Hi Folks, My son got the Minstorm EV3 for Christmas. So far the basic model that comes with the Mindstorm Box has been built. I think it is called Track3R. The demo program has been executed sucessfully. The thing can move forwrad, backward, rotate, and turn its propeller in both directions. However, we are having some issues with the infrared sensor. The light turns green on the remote, but the IR sensor doesn't receive the signal. I have tried all channels 1, 2, 3, 4. I also did indeed changed the EV3 menu to "IR Control" before activating the IR remote. On the EV3, the screen shows "CH1+2". Then I see an arrow going from CH2 to A then from CH2 to D and then from CH1 to B and C. Am I missing something? Max.

What better way to use the built in Infrared ports available on more and more Android devices these days than to control Power Functions with it? I know there was a discussion in an earlier post a while back with someone asking if such an app exists, so here it is : PFremote for Android compatible with Samsung and HTC devices with built in IR : Galaxy S4, Tab 2/3, HTC One, HTC One Max . It is actually a port from the one already available for iOS, but since no iOS device has ( and probably will never have ) and IR port, the one for iOS requires NXT and some aftermarket sensors ( HITechnic and PFMate ). This one uses the IR port directly. It will be available for download on the Amazon Appstore on November 9th, but until then here are some teaser videos :)
