Known Issues

The 'Port View' of EV3 brick

The 'Port View' can only show one numeric value, where as most of our sensors return multiple values (e.g. Gyro will return values for X, Y and Z directions).
As a result Port View won't show any meaningful values for our sensors.

EV3 program sometimes locks up

Use the latest firmware on your EV3 Brick! (Current version as of this writing is 1.08)

Occasional Read Errors from the sensor

When your program is reading too fast, EV3 firmware causes several read errors. Our EV3 blocks are designed to detect such errors (The programming block has a plug indicating data error). You should take appropriate action when such error occurs (such as ignore that reading, and/or slow down your reading speed). 

The sample programs have switch condition to check the value of for success/errors, as a guideline, you can follow that convention in your program.
