Microsoft said the following on Channel 9 regarding this new possibility for developers: Follow this link to see the Getting Started Guide on how to establish the LEGO Mindstomers EV3 API connectivity to your Windows 10, 8.1 device. Now that Windows 8.1 and the MINDSTORMS EV3 are available publically, we’re releasing an API for you to make whatever robotic future you (or your kids) can dream up. The API provides access to control the motors and read real-time data from the sensors. You can connect to and control your LEGO EV3 brick over Bluetooth, WiFi, or USB. The project provides libraries that are usable from the Windows desktop, Windows Phone 8, and WinRT (via .NET, WinJS and C++), along with full source code and samples. If you’re interested in learning more about how to build and program smart robots with the EV3, you can purchase this book from the Microsoft Store. As its title suggests, ‘Building Smart LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Robots‘ reveals all the secrets of building these robots. You will learn about various robot building techniques and well as the programming concepts used by engineers in real-life prototypes. So, if you want to build your own object-tracking tank, all-terrainvehicle, remote control race car and other similar devices, this is the book to read. RELATED STORIES TO CHECK OUT:
