:Programming the EV3 for a competition requires several blocks. Sometimes we repeat a sequence of blocks having a long set of blocks causing some errors and hard to debug or find where the program is failing. To help minimizing the program, EV3 software provides a tool called my block builder. First you need to define a block of programs that will be created as one my block: Select all block you want to be part of My Block definition Go to Tools- My Block Builder You can define an icon for your block, type a name for it and a brief description. If you do need to define parameters, then click finish All the previous blocks will be saved into one my block, this will be saved in your EV3 library to be used on other programs.
If you create a new program and go to the last tab at the bottom, you will see all my blocks you created. Lego Education and Microsoft Makecode have a beta version of a new on-line programming tool for EV3. The site requires the latest firmware update version 1.10 for the EV3 brick. You will connect the brick to the computer with the USB cable and the computer will see it as an additional driver. You can write programs using scratch style blocks or writing javascript code, it includes an emulator to see the behavior of motors or sensors. To update the firmware, please go to Lego Support site
To test the new programming site go to makecode.mindstorm.com nOn a FLL competition, one of the main challenges members of the team have is how to move from the base to the mission location. Using a measured distance (inches/cm) is a great tool, team members can define the rotations needed to move the robot from base to the mission's point.
