      I'm amazed by some of their choices, like: why is the technic hub retired as spare part but still available in the C+ sets? Why is the BOOST hub still available but no new set is using it? Etcetera...

      Thanks. LEGO used to listen to external experts many years ago (2007-2013), in the golden age of MINDSTORMS. Now it's amazing how they try to do quite the opposite. Adults welcome? Release the docs!!!

    Hello! I’d like to have a way to control this new hub with „88010 Remote Control”.
    Any hints how can I make it? I know that once pybricks will be made available it should be possible but any hint at this stage?

    • @profBricks
      @profBricks  Месяц назад

      I would integrate the python script by adding a section that connects the middleware (PC) to the LEGO 88010 remote and then forward the commands from the remote to the car.

      and hub only? I need to be connected with remote to computer and at the same time computer needs to send commands to hub, right?

    • @profBricks
      @profBricks  26 дней назад

      Unless someone will develop a custom firmware for the new hub (LEGO included), you will need a computer as middleware. I did it! Check this out: ruclips.net/user/shorts7I1Y9t_Kg5g

      @profBricks  Месяц назад +1

      I didn't check which is the maximum number that produces a change in speed. 100 is the maximum value allowed (or at least that generates changes in speed)

  • @NLGeebee

    So no possibility to use PyBricks on this hub?

    • @profBricks
      @profBricks  Месяц назад

      I'm not the right person to ask. Developing a custom firmware is a complex process compared to just capturing and sending the commands to the hub from another device.

    How much fast compare with original C+ app?

    • @profBricks
      @profBricks  Месяц назад

      Exactly the same. No visible latency. I'm sending max 200 raw commands per second, whenever the XBOX Controller inputs change

      @ZEROBRICKS Месяц назад

      @@profBricks Thanks for the swift response. I have a feeling the car can go faster than the Control + app allows it to, since the motor speed is regulated. A simple PWM without regulation should be faster IMO.
