Unique pieces and very well made The Lego set 10236(Ewok Village) is quite expensive but there are a lot of unique pieces that aren't found in other sets. Also contains a lot of minfigs -- all the Ewok minifigs are unique. My daughter loves this set because of all the tree pieces. Overall set is very well made and fun to play with. For some reason my review is showing up for Lego Mindstorm EV3 -- my kids also have this set. They've had it for a few years and my son is finally starting to play with it with help from various library books which is wonderful. I think it's best for kids over 10 years unless you have someone helping you out.

Verified purchase: Yes Condition: New •. Worth the price if your child uses it. Search Youtube 'Lego challenge 2014 My son has Lego club once a week and they are working on the Lego 2014 challenge.

I purchased this Item so he could get some practice working on the programming. It was expensive, but I felt It was worth it. I would rather have him spend hours programming the robot and working out solutions than playing video games all day.(He definitely surprised me on how quick he learned to use it.) This is not the type of present you just give to a kid and walk away.

(I think most kids will need some guidance and friendly competition keeps them coming back. Otherwise it will collect dust)Down load programming soft ware so they write programs for the robot. Don't just use the remote control.

I also purchased a book about Lego Mindstorms that we keep in the car that he browses on trips. He also uses You Tube to research things like the color sensor. Great STEM learning platform! Excellent next step for young LEGO enthusiasts (and old guys like me wanting to encourage STEM learning in our children and grandchildren)! The set is beautifully designed and engineered. The only real shortcoming is lack of a decent manual. I bought The LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Discovery Book by Laurens Valk, which provides excellent tutorial information and several beginner and advanced projects to fill that void.

Crayon shin chan manga. I am very pleased with the combination of the EV3 and the Valk book! Verified purchase: Yes Condition: New.

• In this model, we will read the Accelrometer on-board Sense HAT. We will determine the motor speeds for the EV3 robot by using the acceleration data read from the Sense HAT Accelrometer. A network connection would be setup between the Raspberry Pi device and the EV3 robot for data exchange. • In this model, we would use the communication blocks of LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 to recieve the data sent by Raspberry Pi. The data received will be used to drive the motors of the EV3 robot. This example would help you learn the following.

Working Principle of Robot movement control In this section, we will discuss how the acceleration data can be used to control the movement of the robot. The 'pitch' and 'roll' value corresponding to a given position of Sense HAT can be mathematically determined from the accelaration measured from the Accelerometer on-board Sense HAT. We map the 'pitch' and 'roll' movement of the Sense HAT to the movement of the EV3 robot.

The 'pitch' would represent the forward and reverse movement of the motor whereas the 'roll' would represent the sideward movement of the robot. The mathematical equations required to convert the 'pitch' and 'roll' values to linear speed of the robot are realized using a MATLAB function block in the Simulink model for configured for Raspberry Pi.

A communication link for data exchange is set up between Raspberry Pi and the EV3 brick. The linear motor speed derived from the pitch and roll values is sent over UDP from Raspberry Pi to EV3. EV3 will receive this data and use it as input to drive the two motors. Task 1 - Familiarize with Controlling EV3 using Host model example shows usage of Dashboard widgets in a Simulink model running on a Host machine to control the movement of a EV3 robot. The communication between EV3 and the Host is over UDP. Complete this example to get familiarity with setting up a communication link between EV3 and a Host model for data exchange. Task 2 - Install Simulink Support Package for Raspberry Pi You need Simulink Support Package for Raspberry Pi to run Simulink model on Raspberry Pi hardware.
