  My powered up system is giving me problems.
1. there seems to be only the fastest speed available.
2. there is only power when I keep the button on the remote pressed down.

Is there anyone with answers?

Are you using the app or the remote?

The remote. Does that make a difference?

Yes, it does. With the app you can program the remote to do what you want.

Powered Up is fun for kids to play with but frustrating for adults to learn how
to use, even if you have experience with traditional programming languages.

I suppose it might not be so bad if you played with robotics kits when you were
younger, but personally I find coding easier than drag-and-drop programming.

The hardware is simpler, though. You don't need a separate infrared receiver
anymore; the hub serves as both a power source and a bluetooth receiver.

And unlike infrared waves, radio waves can travel through solid objects, so you
can build around the hub and it still works.

Can it be done without the app? We don't have a smartphone. That's why
we bought the remote.
