Hi all,

Another announcement for Christmas.

Do you know Lego MindStorms ? The last one is the Ev3 serie (http://www.lego.com/fr-fr/mindstorms/).

One particularity of this version compared to the previous ones is the possibility to plug a Wifi key and connect via TCP.

So, if you have this material (one Mindstorms Ev3, one compatible Wifi key), a wireshark to obtain the TCP port to connect to Ev3 (See the process here, only to understand why we need a wireshark to know the port: http://www.monobrick.dk/guides/how-to-establish-a-wifi-connection-with-the-ev3-brick/).

Now, you can control your robot with Pharo !

Just load these lines:

      url: 'http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/JLaval/JetStorm/main'

  username: '' 

  password: ''; 

      package: 'ConfigurationOfJetStorm';

      load.

I know also that for Christmas, it is not possible to learn a new API, we all have a lot of other things to do ! So, you can play with it into Phratch.

For that, just load Phratch and the package EV3Phratch as following.
