#45678 SPIKE Prime is an education-focused product aimed at ages 10+. I ultimately decided to do a little of each: this article is organized into sections exploring what the set offers for students and educators, a comparison with other LEGO Programming sets, the experience programming with the LEGO Education Spike app (and related LEGO Mindstorms app), and a short discussion of LEGO storage options for a set like this.įor a complete list of compatible Powered Up hubs, motors, and sensors, check out Brick Architect’s Guide to LEGO ‘Powered Up’ System.įor LEGO Storage ideas, check out the free Brick Architect LEGO Storage Guide ebook. I also struggled to decide what I was reviewing in the first place - the specific selection of parts in the set, the app that brings it to life, or the broader Powered Up ecosystem? I feel you will have issues with any robot platform.I have been working on this review for more than a year, most of that time learning about the Powered Up components included in the set. It is very easy for beginners to use and I begrudgingly appreciate that Lego is constantly updating it to make it better. I know it sounds like I don’t like Spike, but overall I do. We are upgrading because this version is supposed to make turning more accurate. I also made a “Move” MyBlock in Spike 3 that incorporates both SPEED and DISTANCE (in CM) that works just fine. My suggestion to those who are ready to switch to Spike 3 is to copy your MyBlocks (and any cool code) in Spike 2 to a PowerPoint slide show before you switch so you will have them to refer to as you re-make your blocks.

LEGO SPIKE PRIME SOFTWARE

You are currently not able to have both software options on your computer, Spike 3 updates your Spike Legacy to Spike 3.

LEGO SPIKE PRIME INSTALL

(PANIC!) You need to uninstall Spike 3 and install Spike Legacy. If you are using Spike 2 on Windows, you will not be able to access your programs in Spike 3 nor will you even be able to open them if you downloaded Spike 3.

LEGO SPIKE PRIME UPDATE

This should be in CAPS on the update suggestion that comes across your screen now: DO NOT UPDATE TO SPIKE 3 IF USING SPIKE 2 CURRENTLY FOR A COMPETITION. We compensated for the inaccuracy of the Spike turns by using the gyro, so having these issues was frustrating/terrifying when the gyro wouldn’t reboot. We did have some weird issues with the gyro, they were similar to the issues with the EV3 gyro. We just finished our FLL season with the Spike 2 software and did fairly well. We switched from EV3 to Spike Prime because EV3 was no longer going to be supported with updates and Spike is much easier to build with. Thank you for your expertise and comments! We are longtime users of Lego Robots at competitions.

LEGO SPIKE PRIME BLUETOOTH

But SPIKE 3 has changed and you will have the bluetooth download capability. If you need to downgrade to SPIKE 2, you will need to contact LEGO Education Tech Support at If you were using the SPIKE Prime web app, you were not able to use bluetooth, just the USB cable.

It is NOT recommended to switch back and forth between SPIKE 2 and 3.

So remember programs saved with SPIKE 2 will not be able to be opened with SPIKE 3.

Remember once you change from SPIKE 2 to SPIKE 3, your SPIKE 2 programs will not run on the newest software.

You get to decide when you would like to change apps. When it is released, look for faster program execution and easier progression from Scratch to Python.

Python WILL NOT be available at launch time but is promised to come soon.

If you are in the middle of competition season, you might want to hold off updating to SPIKE 3.

I have heard from a teacher that there is a glitch with the new software when it comes to the color sensor not staying connected with the REFLECT function. LEGO has provided this handy chart to help teachers decide when to make the transition to the new software. If you are using the web version of SPIKE App 2, use this link. Make sure you click on the blue box and select “Launch Web App.” If you using the web version of SPIKE App 3, use this link. SPIKE 2 App (name change: LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Legacy App v. SPIKE 3 App (official name: LEGO® Education SPIKE™ App v.

Greater capacity to support larger user programs.

One of the nicest features this app will offer is a faster wireless hub connection on any device (Windows, Mac, iPad, Android, and Chromebook).

LEGO SPIKE PRIME UPGRADE

This app will upgrade both the firmware on your hub and the software. This is an entirely new app for both the web software and the downloadable app. Officially this app is called the LEGO® Education SPIKE™ App v.

SPIKE 3 will be used for both SPIKE Prime and SPIKE Essential. With the addition of the SPIKE Essential, SPIKE 2 was released.

The first release was solely programming SPIKE Prime. This will be the third version of the software app since SPIKE Prime was released in January 2020. LEGO Education released a new SPIKE App on December 1, 2022.
