  1. We had to drop support for the Lego Technic Powered Up hub, since it's not our product.
  2. Delivery started for BuWizz bricks AND motors, they are being sent according to the order date, earliest ones first.
  3. We just received the housings today and the final assembly is starting this week.
  4. HW and mostly FW is ready for such advanced functionality, but first we need to properly support basic driving and return to center.
  5. Of course you can use all 6 ports at once. We plan to add additional options such as rotating axles by exact amounts (like 90° for geraboxes), limiting range (for LAs) the ability to read motors such as sensors, etc...
  6. How about build a factory/production/sorting line?
  7. Instructions are posted literally a few replies before yours, just take 3 minutes and go through replies...
  8. Quite weak, the brake discs have bad pin clucth power. BUT adding an axle with a stop might help.
  9. Of course the BuWizz has low voltage, balancing, charging, overcurrent, etc... safety circuit. Yes, there is no more DC/DC converter for ports, the only DC/DC converter left is one for charging the battery.
  10. BuWizz 3.0 uses a 3S custom Lithium Polymer battery with a total capacity of 2300 mAh. This way we no longer have to rely on the DC/DC converter to increase voltage, therebye reducing power losses and increasing available currents.
  11. No, that's just chassis flexing, just like with the Unimog.
  12. Good question I've been experimenting a bit to find a good balance between performance and reliability and settled on a 1,1 A PTC fuse, which is higher compared to original 0,9 A Lego RC motor uses. Anything higher and you risk of burning out the motor when stalled. The motor can draw over 4 A when stalled at 12V, but the maximum constant current provided by this fuse is around 1,5 A, so at 12 V, you're looking at some 18 W of power.
  13. As mentioned before a BuWizz 2.0 can fully one of the motor's power. You can of course use two, but you may run into power cut outs at high accelerations.
  14. There will be a beta test first and once things are working ok, the app will be released as an update to the exisiting version.
  15. You can't control PF motors (except the servo) as servo motor since they don't have any position sensors. Only (some) Powered Up, Spike, boost, etc... motors have that ability.
  16. That's not an easy to answer question, it totally depends on the types of motors, their loads, etc... But from tests I just made today a single 3.0 can fully power 2 of our motors + steering + LED without issues when accelerating hard.
  17. Buwizz app no longer supports the technic hub, it seems that Lego's firmware updates changed the communication protocol and there is no documentation in order to fix it...
  18. I know what my next PC "build" will be. Thank you for the inspiration.
  19. I'm using hard shock absorbers on the first and second axle, third one uses soft ones, so mine may lie a bit lower, so the drive axle angles are lower too.
  20. Well, I have yet to have a failure at my end, though I'm using a different differential and gear ratio. The location of the axle and joint is irrelevant, since they all move in perfect parallel - all links are the same length - 9 studs The maximum difference in height between axle and chassis is 1 stud in positive or negative and U joint and the CV joints have enough slack to absorb the difference in length.They are also posiitoned and centered to be at minimum angle as possible. I don't know what to add, again my model configuration had no issues even after recording the model outdoor in the sand and such, I can send you the photos of the CV joint if you are interested.
  21. I talked with Lego support, they logged the quality issue regarding part 71708 and they will look into resolving it.
