  Soós Balázs: Hello everybody!
  Is there anybody who has experience with Lego distance sensor 45604 (spike prime)?

  Does it work with technic hub as a distance sensor in the pro app? See pic what I mean.

    Lénárd Pásztor Hi! We not tested with spike prime devices, so there is not support for it yet. It is definetly on our todo list, it will happen after the first production release.

    Soós Balázs Ok, thanks, good news. Spike prime hub have a huge pozential, if you could implement it.
    Did you mean the pro app official release?

We see the new stile mindstorms and spike prime. First we will support devices what is useable with other lego hubs, later we going to support the hubs too. These hubs works so differently than the others, it will take time, to use them in a right way.

    Soós Balázs Yes, I can imagine the implementation of the 6port programmable hub could be a long Challenge..

    you mean that the support of new mindstorm/spike prime sensors with pu connector are available after the pro software release, but without coding? Just for showing the sensor data? I plan to implement the distance sensor above to my Moc, that’s why I am interested

This is the big difference. Probably these hubs also can work the "remote control" way, but they speak a very different protocol, so implement that it will take time.
    About sensors, and devices: if we support them in sbrick pro, of course you can code with them too.  less

    Soós Balázs Yes, exactly. As I know they could work with remote control, based on some ytube video- i do not have these hardware.

    What I meant huge potential, but a long challenge: if you could run a code directly on your mindstorm hub which control the other hardware/not mindstorm hubs, without using your smartphone/pc processor. thats sthing i've never seen..
    you mentioned above that " these devices like tilt and distance sensor support also enters to the SBrick app too soon, but without coding, so with limited functionality."
    shall i ask what do you mean?  less

    Lénárd Pásztor It is a question that these type of hubs have the function to connect to other hubs (porbably just other LEGO hubs), but I see the pybrick project which loggks promising.

Maybe we can use their firmware too to make them compatible. For controlling in general without a mobile device I have a very different idea which could be a new product in future.
    With limited functionality I mean that you can use sensors with the profile designer circuits feature, because it is no programming in the SBrick app.  less

    Soós Balázs Great to hear there are some new ideas in the pocket

    will we be able to adapt sensors using the previous style UserInterface, the webpage Profile Designer, but not in the Sbrick Pro app? But it means only Pf hardwares Controled by Sbrick, doesn’t it? Like wedo1 sensors.. Or is there any plan for adapt pu hardwares to simple sbrick app/profile designer too?  less

    Soós Balázs ok, thanks. If the hubs internal gyro means the controling smart phone/tablet gyro, I understand the system...
    in other case the description in the sbrick app is not so clear..
