Do you also love the LEGO Powered Up system and their cool programmable interfaces? But what about the older LEGO Power Functions (train, servo*) motors/lights you have still laying around? What if we could make them smart and connect them to the Powered Up system? Well, we did just that!
Plug & Play
We have developed a smart Powered Up to Power Functions Adapter which is 100% compatible with all the LEGO Power Functions (train, servo*) motors/lights and all the Powered Up hubs like LEGO Boost, LEGO WeDo, LEGO Spike and LEGO Control+. This adapter makes it also possible to connect your Power Functions motors/lights to 3th party devices like the BuWizz 3.0 Pro.
No electronics knowledge is needed and installation is as easy as connecting the power connector to the compatible LEGO power system. Connect a LEGO Power Functions (train, servo*) motor/light to the adapter (top side!) and you are ready to go. A big advantage is the ability to connect multiple devices 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 the motor/light behavior without any limitation via the official LEGO Powered Up app (or third party applications).
Expand without any border and have full control!
* To power the LEGO Power Functions Servo Motor it is required to use our USB Power Box – PF/PF in parallel.
* You cannot power a Power Functions IR receiver with this adapter! Contact us for such custom cable.
To test if the Powered Up to Power Functions 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 motor to the other end. When pressing the green play button the motor should rotate. Click to enlarge.

The adapter cable works perfectly. Installed it in a motorized parcel train with two engines. The wagon is very easy to steer. You can find more information on my YouTube channel STEINeZEIT:
