Test a new technology is always a bit tedious and it requires an amount of time.
So, this project try to reduce the curve of learning of any new user with EV3Dev-lang-java.
The Prerequisites to use this project are:
- Your MINDSTORMS Brick needs to have installed latest
Debian Stretchversion. https://www.ev3dev.org/docs/getting-started/ - To increase the EV3 CPU Speed, read the following article: https://lechnology.com/2018/06/overclocking-lego-mindstorms-ev3-part-2/
- Your MINDSTORMS Brick needs to be connected to the same LAN than your laptop. http://www.ev3dev.org/docs/getting-started/#step-5-set-up-a-network-connection
Note: Update the EV3Dev kernel https://www.ev3dev.org/docs/tutorials/upgrading-ev3dev/
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-image-ev3dev-ev3
Once you have all steps done, continue with the next section.
This repository stores a template project about EV3Dev-lang-java.
Once you download in your computer the project,
open your favourite Java IDE ( Eclipse or IntelliJ)
to import this Gradle project. The project includes latest dependencies and
an partyRobot ready to be deployed on your Robot using the core library from EV3Dev-lang-java.
The project includes some tasks to reduce the time to deploy on your robot.
To start, change the brickHost, brickUser and brickPassword properties in config.gradle. Then, continue to the brick setup.
