LeJOS - Firmware and Java API replacement for EV3 programming.Dexter Industries - Sensors for the EV3.The modified firmware implementing this modification is called EV3.14. This hack was not possible on the NXT due to a hardware limitation. This enhancement allows for smoother rotation at low speed and better position control. By enabling edge triggered interrupts on the encoder B line (called direction line by Lego), it is possible to have 720 increments per turn instead of 360. On the EV3 AM1808 platform, it is possible with a small hack to double the encoder's resolution. The CubeStormer III broke the record on March 15, 2014. The previous record of 5.27 seconds was held by the CubeStormer II, which was built with previous generation NXT parts. The CubeStormer III is a Rubik's cube solving robot, the former Guinness World Records record holder for the fastest Rubik's Cube solving robot - 3.256 seconds.Its low cost (US$354) is an advantage over typical Braille printers (which can cost upwards of $2000). It is a modified version of the BANNER PRINT3R project, designed by Ralph Hempel. The Braigo is a robotic Braille printer designed by Shubham Banerjee, a 12-year-old boy from Santa Clara, California in the Silicon Valley region.Notable robots made with the EV3 platform The EV3 brick cannot be programmed with the standard NXT software, but some third party software supports both systems. When you use the EV3 software to program the NXT, you must download extra programming-blocks, such as the UltraSonic sensor (which is included in the standard NXT kit, but not the standard EV3 kit).


The NXT brick can be programmed with the EV3 software, but lacks some software features. EV3 sensors do not work with the NXT, but EV3 motors do.

All NXT sensors, motors, and building elements work with EV3 and are recognized as NXT sensors/motors when plugged in.
