Edit: I was mistaken, you can still use the python section for free. Just set it to python when creating your project. Guys, unfortunately they've made it all behind a paywall now. I went to try to change one of my python programs and it wouldn't let me access the python section without paying for the block programming section first. Only thing they would let me do for free is restore the old firmware, so at least I can still control my sets with my phone...
Nothing has changed to Python. It's free. It's even open source, so you could even make a complete copy if you wanted to. Block coding is completely optional, and we're super grateful for everyone who has supported us that way. Not everyone may realize it, but this is what makes all the free stuff possible, and we'd love to keep making more exciting free features. It sounds like you've opened a *block* project and then tried to edit the generated *Python* code. That doesn't work, since changing the blocks would immediately change the code again. To use Python, just open an actual Python project :)
@@pybricks Oh ok! Thanks for the quick response. I hadn't used pybricks in awhile and I didn't see the option for the python. I haven't used pybricks and python used to be the default.
@@shadowfax3505and it remembers your setting, so Python will be the default for you. If you want to update your same comment on racing bricks channel video about this, that would be nice. There's no paywalls for any of the original features features :)
I've rewritten the software on lego 51515hub, do you know how to get it back?
Directly below the install option, there is the restore option. This puts the original back.
