2. Copy and paste spikerfcomm.py into it.

Nice, Pro

1. Fork this project
2. Create a new MINDSTORMS EV3 project in Visual Studio Code, using the MINDSTORMS Extension. Save it inside the projects folder of your fork.
3. Symlink spikerfcomm.py into your project: ln -s ../../spikerfcomm.py .
4. Develop and do a pull request with your code and adjustments.

Usage

Example projects

• After cloning, open a new VS Code window (cmd-shift-N).
• Open the subfolder of 'Projects' of this repo with just the project you want to run.
• Make sure you paired your SPIKE or Robot Inventor hub with your EV3.
• Note the Bluetooth MAC address.
• Replace the MAC address in the main.py file with your MAC address.
• Press F5.
• Press a button on the EV3 to neatly clean up the connection when done.

Your own project

import spikerfcomm
repl = SpikePrimeREPL('A8:E2:C1:9B:12:C3') # Replace with BT Address of your own hub.
print("According to Robot Inventor, 1+1=", repl.run("print(1+1)"))

Research & todo

• Find a way to set up a connection between two new hubs and also use this library.
• Add more examples
• Expand documentation and explainers
