LEGO® Powered UP App coding example: Report axle position
For this example, you will need:
- Hub – any hub from Hubs compatible with LEGO® Powered UP App list will work
- Motor – any motor that has speed sensor from Motors compatible with LEGO® Powered UP App list will work
Step 1: Add coding blocks
- Flow block – Start
- Motor block – Run the motor for a specified time, select hub port A, select power 27, select time 1
- Motor block – Report axle position, select hub port A
Take care not to move the motor axle. Report axle position output should be 0
Step 2: Setup motor and hub
- Connect the motor to port A
- Connect the hub to a device that runs the Powered UP App
Step 3: Run the program. Observe that the motor is spinning at full power, for 1 second, the motor axle should rotate 1 time. Observe, that Report axle position output has changed to 365
