Teaching LEGO EV3 ROBOT to move - tutorial 

4) Teaching Your Robot to Move - Tutorial

Now that we have installed the software, we need to find out how to use it. This tutorial teaches us how to connect Botticelli to our Laptop or Desktop computer, and how to teach Botticelli to move by typing in our first program to our laptop or desktop computer.

Our LEGO EV3 computer brick has an “operating system” that is just called “firmware”.  Occasionally LEGO issues updated firmware for the EV3 bricks. If you see a notice telling you that the firmware on your brick needs updating, this video shows you how to update your EV3 computer brick.
