I've made little vehicle Tricky controlled by PS4 gamepad. The connection between vehicle and gamepad is without computer. I've used LMS-ESP32 board to do that.

Interesting!

Another car I've built is M.V.P.

Nice!!!

Well, really nice, but I am a bit lost: The LMS-ESP has all the bells and whistles - but the Spike hub has that as well, right? What exactly does the ESP board do, that the Spike can't? Sorry for asking such dumb questions - I am currently going backwards in time (playing currently with a TI99/4A) - so lost a bit the progress in the modern world. I see that the ESP board plugs into the Spike hub - and then does what exactly?

Anyway - looks really cool!!!

Best,
Thorsten

LMS-ESP32 connects to PS4 gamepad directly, which is faster. No running program on laptop/smartphone needed. Here you can read more possibilities:

"Here we go again"  ... thank you very much for your reply!

Yeap, that is my route - use an ESP32 board, kick out the damned cell phone - along with all that LEGO application software called C+/-/apps, and kick in direct hub to ESP communication - with a little help from BLE remotes.

Really nice!

All the best,
