[EV3] MINDSTORMS EV3 (31313) and MINDSTORMS Education EV3 Core Set (45544)

Hello.

I have 31313, but would like to access the curriculum material for 45544 that is provided by LEGO Education. Identifyying and obtaining the missing parts is straightforward enough, but it is not clear to me whether the "Intelligent Brick" that comes with 31313 can be repurposed for use with 45544.

My apologies if I have not described the problem very well - I lack the necessary technical knowledge/uderstanding to describe it better.

Thanks, Darryl

The brick is exactly the same. The firmware is slightly different but you can download both versions (the Education version and the Home version) from LEGO sites.

Thank you. Would downloading the Education version firmware also address the datalogging functionality?

[MajorAlvega]

Yes.

[dtoerien]

Brilliant! Thank you very much.

In the early days, EV3 Education was not free, it required a license. But in meantime LEGO decided to release it free so now you can use Education software version with your EV3 Home Edition set. And yes, it includes the datalogging feature.
