How it works?
Same VLL as Micro Scout Torch, but the light comes from a Powered Up hub, which can blink to the millisecond where a browser cannot.
You flash the hub once with Pybricks (MicroPython) and a tiny listener program. This page connects over Bluetooth and sends one-byte commands. The hub makes the VLL waveform and blinks its own LED, or an 88005 Light, straight at the sensor.
Point the hub's LED at the sensor (red reads best, a dim room helps), then tap a command or hold Motor to keep it running. You set this up once; the Flash Force mark above shows the steps again. Needs Chrome or Edge, desktop or Android. iOS Safari has no Web Bluetooth.
