SET 42176 - New hub

[alpha71]

Hello guys, I'd like to know (or maybe i simply missed some topic in the repository :! ) if you have any progress to control the new hub installed in the set 42176 (Porsche GT4) with Pybricks?
Thank you
Ale

There have been a few discussions about it already.

• [Feature] Support for new 2024 Hub #1986
• [Bug] Hub doesn't blink when trying to flash it #1964

It means you did not figure out how to make a firmware for this new hub! Then what about the work done by Benedettelli on it?

The new hub can still be remote controlled using the LEGO Wireless Protocol.

Ok, then in summary: the pybricks firmware cannot be installed due to the encrypting but it can be remote controlled using the Lego BT protocol with python! That's good in half coz if anyone wants use it in a robot challenge it I'll become difficult (I guess), unless have very good programming skills (as Benedettelli did!) What a pity!
