Hi again. I'm experimenting with my Lego Spike Essential set and I've noticed certain bug. I mean color sensor behaves bit strange. It works just fine for every color except green. I mean I can make it detect green color if I use EQUAL operator block and use direct comparison i.e. if (A color=5)... but it refuses to work with event block WHEN COLOR IS and sensor block IS COLOR. I wonder if it is a software or hardware problem/bug. Is it even a bug or a feature?...
Hi! considering buying this for school use. How many people can work on a project at once? are there multiple parts? Or would you say one small group at a time?
Hi! We normally have kids work in pairs for each box. One on the computer and one on the build. Kids take turns building every few steps, computer person also helps make sure build is correct. After building, both students take turns making code changes and modifying the project. Garry
Can I run the Spike Essential program/builds using the Spike Prime Kit? I have a 5 year-old, 8 year-old and a 10 year old and I want to get one Set that could be used for both programs. Many thanks!
Hi Gary, Great video thanks! I’m just wondering what hardware you’d recommend or find works best for using Lego Spike software? Are Android or iPads with keyboards good enough. Laptops a better option? Thanks in advance
Hi! I recommend laptops for easier typing in SPIKE python projects for older students. If you’re only teaching young kids then ipad is ok. Thanks for watching! Garry
Thank you so much for the video! I see how much you enjoy the set! And it inspires! Greetings from Poland and Ukraine! [AO] Education, Armin & Oleg Pokotylo =)
I have been looking everywhere on how to python code the 3x3 led matrix. Im starting to think it is only usable in the scratch software. If you know of anything or learn anything Id love to know. Ive always wanted to make a retro pixel art display and I think these 3x3 led essentials would do great for that project. As always I love all your videos. Keep up the great work and content!
Can you use Lego Spike to make a "freestyle" build, so the kids can use the equipment, motor etc. to program the motor how ever they want?
Yes absolutely! Garry

Hi! You will need to get the SPIKE Essential set to run the SPIKE Essential builds. Garry
@@CreatorAcademyAustralia thank you
Great video! Can you share what cameras and software you are using to created your videos.
Hi! I film with Canon 5D and edit with Adobe Creative Suite. Thanks for watching! Garry
Lego Spike Prime allows you to upload your program straight into the hub. Is this possible with Lego Spike Essential?
Hi! Unfortunately not, it needs to be streamed from the computer or tablet. Garry
@@CreatorAcademyAustralia Thanks for your confirmation. I thought so.

@@CreatorAcademyAustralia yes just primary up to year 6. Thanks
🎉💙
for the intro song what sing is it? Just Wondering
Please, any course on spike essential you can suggest for me as a teacher?
Thank you so much for the video! I see how much you enjoy the set! And it inspires! Greetings from Poland and Ukraine! [AO] Education, Armin & Oleg Pokotylo =)
Hi Oleg! Glad you enjoyed the video :) Garry
🎉💙
Is this also for adult who like building and programming?
Hi! For adults, check out SPIKE Prime. Garry
I like the spike essential set, but wish it had a distance sensor like the Wedo 2.
Hi! The SPIKE Essential set can use the Distance Sensor from SPIKE Prime with both Icon and Word blocks too :) Garry
🎉💙
how to save a program in spike essentials?
Hi! Spike Essential only allows streaming to the hub, so programs can't be saved on the brick. Garry
thanks for video.
Thanks for watching! Garry

I've been thinking of doing the same thing for a long time too. Did you ever find a nice solution?
🎉💙
What I am really concerned about is the intro. The crane thing 3D prints a building WITH PEOPLE IN IT
The music is very distracting mate
Your video background music is too loud that it’s so hard to listen what you are saying
music is irritating.
