Is my opinion too. Few weeks ago I was talking with few friends who jumped into technic and where looking for alternatives for powering the MOCs and I strongly discouraged them to do it by BuWizz. I feel sorry, but this is my final opinion after many opportunities and absolutely squeezing my patience.

I have indeed the same issue than @mudseason. Quite often, after calibration, wheels turn que violently and get stuck into that position. The calibration goes always fine, it's just before finishing it.

That's truly amazing!!! Many thanks for the huge effort and for sharing with the community. It does speak very well from you.

I tried many configurations already. I got one working but went south when found that I had to update the bw with the latest firmware. Now, I have another -known- issue that's that when I start driving, the steering turns abruptly and loses the center. The gearbox doesn't work at all. All despite correct calibration.

Thanks!!! I also found a bug in the updated up (didn't have such problem in the previous version). I'm driving a model with 2 bw3 units, gearbox, steering and differential control. The driving and the differential control work just fine. The gearbox and the steering have no problem for the calibration, but once I try to drive the model, those controls are dead. I re-made the setup and restarted midweek and app few times, but still the problem persist. Any idea? Many thanks in advance!

That's cool, but I couldn't find it, sorry. Could you please provide a direct link?

Cannot agree more...

Indeed, I turned them on, with no change. Now, before answering, I re-tried and found that everything is fine! Thanks a lot!

Hello! I found out that in the last version, the powered up app misses most of the functions. Moreover, in the PDF many fonctions are described, but most of them are absent in the actual app. Has someone any idea dice when this is happening? Any idea how long will last? I heard some time ago about about a roadmap for powered up, bit I don't find anything clear about that... Cheers, H.

I think the set is cool. Is really big and seems fun to play with. The price is also cool... But not for that set. For me this set is a no-way. That's not the type of Lego set that I want from Lego, therefore, even being insignificant, I won't feed the idea for TLG that I'm ok with the direction that goes with these kind of sets. For me TLG is the heavy tow truck, the Airbus... Just to mention few of the last ones. Those are a demonstration of how fun and cool a Lego set can be!

I'm not quite familiar with all this stuff. This is indeed my first attempt off expiring programming in python. I started with Pybricks , but I have still a huge amount of info to understand! ;) Yes, I went through the article and also contacted Anton. Apparently the communication is possible at this moment through the Lego app, but not yet possible using Pybricks.

So, I got my LMS-ESP32... but I found that, unfortunately, the connection between hubs and a ps4 controller is only possible -by now, at least- using the Lego software, but not PyBricks. So, I'll be patient if that changes with time... ;) You can control several hubs at the same time, indeed. Just use different tabs, controlling one hub with each one.

This is what I often think about expensive sets. As you pointed out, the price tag is now reaching a limit that makes cheaper to just buy the extra pieces and build it by your own. One year ago, when the where retiring the 42100, I just got a second one (second hand) just for the pieces and electronics. That set is indeed known to be among the best (if not the best) in terms of electronic's costs. For me, the set looks interesting and I would love to build it, but the price is completely out of my limits.

For me, TLG in terms of everything related to programming is a dead end. It's a real pity that they end like that, but as you pointed out, it's just impossible to move forward. The retirement of the Mindstorms line was just the signal to move into Pybricks. They're still limitations, but it way better way to program your stuff.

It's just going backwards. I am happy that I switched to PyBricks... :)
