My suggestion to those who are ready to switch to Spike 3 is to copy your MyBlocks (and any cool code) in Spike 2 to a PowerPoint slide show before you switch so you will have them to refer to as you re-make your blocks.
You are currently not able to have both software options on your computer, Spike 3 updates your Spike Legacy to Spike 3.
Lego spike install#
(PANIC!) You need to uninstall Spike 3 and install Spike Legacy. If you are using Spike 2 on Windows, you will not be able to access your programs in Spike 3 nor will you even be able to open them if you downloaded Spike 3.
Lego spike update#
This should be in CAPS on the update suggestion that comes across your screen now: DO NOT UPDATE TO SPIKE 3 IF USING SPIKE 2 CURRENTLY FOR A COMPETITION. We compensated for the inaccuracy of the Spike turns by using the gyro, so having these issues was frustrating/terrifying when the gyro wouldn’t reboot.
We did have some weird issues with the gyro, they were similar to the issues with the EV3 gyro. We just finished our FLL season with the Spike 2 software and did fairly well. We switched from EV3 to Spike Prime because EV3 was no longer going to be supported with updates and Spike is much easier to build with. Thank you for your expertise and comments! We are longtime users of Lego Robots at competitions. But SPIKE 3 has changed and you will have the bluetooth download capability. If you need to downgrade to SPIKE 2, you will need to contact LEGO Education Tech Support at If you were using the SPIKE Prime web app, you were not able to use bluetooth, just the USB cable. It is NOT recommended to switch back and forth between SPIKE 2 and 3.So remember programs saved with SPIKE 2 will not be able to be opened with SPIKE 3. Remember once you change from SPIKE 2 to SPIKE 3, your SPIKE 2 programs will not run on the newest software.You get to decide when you would like to change apps. When it is released, look for faster program execution and easier progression from Scratch to Python. Python WILL NOT be available at launch time but is promised to come soon.If you are in the middle of competition season, you might want to hold off updating to SPIKE 3. I have heard from a teacher that there is a glitch with the new software when it comes to the color sensor not staying connected with the REFLECT function.
LEGO has provided this handy chart to help teachers decide when to make the transition to the new software. If you are using the web version of SPIKE App 2, use this link. Make sure you click on the blue box and select “Launch Web App.” If you using the web version of SPIKE App 3, use this link. SPIKE 2 App (name change: LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Legacy App v. SPIKE 3 App (official name: LEGO® Education SPIKE™ App v.
Lego spike upgrade#
This app will upgrade both the firmware on your hub and the software. This is an entirely new app for both the web software and the downloadable app. Officially this app is called the LEGO® Education SPIKE™ App v. SPIKE 3 will be used for both SPIKE Prime and SPIKE Essential. With the addition of the SPIKE Essential, SPIKE 2 was released. The first release was solely programming SPIKE Prime. This will be the third version of the software app since SPIKE Prime was released in January 2020. LEGO Education released a new SPIKE App on December 1, 2022.
