notes:
setup: '1. Flash ev3dev image to microSD: https://www.ev3dev.org/docs/getting-started/
2. Boot EV3 with ev3dev SD card. 3. Connect via USB cable (RNDIS) or add a WiFi
USB dongle. 4. SSH: ssh robot@ev3dev.local (default password: [REDACTED] 5. pip
install python-ev3dev2 6. castor run --config config/presets/lego_mindstorms_ev3.rcan.yaml
'
second_hand_tips: 'Common at school surplus, Goodwill, and Facebook Marketplace
for $30-80. Check that all motor/sensor ports click firmly. Test each motor with
the built-in EV3 menu before flashing ev3dev. Replacement cables are cheap on
eBay.
