- Finally you can use the LEGO Powered Up remote with all smart LEGO hubs!
You can try it with the latest beta release of Pybricks: beta.pybricks.com/ - Наука та технологія
I just started using Pybricks yesterday. I love what it does. I'm currently using Beta with the Projects 4x4 layout for the Remote, to control what is best described as a Porsche 911 Buggy. I'm just learning (again) how to code so I can start customizing the code for adding controls for lights. I love not having to use my phone to take my car for a drive, and the flexibility to make a true custom build.
The little remote is great!
I just started using pybricks and ab-so-freaking-lutely love it. You don't need to be a coding whiz, the hubs start up so much faster, and the fact that I can use the remote is an absolute game changer. Great work team pybricks!
Can't wait to see what you'll make!
Perfectly!
can you make an tutorial how to change the hub light and show how to make a stepless control for the 42109
Amazing
One remote to rule them all
are you george not found
ware do i buy the remote and what is the code to/how to pair
How I can connect and download the firmware on a Spike Hub?
Can this be used with the EV3?
Yeah!
Hello, can you give me an example code on how to connect and disconnect within the script as you show it in the video at 1:22 ? Is that also possible with 2 technic hubs? Is it possible to do this while beeing disconnected from the pc? I am working on a pybricks code for my MOC of the 42100 Libeherr Excavator set that is using 2 technic hubs with 7 motors. I would like to control it using just one remote...
You can make the hubs communicate now, if you like! So you can still use a single remote for multi-hub creations.
I have done everything described in this video which was very helpful btw, but when I press the button on the hub again it turns red and when I turn the controller on it connects and turns green like it’s supposed to, but then when I press the forward or reverse button on the controller it does nothing and starts flashing blue and I have redownloaded the program fully several times but it still doesn’t work it keeps saying the requested operation is not valid in the current state and to check the traceback and gives errors on code lines 268, 95, and 464. Can someone please help me fix this. Thanks very much.
Can you post the code you've tried at our forum over at github.com/orgs/pybricks/discussions? Thanks!
Great😊
Great job! It adds a lot more playability to to powered up functions. Is it possible to control lego technic hub with a game pad, e.g. PS4 controller?
The PS4 controller uses an older type of Bluetooth, so that wouldn't work. But it might be possible with newer controllers that support Bluetooth Low Energy.
Xbox Controller use Bluetooth Low Energy
@@pybricks Then, what about the PS5 (DualSense) Controller?
Hi there, I have a robot inventor hub but pybricks has never been able to detect it, whether I use bluetooth or cable. Any ideas? Many thanks
You'll want to install the firmware first, via the settings menu.
Wait, remote control can work with lego boost?!
Where can i find some example code of combining remote control with autonomous control. With no need for the pc to be contected once program is installed.
Here's one example: pybricks.com/projects/sets/technic/42099-off-roader/powered-up-remote/
There's more if you navigate through the rest of the projects :)
I would love to see indentical project in javascript/typescript
And plain C++ please. Would love to code it Arduino-like, so you can stuff more complex programs. Python is bloatware.
Hello,
is it possible to share the example code? In documentation there is a "How to center a steering motor" example but seems to not work...
Yes, it's here! pybricks.com/projects/sets/technic/42099-off-roader/powered-up-remote/
@@pybricks ok thank you! I try to Do It by myself but controller seems to block
@@giobaxNXT For support, this would be a good place to ask: github.com/pybricks/support/discussions
@@pybricks ok thx!
@@pybricks Hi, I just upgraged a little bit the code for 42099 and created a new profile for the 42124 model. How can I share the code? I also see there is a beatufil script for a self balancing 42099. Where can I take the code? Thank you
Can I use 2 train remotes for controlling all 4 boost hub channels? Please reply. Thanks
You could do that with just one remote: You can make each button do whatever you want. You could even use the middle button to switch between functions, for example.
Pybricks, do you have an idea how to connect phone with 51515 hub by bluetooth but with remote control that works the same way like in this video? Or will you add some kind of pybricks app for android with remote control option?
Yes, we have this working but it is not yet fully released. But if you don't mind following a few extra steps, you can already do this using the instructions on our GitHub support page.
@Pybricks really this is possible? I mean controlling 51515 hub with pybricks by phone. But how to find that on github? Because now github for me is a little too difficult too grasp.
@@tykenen4178 it's probably best to wait for the next releases. Github is only needed if you really want to use the very latest version. The inventor hub (51515) will be easy to use in our main app in a few months.
Does the remote control enable you to turn a motor continuously, without holding the buttons?
Yes, you can make it do anything for any button press.
@@pybricks Thanks 👍 Does it require the app to do that? I’ve been using the Boost Remote 3rd party app, as I haven’t a clue how to use the PoweredUp app, for a simple plug n play.
Basically I’m making an amusement ride MOC, that I’m wanting to control with a continuous rotation on one function, and a pendulum/joystick control on the other.
@@BrickRidesUK this video shows how to do it with Pybricks. It works by writing a small Python script. The remote is quite similar to a sensor, so you can write a script that responds to each of the buttons. We have a lot of examples in our app and on our website to help you get started.
@@pybricks thanks 👍 I’ll take a look.
Too bad the remote itself sucks. The old ones had 8 steps in each direction. I think we should be able to connect 2 hubs, one as host, one as client, and use pressure sensors on the client to control motors on the host. The pressure sensors have 20 levels, much more usable.
