BrickPi3 example

• ev3dev version: PASTE THE OUTPUT OF uname -r HERE
• ev3dev-lang-python version: INSERT ALL VERSIONS GIVEN BY dpkg-query -l {python3,micropython}-ev3dev* HERE

We get a fairly steady stream of people trying to use BrickPi3 and failing because it cannot automatically detect sensors and motors. It would be super-helpful if the docs here had an example that people could copy and paste to get started.

Despite the constant questions, I still cannot find any known working example in any of the ev3dev GithHub issues.

I opened a PR on the python demo repo with a sample program; would you be able to test it?

Yeah, I’ll try it tomorrow.

The more places the better 😄

Maybe add some links to the FAQ from different places? e.g. at the top of the sensor docs, say “If you are using BrickPi3, also see the FAQ”
