wireless bluetooth connection to the LEGO hub.The LEGO 'Powered Up' hub (as supplied with trains or batmobile kit) may be also be used. A BLED112 dongle is required to provide the bluetooth connection on the computer. The S2Bot app allows you to control LEGO Boost or LEGO WeDo 2.0 from within your Scratch (or Snap!) project running on a desktop computer (Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook). The older WeDo (1.0) sensors used the PF connector, so they won't work at all.Using LEGO Boost / WeDo 2.0 / PoweredUp with Scratch and S2Bot I stress hub because the Spike App would also need to support the WeDo 2.0 tilt sensor, and that is not at all likely. Spike Essential has a tilt sensor integrated into the hub, so that's a wash, but you might conceivably be able to use the WeDo 2.0 motion sensor with the Spike Essential hub. The younger FLL Explore uses the Spike Essential or WeDo 2.0 set. Both Spike Prime and Robot Inventor have a tilt sensor (integrated into their respective hub) and a distance sensor (which is superior to the motion sensor), so I'm not yet seeing what you'd gain from using a WeDo sensor in FLL Challenge. (There are rumors that Robot Inventor may be allowed in the future, but since LEGO announced the cancellation of Robot Inventor, I'm not sure anymore.) Of those sets, only Spike Prime and Robot Inventor use the LPF2 connector which the WeDo 2.0 sensors used. So legally, you could use a WeDo sensor, butįLL Challenge is built around the Spike Prime and EV3 sets. With respect to this question, FIRST allows the use of any unmodified, genuine LEGO piece. Thanks for all the replies so far! I'll keep testing, but it looks like I'll have to source some of the older medium motors somehow.
