Getting started with EV3 MicroPython

This guide shows you how to get started writing MicroPython programs for your LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3 robots. You’ll learn to do so in two steps:

  • Installation: First you’ll prepare your computer and your EV3 Brick by collecting and installing the required tools. You’ll also learn how to turn the EV3 Brick on and off and to navigate the menu on the screen.
  • Creating and running programs: Next, you’ll learn how to create a program and download it to the EV3 Brick. You’ll also learn how to start that program from your computer or from the EV3 Brick.

After you’ve run the first demo program, you’ll be ready to try out the example programs and start inventing your own programs.
