This project contains simple robot examples for the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 intelligent brick. The API uses the ev3dev Python module.

You can use these examples to get started with your ev3dev self-driving robot.

• First have a look at the Getting Started with ev3dev for how to use ev3dev https://www.ev3dev.org/docs/getting-started/
• The examples uses the python-ev3dev2 Python library which is are already bundled with the ev3dev image. https://ev3dev-lang.readthedocs.io/projects/python-ev3dev/en/stable/
• For building the robot follow the instruction for the Educator Vehicle from robotsquare, https://robotsquare.com/2013/10/01/education-ev3-45544-instruction/

Make sure that the motors are connected to the following ouput pins:

• Right motor (EV3 large motor) => Output pin A
• Left motor (EV3 large motor) => Output pin B

Some of the examples may require the following sensors:

• Ultrasonic sensor
• Gyro sensor
• Color sensor
• Infrared sensor

Examples:

• run_robot.py - is an autonomous robot example.
• run_robot_remote_control.py - is an example where you can steer the robot with IR remote control.

Note: The main logic is stored in the robot package. To run these examples you need to copy the 'robot' package as well.

run_robot.py is a simple example for autonomous self driving robot. Copy the example to the EV3 brick an make the script executable.

The example uses the following sensors:

• Ultrasonic sensor
• Color sensor
• Gyro sensor

run_robot_remote_control.py is example how to control your robot with a the infrared remote control.

The example uses the following sensors:

• Infrared sensor
• Ultrasonic sensor
• Color sensor
• Gyro sensor
