The stand-alone battery box!

One (of the many) interesting things of Pybricks, is the support for custom sensor based on LEGO UART Messaging Protocol. I start to play with the Color & Distance sensor to learn this protocol (and to implement for my sensor) and this is a result:

I can confirm: No BLE support on Windows 7 Attention please: I changed the title of this topic in "Pybricks: alternative firmware for Powered Up device"

Firefox don't support Web Bluetooth API...

It flash, but required 8-10 minutes to do the entire operation

Chrome 85

Great work!

Yes Because this is a test made some weeks ago, when Pybricks was not yet public

Yeah! With v3.0.0a3 now it work ;)

I using the latest firmware: https://github.com/pybricks/pybricks-micropython/releases v3.0.0a2

@Lok24 Look here: https://github.com/pybricks/support/issues/50

Yes @Lok24 , I saw. I'm trying ... ;)

It's not yet available ;)

No, no Internet connection is required. You can save locally the page, and write code without problem ;)

Yes and no... ;) Or, in other words, not so clear and simple for many people, and not so in deep like we expected.

A clarification: In PU device (Control+, City, Boost HUB) there is not a storage memory like a "file system" (or "SPIFFS", like ha ESP8822/ESP32). "Saving a program permanently" mean the possibility to merge a custom main.py program with the Pybricks firmware and load together on the memory of the chip. I don't know what type of the "file system" feature has the Spike/Mindstorms HUB (eventually if present...), but in every case is not like a SD card inserted into EV3 brick. Yes, it's possible (at least with EV3)

Dancing lights with Pybricks ;)

I don't find any other reasons to make differencing the same motor, with only different color case... Otherwise, as I say, to NOT support this type of motor on specific HUB. Yes, this not have a much sense... I know...

@roeleman thank you for the information.

Sorry Nathan for my bad english :( Prevent the (Mindostorms) motors from running on the City HUB?

To lock down in City/Control+ Hub?

See this my old post: https://itlug.org/forum/topic/8850-novità-2019-education-spike-prime-boost/?do=findComment&comment=74947

Basically, it's the Spike Prime "Retail Edition". One more motor, one less sensor... I have no words.

I'm (official) disappointed
