  1. Philo started following LPub3d & LDCad - asking for help, Lego Technic 8479, Powered Up and and 1 other

  2. Lego Technic 8479

    Philo replied to kancs3118's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms & Model Team

    Yes, both motors are almost completely equivalent, though performances of original 71427 motor were slightly better.

  3. Powered Up

    Philo replied to dimaks13's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms & Model Team

    This is extremely surprising, if only because the new Boost/Wedo 2 motors are named "...lpf2" (LEGO Power Functions 2): https://brickset.com/search?query=lpf2&scope=All
  4. Thanks for the photos/confirmations. The PCBs of your V1 receivers are slightly different from the old pre-V2 ones (photos on my remte receiver page), but all use the same LB1836M chip so performance should be very similar. As a side note, the number above the channel switch is most probably a date code of PCB manufacturing, well in sync with LEGO date code on the case: 36N5 PCB was done in 2015 week 22 31N6 PCB was done in 2016 week 23 20N7 PCB was done in 2017 week 10
  5. @kbalageAs far as I know V2 receivers are printed "V2" so most probably LEGO reverted to old design because of M-motors problems. Unfortunately I have no receiver from recent sets so I can't tell for sure. You could try to open yours, needs to be careful when pulling the circuit board but it's not very hard (see here http://www.philohome.com/pfnxtremote/pfnxtrem.htm). You can then see the type of motor driver used...

  8. Yes, the alkaline batteries voltage drops quickly as you use it, while rechargeable one has a much more stable voltage. So performance is similar. For more details, see http://www.philohome.com/batteries/bat.htm

  16. @kbalageAs far as I know neither thing is directly possible. One workaround is to use image import in LPub. You can draw a circle (PNG with transparent background) and overlay it with the model. You can also add a zoomed area (eg. from snapshot with LDView) to show local details. Not perfect, but...
