The WeDo 2.0 motor and sensors are supported already though, just on other hub types. It's pretty much left on it's own, I wouldn't expect the WeDo 2.0 hub to ever have support inside the Powered Up app, especially as its limited to education market and consumers don't generally buy it. It speaks a very different Bluetooth "language". However, WeDo 2.0 is very old, and they've previously said they can't update the firmware on the hub. That's why I called it a "super app", they want to use it to unify all the consumer facing ranges. Sorry, maybe I was confused on the compatability of the WeDo and Spike with the Powered Up app (i think I read something about unifying all the hardware under the Powered Up app). They use a different connector and different apps. They are not compatible at all with Powered Up, SPIKE Prime, WeDo 2.0, etc. SPIKE Prime and WeDo 2.0 = NOT Powered Up, but compatible with LPF2 motors and sensors.ĮDIT: I see you mentioned NXT and EV3 in a subsequent post. This includes the Boost motor and sensor, WeDo 2.0 motor and sensor, Control+ motors and sensors, SPIKE Prime motors and sensors, etc. LPF2 = Motors and sensors compatible with Powered Up (as well as WeDo 2.0 and SPIKE Prime) use the LPF2 connector. Powered Up = the super app, as well as hubs - City Hub, Boost Hub, Control+ hub, remote control. Also not all LPF2 motors and sensors work with these two hubs. Although the WeDo 2.0 hub and SPIKE Prime app use LPF2 motors and sensors, they are *NOT* Powered Up compatible. As well as controlling the models it is configured for, it also has a programming mode, that is compatible with all the Powered Up hubs and nearly all LPF2.0 motors and sensors.ĥ. The Powered Up app is kind of a "super app". WeDo 2.0 with the WeDo 2.0 set, Spike Prime with the Spike Prime set, etc.Ĥ. Powered Up is used with City sets (as well as Creator Expert). Control+ is used to control Technic Control+ sets. It is compatible with the hubs I listed above, as well as the WeDo 2.0 hub, and the SPIKE Prime hub.ģ. The motors and sensors all use a connector called the LPF2.0 (or Lego Power Functions 2.0) connector. Also, technically the remote control is a hub too - it just has no removable ports and no embedded motors. The Powered Up/City Hub has two ports and no embedded motors. The Boost Move Hub has two ports to plug motors and sensors into, as well as two embedded motors. The Powered Up range has a few different hub types, yes. Thanks again!!!! That was really helpful!!!ġ. I also need to get the NXT stuff and the Ev!?! Something. And of course all the new Powered Up stuff. I am a little bit of a collection freak:) I need to get myself som WeDo and spike. There is a "Powered Up" app that can control all Powered Up hardware, including the Powered Up hardware used for Spike, WeDo, and Boost. there is a WeDo hub that is part of the Powered Up family,and there is a Boost hub that is also part of the Powered Up family). They use subsets of the Powered Up family of hardware (i.e. Spike, WeDo, and Boost are specific lego sets that are tied to their own respective apps. "Powered up" is the name of the family of hardware, which includes all the hubs, motors, and sensors from this line. So here's what (I think) I've gathered so far: Hey - so I've a bit of a newbie myself but, like you, I started looking at this stuff and also found it super confusing (I'm actually surprised Lego's marketing team chose such a disjoint approach). Thanks in advance if you can help me answer my questions :) if there is a link that explains all of this already on this forum or on the web, feel free to share:) Are they both connected to the app?Ģ-am I dreaming or have I seen a post somewhere that lego would introduce a cheaper powered up battery box (not connected to the app)Ĥ-is the Spike system the same as powered up? Just seeking answers for those questions I had :).ġ-powered up seems to have a hub with motors in it and a regular hub. Please remember I am new to this I don’t need bashing. If you fell like answering them please go ahead. And I am getting confused over how they work. Now of course there is the powered up stuff. For years I shaven been buying battery boxes, lights, remote and motors from the PowerFunction line. I am very very new to the world of motorisons lego stuff. Hi! Hopefully I am in the right section to post this.
