What is the Control Hub

The Control Hub is a new product from REV that combines the Robot Controller and Expansion Hub. Some new ports include USB, USB-C, and HDMI. Since there is no visual output, we recommend buying a small raspberry pi screen, if you plan to use the Control Hub interface directly.

How do I use it?

To set it up, just plug in a battery. Take out your DS Phone and go into Settings -> Connection Type -> and select Control Hub. Then click WiFi-Settings, and find the WiFi network. It looks like this: FTC-XXX. The password is password . We will change these both in the next step.

How do I access OnBot?

To access OnBot, go to this IP Address: 192.168.43.1:8080. For a normal RC/Expansion Hub setup, you go to 49 instead of 43. To change your WiFi network name and password, go to Manage, and change them. Each time you change your network name or password, you will lose connection and will have to rejoin to the new network/with the new password.

How to install an app in OnBot

After downloading the APK above, go into OnBot, scroll down to Update Robot Controller and select the APK. Then, hit Upload. This will take a few minutes, but once it is done, everything should be working.
