I should have started using LeJOS long ago! I have spend the last 10 years developing my own home AI lab - and LeJOS worked a charm. I have pushed it's functionality to its limits and eventually developed a little EV3 Lego robot that evolves intelligence and real emotions (I am not kidding see here: www.xzistor.com). So thankful I was pointed in the direction of LeJOS! I would like to say - do not waste your time on the other EV3 tools out there if you do not like soldering and fixing bugs! Kind regards Xzistor

I get # ./ev3console No EV3s discovered Failed to connect to EV3 I switched on my EV3, connected it via USB, set JAVA_HOME, set EV3_HOME and started ev3console, what's happening here? Via dmesg I can see that it got recognized as LEGO EV3.

Great project! It is awesome being able to use Java to program the NXT! Plus it works on Linux, which is great, since I don't use Windows and the Mindstorms NXTG software doesn't run on Linux.
