Any plans for adding other hubs, maybe Mindstorms 515151? about pylgbst HOT 5 OPEN

Very useful is to collect whatever Hub reports itself. Here's my script to do that:

import json
import time
import unittest

from pylgbst.hub import MoveHub
from tests import log


class GeneralTest(unittest.TestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        super(GeneralTest, self).setUp()
        self.hub = MoveHub()
        time.sleep(2)
        log.debug("Created hub: %s", self.hub)
        log.warning("\n\n\n")

    def _describe(self):
        descr = {}
        for dev in self.hub.peripherals.values():
            descr[str(dev)] = dev.describe_possible_modes()

        with open("descr.json", "w") as fhd:
            json.dump(descr, fhd, indent=True)

Wow, that's a bit complex for me with the screen thing...

With PoweredUP hubs, usually you can take the Hub class and connect to it either using the device name, or knowing its MAC.
If you enable DEBUG level logging, the discovered devices would be printed into console, so you can find out what's the name and MAC of the hub. From there you can copy the MoveHub class and start changing it. For example, putting the DEFAULT_NAME of hubs of this kind.

Hope that helps you somehow.

Hello,
Unfortunately, I don't have access to that set, so I can't contribute such support.

Anyone with access to that hub can contribute it. It will be pretty much copying the code of MoveHub class and tailoring it to whatever onboard devices are standard for that hub.

I can be an advisor in that process.

Wow, thanks.
I’ll collect informations I have at first.

What worked for me is to use screen to connect and then ^C to get into the MicroPython environment of the hub. That’s really great but only possible for a connection by USB.

If you’d help me to build up a bluetooth connection to the new Hub that creates a serial port like /dev/ttyBluetooth then it would be awesome to use the screen-method like above.

Do you know how to create a serial connection to a bluetooth connected device?
