Top tip for anyone programming direct interaction with the Lego Powered Up Hub. While the protocol docs don't mention it, if you spam messages to the hub too fast, it crashes the hub without generating an error response. You need to buffer up your sends to spread them out over time.

What a great first day! Thanks to all who came to talk to us and ask us about L gauge. #legotrains #lego #modelrailway #nfrm24
