Posted August 7, 201212 yr Hello, I'm seeing the WeDo USB Hub 9581 (img) and I'm wondering if it can work with the new PF Servo motor (img) By work I mean if it can be proportionally controlled. Also, not knowing well that WeDo part, I wonder what alternative do you have for controlling it other than what LEGO offers you. In Mindstorms NXT for example, if you don't like NXT-G, there are alternative firmwares like RobotC, leJOS, … How does the WeDo thing work?

August 11, 201212 yr The WeDo software allows for power levels of the attached motors so in theory it might work. Unfortunately I'm on holiday so I can't test it right now. The snag is that the WeDo hub is powered by a USB port so the power output is only 5V. I'm not sure if the Servo would respond at such a low voltage. There are other ways of programming the WeDo system, the most well known being Scratch. Other options include Cherp and Squeek.
