Then choose ' Start Scan' and wait until available WiFi hotspots have been found. An indicator will come on in Brickman's header to indicate that the WiFi adaptor is powered.

Select ' Powered' (press the Enter button) if it is not already selected. Plug the adaptor into the EV3's USB socket, then, in the Brickman main menu, choose ' Wireless and Networks'. Unlike the standard Lego EV3 software which demands a very specific WiFi adaptor, the ev3dev software is compatible with a wide range of WiFi adaptors. If you are a more advanced user and do want to use SSH then you should refer to and. You really shouldn't need to connect the EV3 to the internet to use the VS Code workflow described in this video, and neither should you need to establish a Secure SHell or SSH connection between VS Code and the EV3. connected to the internet via the computer.

Note that this video is intended for EV3 Python beginners so I won't be explaining how to get the EV3 'online' i.e. Even if Brickman indicates 'disconnected' that only means that there is no IPv4 connection to the computer - an IPv6 connection should automatically have been established between the EV3 and the PC. The computer should then be connected to the EV3 no matter whether Brickman indicates 'Online', 'Connected' or 'Disconnected'.

You've probably done that before when you used the standard Lego EV software. Simply connect a USB cable from your computer to the 'PC' socket on the EV3.
