- Download latest ev3dev from https://www.ev3dev.org/
- Write the ev3dev image on SD card using https://www.balena.io/etcher/ a graphical sd burner.
- Insert newly created SD card to SD slot (text facing up), boot up by pressing center button on brick.
- To make it easier to remove the SD card, stick a small tape on top/bottom.
- Connect to wireless if Wifi dongle supported, use the brick menu to scan network and type in password.
- Change hostname in /etc/hosts. After wireless connection:
ssh robot@ip
By mdns name:
ssh robot@ev3dev.local
Default password is maker. Make your decision on which programming language (python, javascript etc), then download.
I want to test node.js, it looks like the ev3dev ships outdated version, so I need to update to a newer nodejs release.
