All the current motors are very controllable (absolute position, speed, etc).

They can be hooked up to:

- A battery box, with simple buttons.

- A hub, controlled via bluetooth (protocol is documented, and there are some libraries).

- A hub that can be programmed (spike).

- A raspberry pi, with an official hat (build hat). This also comes with a python library.

I'm actually pretty happy with these motors. The only downside is that the technic sets are meant to be controlled with an app.

On several laptops already, I got a blank screen at boot, after some updates. Looking for fixes usually gave me "purge nvidia-*". The way i see it these days is that you just have to be lucky.
