed as a "Dippy Bird" ?
