Nicely done!
-
Awesome! Thank you lol
-
Very nice! I will tried it on my next build.
-
Awesome! Attach an filament extruder and you have a 3D printer! Excellent! Btw what language did you program it with?
-
That looks awesome! What libraries are you using with Andruino to control the PF servos and how do you connect them to the ESP8266? Nikos

Awesome design. Looking Fujiwara to a video. Nikos

Excelent!
-
Awesome!

Ingenious! Bravo! Nikos

One of the most realisticly operating MOC I have seen! Using gears or the crankshaft to manipulate the air valve is just brilliant! Cheers, Nikos

Hi! For PF motors I use the BuWizz which has 3 power settings and basic remote control. I stop using the Lego battery boxes for PF MOCs. For PU hubs I use Eneloop Pro batteries as I like to use the Lego PU app. for custom coding. Cheers! Nikos

[MOC] Classic Police Car

Well done! Great photos with real backgrounds btw. -
Take a number! I am also disappointed with the release of PU (Powered Up) code without any documentation. I was greatly helped by https://racingbrick.com/powered-up-code-block-guide/. Using the older system PF (Power Functions) the best motor for steering is the Servo Motor (88004). No need for any programming.

Hi Peter, I am in a similar path with my Defender conversion to full RC. I need also to work on my steering as it is not as "responsive" as I would like it but I found a way to make the App. (3.6.0) to calibrate the Angular (SPIKE) position motor so it always start at the center. I created a quick built animation of this configuration below: I hope this helps. Nikos

That's an amazing built. Well done! Nikos

Adam don't be sorry! Actually thank you for pointing out my ... misinformation so I don't get a call from Land Rover (Tata...) about their new top secret car Discovery lol. Thanks again! Nikos PS. I am updating the name on all the sites

Wow! That's one awesome truck! I like the way you packaged everything and little details, like using cylinders over the half shaft a else to look more realistic. I need to get me the air valves with the axle through. The regular valves are painful to operate with any motor....
-
You are welcome! As my RC Discovery project progresses I will put more updates. The plan is to use 4 motors; steering, power motor, gear motor and a center diff motor. I think, I can fit all them and the hub! We will see.... Nikos

Thank you! I use a variable "a" for the gear number. Zero is for neutral, when you press the "up" button then the variable "a" becomes "a+1" and the button function rotates the gear selector 90 degrees. When you press "down" button then the variable "a" becomes "a-1" and the button function rotates the gear selector -90 degrees. Then I use a PU dial to display variable "a". I hope this helps. Nikos

I am building a RC version of the Lego Land Rover Defender (42119) and it will include a 3 speed sequential Transmission. It will be operated from the Powered-Up Lego app. using 3 buttons and it includes a dial that shows the selected gear. I am using a Technic Hub (88012) and a Technic Medium Angular Motor (45603). The Remote Control has 3 buttons; up-shift, down-shift and neutral. When the application is started it calibrates the shifting axle to be at the "neutral" gear and sets the angle to 0. Pressing the up-shift button will engage the 1st gear, then if pressed again the 2nd until it reaches the 3rd gear. If you press the up-shift button more times it will not move the shifting mechanism but will make a "clanking" noise. Pressing the down-shift button will sequentially shift to the next lower gear until it gets to neutral where again will make a "clanking" noise trying to go lower. To the right of the 3 buttons there is a dial that indicates the gear is selected. [Media]

Lol! I would never thought of that parallelism until you said it. Awesome! Btw. My Roller Coster after only a year could not make it all the way to the chain pickup point. The solution was a clean cloth lightly sprayed with Plexus and cleaned all trucks.

A lot of information on the SPIKE hub can also be found at: https://education.lego.com/en-us/product-resources/spike-prime/teacher-resources/video-tutorials

I will skip this set as others mentioned is not as detailed, functional and interesting as the other supercars. Too bad as Ferrari is my favorite markey.

Maybe the permanent magnets on the stator have weakened with time so the stator magnetic field is less than original.
