Galaks Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) From my previous post you may learn, how to upgrade one of the Lego Boost models - make active hands for Vernie the robot . But there is one more thing in all these models, that, to my opinion, deserves an upgrade - not a model, but your smartphone (or tablet) produces all the sounds! The solution is simple - a small sized bluetooth speaker may do the trick. I was happy to find a Smart Cube Mono (P3001) which is very small ( 26.8x26.8x28.5 mm ) but plays quite a good (for my purpose) sound. On a picture https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VtIY5ApcFLZb6JgfLNQ9Tr2ZM5l0lILE/view?usp=drivesdk you may see, that this speaker is about 30% less in size, than a motor from Lego Boost set. For me, Smart Cube, definitely, worths the money, as, while not used in a Lego Boost model, it might be used just as a very lightweight bluetooth speaker. Of course, you need to install it somehow in a model, but this is easy - glue a thin Lego brick to the speaker, for example. Later I also have found bigger speakers (52x52x52 mm) with 5x5 lego plates already attached to every face of a cube.

Galaks Posted March 24, 2020 Author Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) Have been informed, that Bluetooth speaker, when connected to iPhone 6+ or iPhone 7+, blocks connection between Move Hub and the phone. This bug occures in Lego Boost app and Lego Powered Up app as well. Fortunately, iPhoneX connects to both the Hub and the speaker with no such a problem, just as my "android" devices (Samsung SM-T705 and Asus ZB602KL). Edited March 25, 2020 by Galaks Quote
