EV3-API

This API supports the follwing functionallity:

• Easy initialization with one header-file
• Controlling LEGO motors
• Reading out of Touch, Ultrasonic, Color, Gyro, EV3-Infrared, NXT-Infrared Sensor and NXT Temperaturesensor
• Controling Buttons and LED
• Printing text on LCD

The basis of this API was developed by John Hansen and Carsten Zeiffert. These API's were merged and extended.

Building from source

If you change something in the source, rebuild with a simple make (with MinGW, it's called mingw32-make).

Unless you are using the Eclipse Plugin, you will also need to explicitly link against the static .a file generated like so: -L/path/to/libev3api -lev3api.
