EV3

The EV3 is LEGO's latest version of MINDSTORM Robotics, which can be used to build and program robots. Using LabVIEW, the JumboBooks tutorial goes through a step-by-step process to teach the basics of programming the EV3.

By the end of this tutorial, you will be able to make the EV3 run, record data, and do a variety of tasks with different LEGO sensors.

This tutorial starts off giving basic information on how to navigate the EV3's interface (as shown below).

The tutorial then uses some demos to show what a basic LabVIEW program looks like, and what it can do. For example, the first demo allows the user to run the motors in the presentation, and then open the VI in LabVIEW and play around with the code (shown below).

The tutorial then connects to a video included under the Videos tab, to teach the user how to create his or her own program. The tutorial then includes information about various LEGO sensors (shown below), and concludes with some challenges where the user puts together their own code.
