iPython and Jupyter notebooks on ev3dev EV3 Mindstorms

Installing iPython & jupyter notebooks on the ev3dev

sudo -su
 
apt-get install libboost-python1.55.0 python-setuptools python-pil 

Installing iPython


Run the update then the install (if not you will not find/install ipython)

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y ipython

sudo apt-get install python3-pip  :: To install pip under python 3

sudo pip3 install ipython


sudo pip3 install --upgrade pip
 
sudo pip3 install jupyter

I received this error message...

 Could not find .egg-info directory in install record for pyzmq>=13 (from jupyter-client>=4.1->qtconsole->jupyter)

Yet when I run it (see below) it takes awhile to actually do anything

jupyter notebook

sudo pip3 install rpyc

Connecting EV3 Mindstorm with ev3dev flashed micro SD card to Ubuntu Gnome

Here is my steps:

1. Boot up into Gnome without the EV3 Robot attached.

2. Open network settings

3. Create a new connection

4. Click on the ipv4 Settings and choose "Share to other computers"

5. The system allocates a random IP Address to the EV3 even though its not needed.

6. Goto your EV3

7. All Network Connections

8. Wired --> "Connect"

9. You will see "configuring" on the screen, then you'll see "connected"

10. Goto your network settings to see if you've been allocated an IP address

11. This means you can now ssh into the robot even though your Robot displays only "Connected"

12. After another few minutes your Robot will eventually display "Online"

13. Or it might might now display "Online" yet it is online.

SSH

1. Open a Terminal
2. ssh robot@ev3dev.local
3. password: maker


I've had the Robot connecting, then going to "Online" quickly,  other times I've had the Robot displaying some random IP Address and no "online" but I could still connect to it.

On the MAC, J found you have to install a CDC Packager to be able to connect to the Robot and share the internet connection.

On Windows 7 64bit I found that I could pickup the Robot, installed NDIS Drivers from the Microsoft Corporation build-in drivers, and share a internet connection. Once you try to connect to the Robot my PC just bluescreen. Same for my x86 Windows 7 box.
