Download and Install EV3 Python

Описание

EV3 Python allows you to use the world's most-taught programming language to program the world's most popular robot, the Lego EV3. This video indicates what files to download to be able to use EV3 Python, and explains the function of each file. It also shows how to use the free program Etcher to flash the EV3dev / EV3 Python image to a micro SD card.

Download the latest ev3dev disk image (this includes ev3 Python): www.ev3dev.org/docs/getting-started/

Download and install Etcher, a free, simple program that you will use to copy the ev3dev operating system to your micro SD card. www.etcher.io/

You need a program that will allow your computer to communicate with your EV3. For Windows users, the ev3dev team recommends PuTTY but I recommend and use in this video a free program called MobaXTerm Home Edition. Download MobaXterm Home Edition from here: mobaxterm.mobatek.net/download-home-edition.html If you prefer, download PuTTY instead: www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

MobaXTerm has a built-in text editor that you could use to write Python but it's better to use an 'Integrated Development Environment' (IDE) because that gives you extra features like auto-complete and debugging help. I recommend the Python IDE called PyCharm Edu because it's specially made for learners, it's free and it's available for several platforms (MacOS, Windows and Linux). Download it here: www.jetbrains.com/pycharm-edu/download
