Bricks Asked on October 23, 2021
I have been trying to get python on my EV3 brick using an EV3 MicroPython SD card image as described on the Lego website. The EV3 brick seem fine with its new OS.
Instead my problems are at the computer end. When connecting the EV3 to my PC by USB cable and the Visual Studio Code editor (as prescribed by the Lego documentation) I can find and connect to the EV3 brick. But as soon as I try to actually do something with the connected device I get a blue screen of death.
According to the Lego homepage the systems requirements for EV3 MicroPython is Windows 10. I use Windows 7 on my computer which by itself should explain the problems. Nevertheless my question is if this seems plausible? Have others had the same problem? Is there any other way to use Python programming on my EV3 brick without having to change OS on my computers?
The official answer is NO.
EV3 Python only supports Windows 10 or version 1803 or newer. The page from the Documentation listing the system requirements are linked below:
EV3 Documentation - Minimum system requirements
That being said, there might be some trick to still getting it to work, but this is outside the supported scope.
Everything hinges on the EV3 MicroPython extension, and without it, you might be able to detect, but not use the EV3 block.
The blue screen of death seems like a bit of an overreaction, so some troubleshooting would not go amiss there, but using 3rd party extensions in an unsupported capacity can lead to hazardous results.

Sadly no! The EV3 software does not support Windows 7 or Windows 8. Because of how long ago Windows 7 was made, and the time EV3 was made, it simply cannot support it.
Or maybe it is your fault. The USB cord might be damaged or something, we don't know.
