[APP] BrickController2

[februar88]

I've made some kind of promotion for your system last weekend :)

We had an event in Moscow (maybe you've seen a RM8 promo). I used Sbrick Controller and ofc. gave other guys to try it.

Oh, that sounds good :) Thanks.

Did the app work OK anyway?

Yes :)

Hi februar88,

Could you test your controller with the Game Controller Tester app if it works? The link for it is this:

https://play.google....trollerverifier

Please let me know what buttons and joys are working with it.

I've made a screenshot for you.

Key pressed = 188-198 (1-2-3-4 under right thumb, L1, L2, R1, R2, select, start) - does not work in Sbrickcontrol, but this app recognizes them.

D-pad and both sticks are still ok

Hi,

It seems that this controller send very different key codes than mine. I need to extend the app to handle these codes. And thanks for the details it was very helpful.

Hello, IMURVAI.

Because you see this post and procedures specially registered account to support your message. I inadvertently seen on a forum GAMEPAD can remotely control SBRICK, very excited everywhere trying to find how to implement, very happy I see you made the post and procedures. The first time to download the operating procedures to use, thank you for your hard work and effort, thank you. Because I am Chinese, not English, only in English translation by Google to get back to you, please understand if the wrong expression. Thanks again.

Hi,

Thanks, 谢谢 :)

Thank you for this amazing app! My sBrick control was never as smooth and easy :) Although the app disconnects quite often on my Evolio M5, on a Samsung Galaxy S4 it works flawlessly. I will test it also on a 7" tablet soon.

Hi,

Does it disconnect during playing or also disconnects even when you don't touch the controller? And how often does it disconnects (approx)?

So, I've tested this better today, it seems that generally, it disconnects only when you use it, if I don't touch the controller it stays connected. Upon using it, after a variable amount of time, usually between 5 and 15 seconds, it disconnects. After closing and opening the profile, it connects again, the pattern then repeats. Sometimes, it connects but only to disconnect instantly. I currently have Android 4.4.2 on my phone and there are no official Android updates, for now.

Hi,

Android 4.4.2 should not be a problem. I'll try to figure out a fix but can't promise anything without testing on such a device :(

imurvai, thank you for that great program, yesterday i try it with 2 sbricks and all work very well. I bought same gamepad for that.

Cool, I'm glad it's working.

In the meantime I started working on the iOS version.

Woohoo! Glad to hear it:) Is there any way to help or support you?

Hi,

Recently I haven't had time for the development, but after the vacation I'm going to continue. Once there is something to test I'll let you know. Thanks for offering help anyway :)

Imuravi, would you consider porting (or starting from scratch) this project for the BuWizz?

It was my first thought when I was reading about the BuWizz :) But without knowing the details and the BT protocol it's hard to promise anything.

Hey imurvai,

Do you plan to realease the sourcecode? I want to work on an application for raspberry pi3 and am interested in your approach to the android app.

I'm wondering if crosscompatibility wouöd be feasable but this depends on the architectur.

Hi,

Yes, and actually the source code has been available here: https://github.com/imurvai/sbrickcontroller

Hi István,

I don't know how did this topic slip my attention up to this day, but I'm glad I've found it. Reading it top to bottom I really happy and appreciate all your effort that you put into this project. In about 5 minutes I'll order a controller.

Long story short: Thank you

Attila

Hi, Imurvai

I Update firmvare on my sbrick to 11 version, after it, my sbrick not find in SbrickController appliaction :-(

Hi, Imurvai

Hmm, I need to look into it. I haven't updated my firmware but I'll do so...

[imurvai]

I just updated my SBrick to firmware 4.12 and for the first time the app didn't find the SBrick. But after restarting the SBrick it started working. So please try restarting it and maybe the application as well or the phone itself too. If the restarts doesn't help you could also delete the SBrick from the application and do a scanning again. I've read about some changing on the MAC address handling in the new firmwares, maybe this is what caused the issue. Please let me know if it doesn't help and I'll try to investigate it further...

Hi, imurvai!

Thanks for a really useful app!

I've tried it and it works fine but one thing. There is no proportional control. In other words I can't accelerate smoothly. Full power only. Is it a problem of a controller (I use the same one as you do)?

Hi,

Ok, when I get back my controller I'll look into it...

[zver]

I've updated the sbrick firmware and proportional acceleration works now.

But there is a lack of calibration: a have max acceleration with 1/3 max angle of the controller stick.
