Running Your Code

Downloading your code to the actual EV3 Brick is one of the most important part of coding your robot, because how else would you get the code from the workspace to the robot? This tutorial will explain how to download your code to the robot quickly and efficiently.

Tutorial

To upload your code to the robot, simply click one of the download buttons in the bottom-right hand corner of the workspace as shown below:

As you can see, there are three buttons that will download the code to your EV3 robot. Each of them downloads your code to the robot, but each in a different way. The first one is the button with the arrow pointing downward, or the download button. The second one is the button with the play button in the middle of it, or the download and run button. The last one is the button with the play button surrounded by parentheses, or the run selected button. Each button is explained below:

Download Button- This button only downloads the code to the EV3 and does not run the code. It stores it in a folder in which you can access and run later on the Brick itself.
Download & Run Button- This button not only downloads the program to a folder inside the EV3, but it also runs the code as well. (Meaning that it starts the code)
Run Selected Button- This button does not download the code but runs any code that has been highlighted in blue. For example, if you highlight five blocks of code in your entire program, it will only run those five blocks, not any of the other blocks.

This is all you need to know in order to download or run your code. Just three, tiny buttons make it super simple to download or run your code, or both!
