Reply To: Setting up

Hi Anders,

I am getting a “Failed to open connection” error when trying to execute my first simple program. The program is very simple, the first example from the guide. Literally, I get this error:

en MonoBrick.WiFiConnection2.Open()
en Program.Main(String[] args)
Error: Failed to open connection
Press any key yo end….`

The ev3 brick is connected to wifi and I have established a tcp/ip connection with the brick.

Compiling the program I get an .exe program, that I execute in the windows virtual machine, as I am using a mac.

<strong>So, what problem may I have with the program?</strong>

The program is:

using System;
using MonoBrick.EV3;

public static class Program{
	static void Main(string[] args)
	{
		var ev3 = new Brick<Sensor,Sensor,Sensor,Sensor>("wifi");
		try{
			ev3.Connection.Open();
			ev3.MotorA.On(50);
			System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(3000);
			ev3.MotorA.Off();
		}
		catch(Exception e){
			Console.WriteLine(e.StackTrace);
			Console.WriteLine("Error: " + e.Message);
			Console.WriteLine("Press any key to end...");
			Console.ReadKey();				
		}
		finally{
			ev3.Connection.Close();
		}
	}
}
