Hello and welcome to this video. First of all
merry christmas! I hope that all of you are fine, that you aren't sick and that everything is fine albeit the current situation.
Special thanks to Lok24 and Jetro for showing me this option. Today I want to talk with you about the option to control the lego boost sets/robots
the 17101 lego boost creative toolbox and the 75253 lego star wars boost droid commander
with the 88010 remote control. You can either get this remote control directly from LEGO for about 25 euros or dollars
or you can get it a bit cheaper on bricklink. It's possible to connect the remote control directly to the LEGO Boost robots, one at a time.
You don't have to have a smartphone or something similar inbetween to remote control them.
First I will show it with the older set. We will get into the pairing mode if we press the green buttons of both, the hub and the remote.
We have to press the green button of the move hub again to get into the remote control pairing process. Then it will pair with the remote control. First, press both buttons once and then the one of the robot a second time.
Then they should find themselves and they did that. Now both of them are connected. We can drive around. It's only fullspeed-control so we can't get faster or something like that. It will always give full power.
We can drive around, we can also turn the remote buttons around if it doesn't move into the direction we want. Then the direction would be inverted. But so far, we only control the main motor.
The motors that are included into the hub. But we can also control the motors that move the head, the motors on ports C and D if we have motors on both ports. We can do that by pressing the middle or the center button of the remote
for a short time. Then it will switch to the ports C and D and this one can control the motor. Of course, we can't do anything with this button because that would control the color & distance sensor and that wouldn't make any sense.
It's possible to move the head around and you can press the green button to switch back and then you can drive again.
That works pretty well. Make sure that your LEGO move hub is on the current firmware if it doesn't work for you.
You have to download the boost app or the powered up app and connect the hub to the app. Then it will make a firmware upgrade if it isn't on the latest version.
Then you can use the remote. I'll show that it works with the other robot as well, with R2D2.
To disconnect, you have to press and hold the center button until both lamps are off.
Now I can connect to R2D2. Same process, press both buttons once, then the button of R2D2 again.
Then it connects. This time it shows the color yellow, I'm not sure if you can see it. And you can drive around as well.
It already moves the head. It's configured for port C and D. You can press the center button and it will go back to A and B. Now we can drive around, just like with the other robot.
Anyways, this was it for this video. I hope that you liked it. Thanks for watching, see you in the next part. I'm currently making a powered up tutorial.
You can program the remote and the hubs and stuff like that in the powered up app. Make sure to check that out, thanks for watching and see you in the next part.
