Happy Holidays to all! And Thank You Sariel's Bricks & Pets for the amazing videos. I hope everyone can make the most of the holidays in these rough times!

i agree

That's really cool, maybe phone control isn't worse than physical after all, still not sure. Merry Christmas everyone!

Merry Christmas guys!

[@MathijsHeideveld86]

Its good to see the new functions, I e-mailed lego a while back and they could not give me any answers on when the servo motor could be controlled with the powered up app. And now all of a sudden they have it all in place. thanks for the run down :D

[@ernstbekker5061]

Super useful review. Thank you for that. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I hope Hamsters will find their Christmas gifts under the tree too!

To invert the motor direction you have to multiply your input by -1

[@jellin3607]

Can you elaborate?

[@gperm3710]

Hi Sariel I just want to thank you for everything. Every time I see a notification from your channel, my mood gets better. The quality of all your videos is very good and I rarely have to skip something (except speed builds, which aren't very interesting for me). Your book was the reason I didn't give my legos away when I got older. Merry Christmas to you and your family ;-)

[@searme]

Wow, thank you!

This is very helpful, as there are many modders that want to use the Control+ system, but don't have the technical know how of setting up custom controls.

Super clear instructions! Thanks!

You have to go to the white side and the first block is where you can use multiply hubs

Hey, cool video, but how do you connect your spike robot to your mobile phone ? I am trying to find a joystick with spike prime to connect and be able to control it like the EV3 but can't find it... if you can please help

[@tadkkdat4600]

You are brilliant!!! Thank You so much for that video.

[@mioszantas4462]

Control+ seems like a good step into motorized technic sets, although I'm going to miss physical controllers for them

[@nimbel]

Using third party controllers would be awesome

[@osmanpasha_diy]

But you can use train remote for them (both C+ and remote must be connected to a phone though)

[@Matthew_MBG]

With enough python knowledge you could build your own!

[@eatfarts3430]

This is revolutionary

[@SliivermanGamer]

How do I add honk and all the sound effects in lego control+ I have the buggy and non of em is working

[@JonExplainsStuff]

I saw that you had a few issues with the Powered Up app. I believe I have some solutions. 1) Using buttons: buttons either give an output of 1 or 0. This means that you have to use a math block to multiply the output by 100 to achieve motor or servo movement. 2) Inverting sliders: Again, there is a subtraction math block that you can use to invert the slider by telling the motor or servo to run at 0 - [slider] instead of just [slider]. 3) You mentioned having to calibrate the motors as servos before use with stops. You don’t actually have to do this at all. The first servo block on the motor blocks list allows you to move a servo (or normal motor acting as a servo) any number of degrees in either direction. The only caveat is that you have to do a little extra coding and tell the servo to return to the zero position (by making it go in the opposite direction for as far as it was moved) I have personally used all three of these on one of my MOCs and they really helped. I love your channel and all you do. Keep up the good work and I hope this helps! Have a great day!

[@jeremyk5342]

Instead of the subtraction block use the multiply block and multiply by -1

[@JonExplainsStuff]

@@jeremyk5342 Yep, that works too. Same result.

I hope LEGO will create more functions on this app.For me， the most important thing is that I want to design the widget shape and put a photo on the background because I want to make different kinds of styles for each MOC.And the dial could make it better than the Buwizz.:)

[@alex_hitman]

Thanks for the awesome tutorial, I will be doing this with my 42099! Suggestion: Can you make a controllable plane (I know you've done this before) with ground controls - Such as: Forwards and Back, steering, and maybe other cool functions?

[@searme]

I'm working on one right now.

[@marquezharris619]

Thanks for posting this tutorial! I just got this yesterday and i was confused on how to set it up

[@dmitrymilyokhin2797]

Powered Up app is really deep. It tries to unite all new electrics into one big family. I'm working on a thorough tutorial about its programming features and have gone a half way down the road which gets longer with every update. E.g. 3.5 brought us custom screen gamepads, the recent 3.6.0 made the app able to read data from the latest Spike angular motors and more. Beside hardware support and flashy obvious stuff there are things one couldn't expect from such a underscored application 'cos they are just not on the surface. Like thousands of available variables accessed in an array method. I can't wait for anything new the tech guys are going add the next time! :)

[@UltimateLegoProductions123]

Does it work with the latest mindstorms/spike?

[@gervaisbuilds6175]

Finally! A better control surface for C+. If I ever choose to buy any sets this will for sure help

[@TheNULLSystem]

Pave, thank you for de-cyphering the Lego Power Up app! I am building a MOC of the Land Rover Defender using Control+ hub and motors for steering, shifting and locking the differential, but I could not figure out the steering Block. I thought will be similar to the Scratch Block Coding from the SPIKE hub, but it is not!!! Why Lego cannot create a Web page under Support for Coding definitions and examples of their programmable Hubs? Cheers! Nikos

[@asadraja377]

Thank you for the great video, answered a lot of questions. Just wondering if all the control+ motors can be used as 'servos' then what purpose does the angular motor have? It's a bit redundant, isn't it?

[@searme]

I honestly don't know. More torque, maybe?

[@denisedunham1]

@@searme thats a good idea, i never thought of that lol

[@Tapitus-totalus]

The all *can* be used, but for example the XL motor is very inaccurate and can't do the job properly
