BuWizz - High Performance LEGO Power Functions Controller and Battery

[wissamms]

Congratulations guys!

[Zerobricks]

Well done! It was really fun trying out the prototype and pushing (punishing) Lego to new limits.

[Boxerlego]

Excellent work on reaching your money goal BuWizz team.

[GroundskeeperWillie]

Congratulations guys!

But now it's such a long wait until november

[Appie]

You're welcome. I changed mine to two units.

Thanks! :)

[Beard]

Congratulations! Luckily it's summer, so I'm not that bummed it's not November yet :). And when it's November, I will not be bummed at all!

[Jay Psi]

Congratulations! Unfortunately the budget didn't stretch to two, but I will be eagerly looking forward to how this progresses.

[Appie]

Seems another guy changed his pledge or something, because another $89 Early Bird Special is up for grabs again right now. So whoever was on the fence like me, knock yourself out.

[technic_addict]

So these will be coming in the light grey color?

[leinaud]

Congrats! Super looking forward to this now. Makes my in progress MOC that much better as I can now scrap the RC control unit I was looking at having to use with my RC motors!

You made it!

Congrats!

[Ron1]

Thank you all for supporting BuWizz - we made it to the goal with your support!

Now the "real" work begins for us - making BuWizz a product.

We'll do our best!

PS: campaign is not over yet; there are still the stretch goals ;-)

Congratulations on funding, I am very glad because this will be excellent for compact builds!

I do hope that the API is open-source, however. Open source programs, historically, are higher-quailty than closed-source programs.

I also hope the 75k stretch goal is reached.

Question- what is the speed difference between non-ludicrous and ludicrous? I would like some factual data on this, is it 5%, is it 10%, etc.

[Jim]

I was a wise decision to offer the Double Special

[2LegoOrNot2Lego...]

Congrats indeed! The product really deserves this...

[SevSL02]

Thank you for helping us reach it! I'm sure you will love the rewards!

Feels great!

[JJ2]

Congrats of being funded!

I really like this product and might consider buying one.

[nerdsforprez]

Really fun to see this creation build in popularity. Really looking forward to the end result guys/gals. Hats off to your ingenuity and drive....

how much faster is ludicrous mode compared to normal mode?

how much faster is ludicrous mode compared to normal mode?

You can take a look at my video. The chassis is driving in Normal mode, until 0:29 when I switch to Ludicrous. After that I change to Slow. Not the best video, I know, but you can see the difference.

I am not really sure why it's a stretch goal, since it already seems to be in the prototype. Or did I miss something? Will it be even faster?! Ulta-Ludicrous?!

Once they introduced the concept of more than two speeds I was hoping to see that the voltage would be adjustable in increments of .1 or .5 volts. I may be wrong on this, but it seems like the voltage output can be set to any level, so why not give the user the ability to set a specific voltage on top of selecting presets.

[Jim]

I'll let Roni answer this one.

[DoomedACE]

Hi Roni,

I'm just curious, can you give us an update on what has happened between the end of the kickstarter campaign and now?

Thx!
