@Mr Hobbles PF2 was lego's internal name, the range was branded as PoweredUp! hence why the community refers to it that way. I gave up on my blockly version as @Bliss is making a better version.

@Bliss As you have now noticed, the Wedo 1.0 is not a USB Serial device but a HID device which overrides the need for a driver and so you need the lower lever python to control it. The tilt sensor is not a true analogue device, it will only return 4 different values. As to the Switches, they are all "Analogue" as you have said. they all will return a variable result. Now for identification you have to be careful as if you connect multiple in parallel the initial non pressed reading value goes up because resistors in parallel have a reduced value. Half the value of R1 + half the value of R2 and so on even for the grey buttons

As far as I am aware, the only real difference is the addition of the resistor for identification.

Yes, The resistor is so that the software can work out which tool is connected. I remember seeing the data somewhere but cant even find it on Philo's home Here is some basic info on the CM touch sensors. https://www.plastibots.com/index.php/2008/12/10/554/

There are actually 4 touch sensors with different values. The grey touch and the 3 different Cybermaster touch sensors have different values so cm sensor reading is analog not 0/1 I now have the barcode truck complete but need to make new cables and the included motors are fubar

It is because the whole time of the VLL/IR and Radio is based on the 2400 baud rate. Any faster and the pulses loose timing and the definite cant understand the signals. Its the same as if someone is talking to you way to fast and you cant understand what they are saying.

LOL, he already knows and has the samples on his discord Still no response I thought I had made progress here Try focusing on the beep function of the RCX and getting that to trigger on the cybermaster

I'm writing a book on repairing and restoring 90's era lego electronics. @Bliss No worries, you are doing a better job with yours than I did with mine.

It was supposed to be have not got the space

I have not got space for a 100” screen otherwise I would

You should be able to scroll the workspace to see more without zooming out

This is interesting thanks, I was wondering about adding circuit diagrams to my book

I also ran a test. While Both tower and chassis flash, IDE reports no response.

I've always wanted a virtual interface b like the old software so started work on one.

thanks

Wow, looks so much cleaner than my attempt. Sorry having a brain fail moment. Is the BT adapter acting as a bridge to pas the raw data from the interface to the host computer?

You can’t if you don’t have a serial adapter for the phone

This Is the problems I found with my cross platform offline version. Trying to build the online version ment rolling out webusb which has its issues. @Bliss Thats why I chose to only open the port when running code otherwise you get access blocks/crashes. As bliss once said, my version is a dependency nightmare as its built for python and trying to find and install the correct dependencies in a pain and only getting worse as I add more function. In order to access the devices I am using both pyserial to access devices using a USB adapter but then have to use a the low level pyusb to access devices using PID and VID USB devices as they don't have working USB drives. A point of note about the Wedo1.0 hub - Apparently it doesn't act as a typical serial device but instead acts as a USB HID device. Even with the dependencies and knowledge I still cant get the USB tower to operate.

I found out why the tilt sensor wasn't returning the values I was expecting. It is not a gyro, it is just a few pins that get shorted with a bearing. Once I discovered this the reading make sense.

Nice, I'm having so much trouble trying to get code "samples" to work that I have accieved a grand total of 0 progress since adding Wedo 1.0

https://github.com/Ajb2k3/ULI This is my offline version and so far I have 2 interface B, 1 RCX and WeDo 1.0 all operating from the same program. This unfortunately (I have just learned) uses Blocking commands which cause delays in the response of the program and the Interface B. I'm looking to implement non blocking asynchronous code but my brain has stopped braining. A broker is a light weight software that just receives and transmits messages between devices. It doesn't act on the message just sends them on. I still have to suss out implementing the Cybermaster, spybot and others but apparently with spybot then you get PF.

I actually have on my desk a stand alone MQTT setup that doesn’t need external web access. It runs all the software on a single raspberry pi 4 with just local network only. I built it for testing M5Stack sensors and was built from a guide in the raspberry pi magazine

I failed all my exams except for science. I resat my English and passed it 10 years after leaving school.
