WHAT IS IT?
ev3dev-c is a C library for LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Debian Linux which wraps access to the EV3 hardware.
The library also supports remote access to the EV3 brick over a network. So, if you configure WLAN on the brick, you can control the EV3 hardware from a remote computer, for example, running under Windows.
PYTHON, RUBY and PERL
Python, Ruby and Perl libraries are automatically generated from the C library using SWIG tool.
Use pip to install ev3dev-c Python package:
pip install ev3dev-c
ev3dev-c Python package contains the following binary modules:
- "_ev3.pyd" – for remote control from Windows (x86)
- "_ev3.so" – for LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Debian
You have to install "python-dev", "ruby-dev" and "libperl-dev" packages to build the corresponding libraries.
