Do you also love the LEGO Powered Up system and their cool programmable interfaces? But what about the previous generation smart motors? Also known as LEGO Mindstorms. What if we could make them compatible and connect them to the LEGO Powered Up system? Well, we did just that!

Plug & Play
We have developed a smart Powered Up to EV3/NXT Adapter which is 100% compatible with all the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 and NXT and all the Powered Up hubs like LEGO Boost, LEGO WeDo, LEGO Spike, LEGO Control+ and more.
No electronics knowledge is needed and installation is as easy as connecting the power connector to the compatible LEGO power system. Connect a LEGO Mindstorms EV3/NXT motor/actuator to the adapter and you are ready to go. A big advantage is the ability to use the stronger motor to a single Powered Up port. You can control direction, power and speed by using the Powered Up remote control or the programmable interface on a mobile device.
Depending on the type your choose, the programmable interfaces on mobile devices and Powered Up remote control will detect the adapter as a train motor or normal motor. You can always program and speed control the motor with the official LEGO Powered Up app (or third party applications) without any limitation!
Expand without any border and have full control!
Compatibility & Use Cases
We have 2 types available. The type difference only matters if you are using the LEGO Powered Up remote control (in combination with the LEGO PU City hub 88009) or predefined touch interfaces in the official LEGO Powered Up app. “Pulse Control” acts like a normal DC motor (fully on/fully off) and “Speed Control” acts like a train motor (control the motor speed in various steps). You can always program the LEGO EV3/NXT motor/light without any limitation! No matter what LEGO hub or motor/light you use. If you plan on using it in custom LEGO models/custom software, you can create any behaviour you like and we advice getting the Speed Control version.
Important notes:
* You cannot use the EV3/NXT sensors with this adapter!
* You cannot use the integrated EV3/NXT motor encoders with this adapter!
To test if the Powered Up to EV3/NXT Adapter is working properly you can test it with our sample programs. You can find these and more information in the software tab above. Simply connect the cable to a LEGO PU Hub – port A and connect a LEGO EV3/NXT motor to the other end. When pressing the green play button the motor should rotate. Click to enlarge.
