The Wheel VM is built on top of the standard EV3 VM. It's a small .rbf file which runs the code from a .rtf file. You don't have to use an SD card or change the firmware to run a Wheel program.
When you've downloaded and installed the Wheel IDE then installing a compiled program is easy.
After connecting your EV3 and compiling your program you can select the "Install compiled files on EV3"
option from the EV3 menu.
This option will show a dialog which allows you to install all files and resources
of your project on the EV3 with a single click.
You can also select the "Autoinstall after compile" option in the EV3 menu. When this option is active
then all files will automatically be installed on your EV3 every time you rebuild your project.
If you're compiling a file on the demo website then the VM code is displayed in a new tab.
The tab contains two views, the active view displays the readable version of the code.
Below the source there's a button which allows you to select text or rtf. When you select the rtf
view then the select and copy button will activate. You can click this button to select and copy the
code. This code has to be pasted in a file named program.rtf.
The program.rtf file and de vm.rbf have to be uploaded to your EV3 device and be placed in the same directory.
The vm.rbf file can be found on github at: https://github.com/ArnoVanDerVegt/wheel/tree/main/assets/template/vm.
