Smarthub
The Smarthub acts as a wireless connector among your device and the other
electronic parts, using Bluetooth Low Energy. It receives program strings from
thedevice and executes them.
The Smarthub has important features:
• Two ports to connect sensors or motors
• One light
• Power button
The Smarthub uses AA batteries or the supplementary Rechargeable Battery as
a power source.
The Bluetooth connection procedure between the Smarthub and your device is
explained in the WeDo 2.0 Software.
The Smarthub will use color patterns to signal messages:
• Flashing white light: It is waiting for a Bluetooth connection.
• Blue light: A Bluetooth connection is established.
• Flashing orange light: The power provided to the motor is at its limit.

Smarthub Rechargeable Battery
(supplementary item)
Here are some guidelines for the Smarthub Rechargeable Battery:
• To have optimal hours of play without the adaptor connected, fully charge
thebattery first.
• There is no special demand for a charging pattern.
• Preferably, store the battery in a cool place.
• If the battery is installed in the Smarthub and not used from one to two months,
recharge it again after this period.
• Do not let the battery charge for an extended period of time.
Medium Motor
A motor is what makes other things move. This Medium Motor uses electricity to
make an axle rotate.
The motor can be started in both directions, can be stopped, and can turn at
different speeds and for a specific amount of time (specified in seconds).
