Technic Move Hub

class TechnicMoveHub(name=None, timeout=10000, connect=True)

LEGO® Technic Move Hub (set 42176, 42214, 42239).

This newer hub is found in the latest Technic Control+ sets. It requires a special password to update the firmware, so Pybricks cannot be installed on it. However, you can connect a supported hub running Pybricks to it and control its motors that way.

Parameters:

  • name (str) – Bluetooth name of the hub. If no name is given, the hub connects to the first Technic Move Hub it finds.

  • timeout (Number, ms) – How long to search for the hub. Choose None to wait indefinitely.

  • connect (bool) – Choose False to skip connecting. connect() can be called later to connect.

Raises:

OSError – If the connection attempt fails or times out.

awaitconnect()

Connects to the device. Only needed if you disconnected or initialized with connect=False.

Raises:

OSError – If the connection attempt fails or times out.

awaitdisconnect()

Disconnects the device.

Raises:

OSError – If disconnecting fails.

awaitdrive(speed, steering)

Drives the hub’s motor outputs at the given speed and steering.

Parameters:

  • speed (int) – Drive speed as a percentage (-100 to 100).

  • steering (int) – Steering as a percentage (-100 to 100). Positive values steer right. Values exceeding ±97 are clamped to ±97 to avoid pushing against the mechanical constraint.

Raises:

OSError – If the hub is not connected.
