Introducing the all New LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3 The EV3 is the 3rd robot making kit of the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® series and was cooperatively developed with MIT- Massachusetts Institute of Technology. With its new sensors and capabilities, not only can you make more capable robots, but you can also run advanced scientific experiments in the class room using its software. The LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3 has been improved dramatically with a faster processor, additional output ports, programming improvements and a newly added USB port, micro SD card slot, and auto-ID function. You are now able to program directly on the “brick” and use a combination of an IR, Bluetooth, or even a smart phone to wirelessly control your creations. LEGO MINDSTORMS® EV3 Frequently Asked Questions Q: What is LEGO® MINDSTORMS®? A: LEGO® MINDSTORMS® is a programmable robotics construction set that gives you the power to build and program your own LEGO® robots. Q: What does EV3 stand for?
A: This is the third generation of LEGO® MINDSTORMS® platform and the “EV” stands for evolution, hence EV3. Q: What is a programmable brick? A: The programmable brick is the intelligent programmable microcomputer that controls motors and sensors, as well as providing wireless communication through Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Q: I have a LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT set already – will a conversion kit from the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT set to the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3 set be made available? A: No, a conversion set will not be made available.
Q: How do the EV3 sensors compare with the NXT sensors? A: A lot of improvements have been made. Some of the more notable are: • The EV3 Color Sensor can detect 7 colors (and no colors) as opposed to the NXT Color Sensor which can detect 6 colors • With the EV3 Color Sensor you have Reflected Light mode which removes background light. • The EV3 sensors can return new values 1000 times/sec where the NXT sensors only return new values 333 times/sec. Q: How is the EV3 differentiated from the NXT?
This page has links to relevant courses and also books. LegoEngineering.com has a list of EV3 courses. From Udemy has 41 lecture and 3 hours of video for absolute beginners. Open2Study in Australia has a free video-based course taught by Dr. Michelle Dunn which is good for middle schoolers i.e. Beginners level. It uses the Lego EV3 robot.
Serials did not strictly run sequentially. Therefore, dates may be a year different, especially near the 'boundaries'. Enter the serial number (leave out the ',' or '.' ) of your Savage 1895/1899/99 in the box below: American Rifleman (July, 1980; page 28) contains a very different set of dates for serial numbers through 193000. Savage Model 99 with no Serial Number or Date Code I have a Savage Model 99 in.300 Savage (probably an EG circa 1956). It has no serial number anywhere on it and no date code. The lever boss has an eight-point asterix where the date code should be. The area where the serial number should be is absolutely smooth. Savage serial number date of manufacture.
The Robotics Academy of Carnegie Mellon University has an EV3 Curriculum available free (?). The consists of 50+ videos, PDFs, quizzes, and includes easy to use step-by-step videos.
Carnegie Mellon University also has, which is like C and therefore probably rather difficult but there are alternatives such as: • EV3 Basic is a very easy-to-learn textual programming language for the EV3 - see my site. • Python is a very modern, very powerful, highly popular and respected programming language that can be used to program the EV3 using EV3 Python.
STEMRobotics has an EV3 course called Rowan University has a course which is specifically designed for K-12 teachers. Has at least two courses based on the EV3. The courses are available in English, Polish and sometimes other languages. Has a lot of free materials. Has some good introductory videos. Graeme in Tasmania has good (he is gradually updating his NXT tutorials for the EV3). These tutorials work with both the retail and education versions of the EV3.
Have dozens of Youtube videos about the EV3 but so far they seem too basic to be much fun. Are some more 'EV3 tutorials for students by students' (fifth graders i.e. 10 year olds). Again, probably too basic for a clever clogs like you? Has a Mindstorms section. Has, of course, about a million videos about the EV3 and a billion videos about the NXT.
Books Check out these books: by Damien Kee is the basis of my robotics classes. This book is written for teachers are proposes a 50 hour course for students aged 9-15, so it will probably need adapting to suit the time constraints of most schools. This book is available in both paper and pdf formats and is also available in French in pdf format from. The translation should be of excellent quality. Because I did it myself!
