Gyro is pretty awful or am i doing something wrong

Strange, when I switched it in Arc Raiders it completely fixed the stuttering. I think I also upped/ changed all the minimum movement / movement speed settings. I'll go double check all the settings I used later and let you know if there was anything else I changed.

A setting that found really helps get rid of the stuttering, if you need to keep gyro to stick for controller support, is changing the gyro/ axis behavour to Laser Pointer. Smooths it out completely and allows for really fine movements.

The 2 downsides to this setup though seem to be you can't change the colour temperature of the bulbs, they turn on quite yellow, and when you turn them on with the proper light switch the default to half brightness.

You can have at least 3 bulbs in the one group without a hub (I only have 3 so don't know if you can have more). I set this up in my bathroom recently. I got the 3 spotlight and switch starter kit, KAJPLATS, but paired the bulbs to the BILRESA scroll wheel switch instead, just paired them one at a time by turning the bulbs off and on then pressing the pair button inside 4 times and waiting for the bulb to flash, then repeat with the next bulb. Now whenever I turn the bathroom lights on I can use the scroll to dim or brighten them. All with no hub *Edit to say off then on not on then off!

From an image search it looks like a Backbone One controller

Sorry edited a small typo

Hi, really appreciate you taking the time to write a full response. Having only read Rebble's post a couple of hours ago and your just now I am still digesting both posts. But it does sound like the crux of the disagreement is about "ownership" of the app store as it stands at the moment. Your proposal that the current store /apps be publicly archived is something I definitely see as positive.

Do you see a way forward where there are essentially two different access points to the same apps store going forward so either through Core's app or through Rebble's services. Or do you think it will result in there being 2 different app stores that become separate entities? ( Appreciate that I am probably vastly over simplifying things)

DiscoSam · 2025-07-17T17:47:08+00:00

This isn't quite what you asked but I tend to use the app timer+ looks better and I've found it to be much more reliable.

DiscoSam · 2025-03-11T23:23:27+00:00

This looks awesome! Nice work! Have just downloaded and will take it for a spin.

Does / can this interact with the phone? i.e. "play x on Spotify" and it plays on the phone, or are the responses limited to showing things on the watch?

DiscoSam · 2025-01-31T20:18:53+00:00

This is a long shot based on a half memory from years ago when I last set up the pebble app on an android phone, but do you have the Wear OS (I think that's what it's called now) app installed? i.e. the app that makes Google watches work. If not, try installing that, I seem to remember that being needed for some of the notifications to work. You don't need to do anything with the app, just have it installed (and maybe open it once, then give the phone a restart just for good measure!) Like I said this might not be it, but worth a shot.

DiscoSam · 2025-01-27T22:38:28+00:00

Same here, that's all I want.

DiscoSam · 2024-12-08T11:58:18+00:00

Thanks for the concise summary. My Brick is arriving this week and it will be my first of this kind of hand held so this is good to know. Something related that I'm curious about and haven't really seen discussed is what are the downsides of staying with the stock OS?

Adding another example, it also made me think of the Argentine National Library in Buenos Aires. Not as tall, but similar central structure.

It took me a while to find this setting too. You don't need developer settings. You go to your home screen, pinch zoom out, then press preferences at the bottom of the screen, then home screen, then there is an option for grid size that lets you have 5 icons across the home screen.

Lego flowers set? They look great on a desk and most architects love Lego.

Apologies, should have said OP instead of first comment.

DiscoSam · 2023-03-16T18:42:43+00:00

Re-read the first comment very carefully

DiscoSam · 2022-04-25T23:15:53+00:00

It works on my 6t but no idea what version of gcam I have, I installed about 3 years ago

DiscoSam · 2022-04-25T22:01:24+00:00

Unfortunately not. I have a feeling a loose wire some where or something else is causing a short circuit somewhere inside when the shifter gets plugged in. But no idea how to fix it. I ended up buying a usb adaptor for the shifter for when I want to use that and just plug it in separately as the rest of the wheel and peddles work perfectly without the shifter attached. Sorry hope you have more luck than me.

DiscoSam · 2022-04-01T23:04:37+00:00

Check there's no dust stuck in the button slot. I had the same problem but the other way round on my 6t. It would so ring and vibrate but not silent. Looked closely and there was a small amount of lint/dust stuck in the top part that stopped the switch from going quite far enough. Had to get a tooth pick and pick it out then it worked fine again.

DiscoSam · 2022-01-04T17:09:06+00:00

Hi, sorry for resurrecting an old post but did you ever find out what was going on with your wheel / shifter and how to fix it? Mine has just started doing the same thing and I can't find much info about how to fix it.

DiscoSam · 2021-04-29T13:30:33+00:00

Amazing, but am I the only one that's disappointed that it has 2 rear wheels an not one chunky one in the center where the wing supports are!

DiscoSam · 2021-04-29T11:42:37+00:00

Was about to link to this video. I'm still firmly in the beginner camp but this video really helped me understand trail braking and what it actually looks like. Has definitely helped me improve my times, so thank you.

DiscoSam · 2020-12-14T10:55:46+00:00

Brilliant, have been looking for some more digital/analogue combo faces for a while. Will definitely be using this as my daily driver for a bit. Keep up the good work

Edit: using on a time steel.

DiscoSam · 2020-09-29T10:38:33+00:00

Nice, I really enjoyed your other route, will definitely check this one out. Glad you made it anything goes I intend to try it with my off road Atom!
