- Visual Studio Code: A free programming development environment and extensions that will be used for writing code.
- ev3dev Software: ev3dev is a Debian Linux-based operating system that runs on several LEGO MINDSTORMS compatible platforms including the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3. ev3dev gives you the power to use Python 3 to control sensors, motors and pretty much everything else. It’s as easy as reading from and writing to a file.
- NOTE: I used a different guide to get this installed. I followed LEGO EV3 guide for the EV3 MicroPython documentation
Note: In order to connect to your EV3 Brick over Wifi, your EV3 Brick must be on the same network as your computer, and your network must support SSH. If you’re on a corporate or managed computer or network, this may be blocked.
