How to create firmware for the spike hub

[OPSLeoGong]

I'm just curious, how would you code a lego hub? I know its probably extremely hard to do which it is, but I have nothing to do and I already do some scripting and coding with robotics so just wondering. I have VS code

We've already done the hard part of creating a firmware. 😄

It is open source, so if you want to experiment and modify it you are able to do so. See https://github.com/pybricks/pybricks-micropython/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md.

If you just want to make robots though, it would be much easier to just use Pybricks as-is. 😄

For getting started, we recommend https://code.pybricks.com. Once you get the hang of how it works, then you can use it with VS Code if you want using the pybrickdev command line tool. There are also some 3rd-party VS Code extensions for Pybricks, although we don't officially support any of those.
