kurzschliesser-ev3dev

Getting started

Requirements

• some version of Linux for the EV3 (preferably ev3dev's Debian)
• git
• a robot similar to robo_V1.io (BrickLink Studio file)

Setting up and running

1. Follow the instructions on ev3dev.org
2. Mount the brick's filesystem: mkdir $mountpoint; sshfs -o idmap=user [email protected]: $mountpoint

   You will be asked a passwd, the default on ev3dev is maker

   sshfs requires the FUSE linux kernel module. It will not work on WSL 1 etc., which doesn't provide an actual kernel.

   To unmount, use fusermount -uz $mountpoint

3. CD into the Brick's FS: cd $mountpoint
4. Clone this repo if not already done: git clone https://github.com/pinjuf/kurzschliesser-ev3dev
5. You can now execute the main.py script using either Brickman (recommended) or ssh [email protected] ./kurzschliesser-ev3dev/main.py

   The screen on ev3dev is usually reserved for Brickman's reserved TTY. If you want to run from SSH and have access to the terminal, use sudo chvt $N and optionally sudo conspy to bind your PTS to the screen. You can then revert back to the Brickman TTY.

About some files

robo_V1.io

This is a BrickLink Studio model file of our robot, the Kabelstapler. It's pretty much the best Lego modelling software, but it's proprietary and only has Windows builds (I truly am sorry). So if you're an absolute chad who uses Linux (we use Arch BTW), you will need to use Wine or a VM.
