EV3 Brick
Overview
The Display shows you what is going on inside the EV3 Brick and
enables you to use the Brick Interface. It also allows you to add
text and numerical or graphic responses into your programming or
experiments. For example, you might want to program the Display
to show a happy face (or a sad face) for a comparison response or
to display a number that is the result of a mathematical calculation
(learn more about using the Display Block in the EV3 Software Help).
The Brick Buttons allow you to navigate inside the EV3 Brick
Interface. They can also be used as programmable activators. For
example, you might program a robot to raise its arms if the Up button
is pressed or to lower them if the Down button is pressed (for more
information, see Using the Brick Buttons in the EV3 Software Help).
