One further note: because the Robot Inventor is the retail version and thus reaches more people, it has some nice features not available in Spike Prime, such as as white text on a black background which is easier to read when coding in Python, as well as automatic Bluetooth connecting,. It’s also easier to find information and code examples in the Knowledge Base for sensors, and motors, etc. because it’s organized in a clearer way.
Hey Gary! Can you do something on "threading"? I often need to run two functions simultaneoulsy. Like for instance moving the wheels while moving an actor.
@@CreatorAcademyAustralia Oh, I will. Unfortunately my 51515 hub doesn't work with the Spike App. I tried changing the firmware with pybricks but it didn't work.
Hello, Creator Academy, When I connect the robot inventor hub to Spike Prime app appears a window with a sign "Update hub" and I don't know what will be after I update the hub... Maybye you know?
The firmware on the Robot Inventor and Spike Prime are not exactly the same. So if you plug your Inventor Hub into the Spike App, it will want to “update” it to Spike firmware. Or if you plug a Spike Hub into the Inventor App, it will want to upgrade it to Inventor firmware. So there’s no harm in accepting the upgrade since an upgraded Hub will still work fine with whatever app its connected to. Hope this helps.
I need to ask. Neither my Spike App nor the browser app gives me the third option to use python. I only see picture and word blocks. Do I need to do something to enable python?
Hi! Thanks for the tutorial. Spike Prime is amazing! In our school we still use Ev3. I hope we'll switch to Spike Prime as fast as we can. Thanks, one more time!

Great tip! I have also got a comparison between the versions over here: ua-cam.com/video/abOdzTtNwzI/v-deo.html Garry
A VERY Helpful video! Great Job! 🙂
This course is wonderfull. Thank you. I will wait for the next chapter with great interest.
Next episode is being made, hoping to upload in a few days! Garry

New version of Python on SPIKE handles this really nicely! Check out the latest tutorials. Garry

hi from Canada! Awesome tutorial. Please create same videos for spike 3.x version 1:00:42
Thank you for videos like this.
Glad you enjoyed it! Garry

Hi! This usually means that the app and hub software have different versions. Simply run the update and your hub will run normally afterward. G

Hi, you need to search for the SPIKE ‘Legacy App’ because the latest version doesn’t have Python yet. Garry

Good job! This is a better version compared to the older one.
thanks for sharing!✔
Thanks for the tutorials Gary. Very thorough and well paced through. 👍
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it. Garry
Great tutorial, thank you very much!
Glad you enjoyed it! Garry
Does all this seamlessly transfer over to the EV3?
Hi! Python syntax is the same, but all the libraries are different. Garry
@@CreatorAcademyAustralia This is helpful to know. Thank you.
