AVCampos Posted September 7 Posted September 7 In that case, isn't the name of the system that began with WeDo 2.0 actually LPF2? Quote

My friend these are plastic toys, it really doesn't matter as much as you think it does. People have been using the terms C+ and PU in this forum pretty interchangeably ever since it first released Edited September 8 by Bartybum Quote

Â Â If LEGO were consistent in their naming, it might make sense to stick to the "correct" definition, but it is all around the place. The hardware components have completely arbitrary names, the "Powered Up" category on lego.com has some but not all of the related sets and parts. I've chosen to use the term Powered Up product family for all hardware that uses the LPF2 connector, but that puts a question mark on the new All-in-One hub for example, as it has no expansion capabilities, it is not compatible with the PU app, etc. Things are rarely black and white in the LEGO world. LEGO only puts the Control+ label on their Technic sets, so people will use that term, that's inevitable. Quote
Lok24 Posted September 8 Posted September 8 Hi , I refer to this article by Kim Ellekjær Thomsen from August 6, 2018 https://lan.lego.com/news/overview/powered-up-afol-community-answers-r146/#_ Quote: Powered UP is the name of the new LEGO electronic building platform. This new platform has 2 main connectors: The new plug used for wired connections and a wireless RF connection using Bluetooth LE. The wireless connection is both used between physical Powered UP elements and to mobile smart devices. Current products using elements from the Powered UP platform are: WeDo 2.0, Boost, CITY Trains, DUPLO Trains and the App controlled Batmobile. So it is the platform and has nothing to do with sets, technic or similar. 1 hour ago, kbalage said: but that puts a question mark on the new All-in-One hub for example, as it has no expansion capabilities, it is not compatible with the PU app, etc. That's the question: does the LEGO Technic Move Hub use the LEGO Wireless Protocol 3.0.00 ? If so it would be PU, otherwise not. And if so I could use all may software to control it. Same question for Mario, the here discussed new elements or the new LEGO Education Science. That's why i think it is important to name products correctly, cause it gives a hint of the internal properties. 1 hour ago, kbalage said: LEGO only puts the Control+ label on their Technic sets, so people will use that term, that's inevitable. Which is correct, but that's not a "system" It's just an app using LWP 3.0 Quote
kbalage Posted September 8 Posted September 8 @Lok24 so many things have changed since 2018. You can try to stick to the definition provided by the PU team back then, but those people are long gone and most of their plans and promises have not been fulfilled. I have a nice library of roadmaps and plans that looked great on paper, but never happened. At this point TLG does not even want to sell us most of the "Powered Up" hardware they created in the past years... As for the hub (which by the way is not the Move Hub, this one doesn't even have a name, just a part ID), it uses the same protocol, but there is no software other than Control+ that can control it. So is it part of the product family? Yes, it would be important to name products and technologies properly, but TLG failed to do so in the first place. It makes no sense to impose a naming convention on each other if the company is not willing to dedicate resources to this topic. Anyway, this is very off-topic in the 2026 discussion, I'm happy to continue this elsewhere. Quote

So is it part of the product family? Of course, if it uses the same protocol it is a PU-Device, and my software which uses the LWP 3.0 should be able to control it.  This is why it is important to define the devices properly, and not mix that with the Lego "Themes"  1 hour ago, kbalage said: Anyway, this is very off-topic in the 2026 discussion, I'm happy to continue this elsewhere. Topic here is 2026 Technic Sets , so the complete mentioning of Smart Play is very off-topic.

I'll finish my bit off here by saying that yes, you're technically correct in that it's called PU, but that's not the point. The point is that it doesn't matter whether we refer to it as C+ or PU, because we all understand what people mean when they refer to either. Quote

Obviously not, there was mentioned some "c+ System" ,and I don't know why @Auroralampinen used this expression together with smart play. And what about the "hate"?

Perplexed ...  gonna go out on a limb here and say english isnt your first language. System is a generic almost filler word that can be thrown in just about anywhere. "please reboot your system" typically refers to a single device, yet we call it a system? so if i wanted to call a single technic hub a system i could and itd be perfectly fine. You say its "technically" just the name of an app but when i buy a technic set all i see is the word control+ on the set combined with physical components that work with this app, that would be a system in anyones eyes. Your own linked articles call poweredup a platform not a system anyways, so let the dude have his word. He compared one existing system to a new one coming to technic in 2026, the title of the thread is 2026 technic sets discussion no? why perplexed? Quote

Jundis Posted October 22 Posted October 22 Just look in the threads of previous years. Last year, for example: - late october some pics of the polybag models - late november, we got the first leaked pics of January wave - early december some prelim pics of the line-up from Stonewars/Promobricks of Januar/March - early/mid december the names of the Summer wave Quote
