Lego Boost coding
How much acceleration can support Lego Boost motor Hub?
Then, how to modify speed in what it seems a fixed max item?
This questions led me to search new ways to program it
IDEs, Apps & Libbs to start programming for Boost:
Lego PoweredUp is the modern version of Lego Boost App, both by default the App that comes with your Lego set:
You'll program with blocks. Control the Hub via Widgets, they ŕe visual buttons in the tablet,but can´t work in autonomous way.
Guide for How-to use blocks:

In PoweredUp all proyect files can be found here:
Phone/Android/data/com.lego.poweredup/files/Activities/
Pybricks:
Boost can works in autonomous way not relaying on a Bluetooth connection with an App. Upload your code and run it.
Need to install Pybricks firmware om the Lego via Bluetooth
Itś based in Micropython
Coding in text is free, coding with visual blocks its 5 per month, 50 per life
Like MicroPython, Pybricks can run on just about every device that lets you update the firmware
Wanna try without subscribing? , yes it can be used without the bricks, just code in text.

Scratch:
Visual coding in blocks. Posibility to connect keypad to a tablet to move the hub using keys.

When exporting Scratch proyects they are saved like .sb3
What are scratch files, .sb3, what's this?
I opened in text editor and it looks like ciphered text.
Lego Boost with Python programming:
From Pc, download libs to interact with the Lego Boost via Bluetooth.
"Basically, to get the Move Hub to do things, you send it a command, as you might expect; however, to get information back from the Move Hub, you have to subscribe to the appropriate stream."
