A program written in python3 (3.9) that solves a Rubik's cube with a ev3 Mindstorms, without needing a SD card.

Very easy to setup. Just follow the steps.
You need to build the mindcuber robot. The "MindCub3r-v1p0.pdf" file has the building instructions (You can also find them at https://www.mindcuber.com).
The motor of the arm should connect to the A Port. The motor of the platform should connect to the B Port.
Don't mind connecting the other cables. This program doesnt use them.
See this to connect your pc with the ev3 (Bluetooh does not work for MacOS) - https://ev3-dc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples_ev3.html#connect-with-the-ev3-device (I strongly recommend USB)
- Installation
- Setup
- Run
- Dependecies
# If you don't have opencv installed
$ pip install opencv-python
$ pip install git+https://github.com/PBeGood4/mindcuber-python
# This will install all dependecies (except the opencv, that one needs to be installed separatly)
Open mindcuber-python.py
To find this file:
which mindcuber-python.py
where mindcuber-python.py
Go to ev3Device = ev3.EV3(protocol=ev3.USB, host='00:16:53:3D:F8:DF')
Change ev3.USB To the protocol you want: ev3.USB, ev3.BLUETOOTH or ev3.WIFI (I strongly recommend USB)
Change host='00:16:53:3D:F8:DF' to your ev3's MAC adress (Find the MAC adr in: Brick Info / ID).
$ rubik.py
The scripts were installed to your PATH, there is no need to call "python3"
If it doesnt work, don't be afraid to open an issue.
