Description
Book Introduction
The Complete Beginner's Guide to EV3 Programming
- Respond to various environments and perform commands
- Explore the maze by following the walls
- Display the dial input in the form of a picture on the screen or display the sensor and data values on the screen.
- Experience how to use arrays in programs through simple games, such as keeping score.
- Line following using the PID control concept, an algorithm also used in industrial settings.
The LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 programming language, with its colorful block-based interface, makes it easy for anyone to program intelligent robots once they get used to it, but the complexity and difficulty of the programming language can be intimidating for beginners.
This book is designed to address these fears with beginner-friendly content and detailed images.
Through this book, you will learn how to organically connect programming blocks, data wires, functions, variables, and files handled by EV3 programs internally. In the process, you will experience many concepts and habits that are considered important in programming languages, such as memory management and debugging techniques.
If you're interested in programming, this book will be of great help, as the concepts you'll learn apply not only to LEGO MINDSTORMS but also to other programming languages and control systems.
This book is organized into chapters and examples to maximize the use of basic robots, so you don't have to spend time building robot models. By practicing the examples step by step, you can learn the following:
