We chose the operating system _ev3dev_ which makes the Lego robots compatible with all types of script languages, inculding Python3. You need to download the latest image from the [EV3 DEV Website](https://www.ev3dev.org/downloads/). With the image you need to flash a microSD card. The software platform runs directly from the microSD card and does not interfere with the original firmware. After putting the SD card into your Brick turn it on and the Brick will start to boot. After the first boot that takes several minutes from now on your Brick will boot from the SD card everytime. There are several possibilitys to communicate with your brick but we connected it via a USB-Cable and used Microsoft's editor Visual Studio Code. But it is also possible to use other editors and communicate via an SSH connection. To see the alternatives and in case of problems visit the [Getting Started with ev3dev-Guide](https://www.ev3dev.org/docs/getting-started/).

VS Code is supporting nearly every major programming language and is very versatile thanks to additional extensions. You can download the editor [here](https://code.visualstudio.com/Download). The extension `ev3dev-browser` is specially created for working with devices on which the _ev3dev_ image is booted. You can install it directly inside the extension Browser of VS Code.

After installing the extension, you should see the text _EV3DEV DEVICE BROWSER_ at the lower edge of the Explorer. Click on the arrow next to the text and afterward on the appearing text "Click here to connect to a device". In the pop-upped box you can search for your device and by clicking on it, you can connect it. If the connection succeeded, you can see the device in the Explorer with a green dot on the right side. Once your device is connected, you can simply run the opened projects by clicking `F5`.
