Webinar: EV3 Programming Blocks for TETRIX

Learn how to use the TETRIX® hardware with the EV3 controller and sensor within the EV3 software environment. In this webinar, Robotics Application Specialist Tim Lankford walks you through downloading the software, understanding the different programming blocks, and more.

Hello, there is a problem with connecting a DC motor controller Tetrix to the ev3 unit. Downloaded and installed the EV3 blocks for LEGO MINDSTORMS. But the program doesn't recognize motors . gives a yellow exclamation mark over the icon of the port. And watching LEGO ports shows the electricity meter. Help us understand what's going on, maybe we need to install some additional software to make the EV3 unit recognize TETRIX motors.

You might check to make sure the blocks you imported to the EV3 Software are for the specific controller you're using. If the blocks are correct, then we're not sure what the issue is without more details. Please email [e-mail] explaining your issue and noting the part number of the controller you're using. The Technical Support team will work with you to figure out the problem.:)

How did this happen?
Cannot compile some of the documents for deployment:
Program.ev3p: Use nonexistent modules.

Thanks for contacting us! We're sorry you’re experiencing difficulty with the EV3 Blocks in this particular instance.
If you’re currently using the new EV3 module for TETRIX® PRIME (which makes these systems completely compatible), the instructions in the video won't work.
If you’re using the products featured in the video, unfortunately, this webinar is a little older and we no long carry this HiTechnic product as a controller for EV3 and TETRIX. As such, we cannot replicate this error, which limits our ability to troubleshoot. But we want to do our best to help. Can you email us with more information about this error at [e-mail]? If you’re interested in alternatives at some point, you might consider the EV3 module we mentioned, or we have the PULSE™ and PRIZM® robotics controllers, and the TETRIX MAX DC Motor (or Servo) Expansion Controller.

Any up to date info with Tetrix and EV3, since the controller changed to Prizm ???

[@TETRIXbyPitsco]

We're currently working on updating info for TETRIX and EV3 connectivity, and will post it soon!

why does i can't find the document of Ev3 programming in www.tetrixrobotics.com

[@TETRIXbyPitsco]

Depending on the servo or motor controller you're using, you might find what you need at www.tetrixrobotics.com/ev3downloads. If not, you can always reach out to our Technical Support team at 800-358-4983 in the US or email [e-mail] with details of the equipment you're using, and details about your issue.:)
