EV3 Controller turns your Android tablet or Chromebook into a wireless remote for your LEGO
MINDSTORMS EV3 robot — no extra hardware, no cables, no code.

DRIVE YOUR WAY
• Drive tab — an on-screen joystick with speed proportional to how far you push it. Works
with touch or a mouse, so it's just as usable on a Chromebook in clamshell mode.
• Keys tab — WASD or arrow keys at full speed while held, for Chromebooks with a hardware
keyboard attached.
• Setup tab — map each motor to its EV3 port (A–D), flip direction for mirrored builds, and
configure up to two attachment motors with their own speeds and key bindings.

SIMPLE, ONE-TIME PAIRING
The EV3's stock firmware only speaks classic Bluetooth, which Android requires pairing for
before any app can connect. EV3 Controller handles this the straightforward way: it lists
already-paired bricks for one-tap connect, and sends you straight to Bluetooth settings if you
haven't paired yet. On the brick, just turn on Bluetooth and Visibility — the passkey is 1234.

BUILT AROUND SAFETY
Every control path — releasing a key, releasing the joystick, switching tabs mid-drive,
backgrounding the app, locking the screen — sends an explicit stop command. The one thing no
app can protect against is a dropped Bluetooth link while the robot is moving; EV3 Controller
tells you plainly when that's the situation instead of pretending otherwise.

REQUIREMENTS
• A LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 brick with Bluetooth enabled and already paired to your device
• Android 8.0 (Oreo) or later
• Works on phones, tablets, and Chromebooks (touch or mouse/keyboard)

This is a focused, single-robot controller: one saved motor configuration, Bluetooth only (no
Wi-Fi or USB), no sensor readback. If that's what you need, it does it well. ## Rankings - #2,136,863 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT` - `android.permission.BLUETOOTH_SCAN` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.cenasoftware.ev3controller.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` ## Similar extensions and apps - [EV3 Pad+ Remote](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.EV3.PadPlus) — 10,094 users - [EV3 Pad Remote](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.EV3.Pad) — 5,949 users - [EV3 Simple Remote](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.EV3.Simple) — 222,893 users, 3.36 / 5 - [EV3 Controller](https://chrome-stats.com/d/appinventor.ai_blast24blast.EV3CON) — 19,576 users - [Ev3 Controller](https://chrome-stats.com/d/appinventor.ai_seymen_tautz.Ev3_Controller) — 231 users - [Pilot do Mindstorms EV3](https://chrome-stats.com/d/appinventor.ai_jaco_luban.EV3) — 3,420 users - [EV3 GSensor Remote](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.EV3.GSensor) — 3,147 users - [EV3NXT Controller plus ULTRA](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.legocontroller.panda) — 4,052 users - [Mobile Robot Coder](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.ardaulger.nxtmobileprogramming) — 35,915 users, 2.20 / 5 - [Пульт управления роботом NXT](https://chrome-stats.com/d/ru.alexpronin.rcfornxt) — 1,105 users - [RoboCam](https://chrome-stats.com/d/ru.proghouse.robocam) — 45,802 users, 4.00 / 5 - [Hi EV3](https://chrome-stats.com/d/io.kodular.app97204.Hi_EV3) — 85,702 users, 3.58 / 5 --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.cenasoftware.ev3controller)
