Powered Up experiences

[efferman]

Today the 76112 App controlled Batmobile arrived and these is my experience after a few minutes. My focus is only on the electric parts

Connections:
The Nokia 6.1 with bluetooth 5.0 sees the Hub #04 (showed as this in the connection screen), but the hub doesnt allowed the connection. Even the app can connect the hub.

The Galaxy Tab 2 with bluetooth 4.2 sees the Hu, but the hub doesnt allowed the connection. The Hub is connecting fast to the App

Me, as a full grown kid, is not very happy with the little bit bitchy connection. what is the reaction of a small kid if it would not work?

Working range.

20 inch under electrical light is working. Other circumstances will be tested later.

Motorrs
Size is similar to the PF-M Motors.Max  Rpm has to be tested, but the minimum rpm is at 10 percent roundabout 1 round per 3 seconds very low. interestingly the Up-M works not with the train app. They seem to be coded.

Batterys
The battery carrier for the 6 AAA batteries is removable for easy battery access.

Connectors:
two 6 wire connectors which are not stackable or compatible with Power functions. Hopefully the technic version has more ports.

Thanks offerman. The motor is in fact the same as the one from WeDo 2.0. Indeed very interesting, next week I'll try to test that motor too and see how the HUB reports it back...

From the venerable Mr Isogawa:

Hope they do a firmware update for boost+wedo hubs, to allow them to use the PU motor!

The working range is not bad
