The new infrared beacon allows controlling robots from a 2 meter distance Two types of servomotors are now available:The large oneĪnd the medium one (like the French fries 🙂 )Īn infrared device called IR seeker is now present in the base set and can measure distances, detect objects and also be used as an infrared received for a remote control Regarding hardware found around the brick, some new exciting stuff: The LCD screen is still a B&W model but it has a better resolutionīacklit buttons to geek around, even at night The ability to daisy chain 4 EV3 intelligent bricks USB 2.0 interface with the ability to use a Wifi Dongle An evolution more than a revolution but a lot of new features and capabilities are embedded in this little brick.įrom a technical point of view, here are the main characteristic to be aware of: But this appears to require programming at the internal serial port level which is probably beyond the fifth graders I am coaching.The Lego Group has been teasing us for months now and it was presented at the occasion of the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.Īfter several years of intensive use at home by makers and at schools by teachers and students, the LEGO Mindstorms NXT is now being replaced by the Mindstorms EV3.

(no G, and it works fine with my version 2.0). Perhaps I should have known 8547 was codeword for “Retail version, temperature sensor won’t work!” Yes the temp sensor order page mentioned “LME NXT Software 2.0 or higher is required! ” (note no G) but then the color sensor order page says “Requires LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Education NXT Software 2.1. In my defense, Lego itself doesn’t consistently call the development software NXT-G (no G anywhere on that download site, the file name, nor in the software’s About file…) And I don’t see any explanation of retail vs educational versions of the software on the Lego sites or download pages.
