This page contains a short tutorial on how to get the
Edimax EW-7811Un V2 to work on the EV3. It is mainly based on
this comment on GitHub, but was added here, just
in case the comment is removed. The following explanation assumes the brick can be connected via SSH (a normal USB cable and Visual Studio
should allow for this).
What To Do?
- Download this driver (8188eu.ko).
- Replace the driver on the EV3 in the
/lib/modules/4.14.117-ev3dev-2.3.5-ev3/drivers/net/wireless/ folder. (Make a backup, just in case!)
- Reboot the EV3.
- Insert the WiFi-dongle into the device once it has started.
- Check that the WiFi-option is still empty.
- Execute (on the EV3)
sudo modprobe 8188eu.
- To automatically enable it on startup, add
8188eu to /etc/modules.
- The WiFi should now be available on the EV3-brick. Use either the UI or the commandline to connect to a network
