Lego PoweredUp sensors with Arduino

[kaxynet]

Hi every one , I be been working on putting together a library for Arduino to emulate Lego powered up distance/color sensor and Tilt sensor . Everything seems working fine using smart hub, control+ , can be used with spike prime and 51515 (sensor detection , values reporting) 

Following the link to the library github  (lin code , wiring  diagram, examples)

Waiting for your contributions to get more custom sensors ...

Hi @kaxynet, "emulate for" or "use with" Arduino?

It actually uses an arduino to make it recognizable by the Hub as a sensor , so you can implement whatever sensor you want (pressure , angle , contact ,...) it implement the serial protocol that LEGO pup sensors use so it fakes the Hub as if the arduino was an actual sensor

Wow! How cool ist this?!

This is fantastic! Does your software run on the Arduino nanos as well?

Thanks a lot for sharing!

Looks awesome, thanks!

Have you thought about connecting RC-servos to PU hub also? Trying to decide if it worth the effort, or just let go of standard controller altogether.

Yes the project supposed to run on all arduinos( tested on mega , uno , nano , stm32 nucleo)  enjoy ;)

Yes it s totally possible to intercept commands coming from the Hub (there's a small commented lines in the distance sensor file that read data coming from the hub , I ll eventually add support for RC servo to set their angle from the powered up app as if they were lego tacho- motors
