ev3devrpyc

The ev3devrpyc package allows you to remotely steer a real EV3 from your PC.

You only need to import the 'ev3devrpyc' module at the beginning of your python program before the ev3dev or ev3dev2 api is loaded.

Then the 'ev3devrpyc' module loads a special importer which instead of loading the ev3dev modules from the simulator it proxies the ev3dev(2) modules on a remote EV3. So when doing API calls to this proxied module all these calls are forwarded to the EV3. The RPyC library is used to implement this proxy, hence the name ev3devrpyc.

The 'ev3devrpyc' module assumes you have connected the EV3 with an USB cable to your pc, and the EV3 is set in usb-tethering mode. For more details about usb tethering mode see: https://github.com/ev3dev-python-tools/thonny-ev3dev/wiki/Connect-with-EV3

For an example see: https://github.com/ev3dev-python-tools/thonny-ev3dev/wiki/Example

Notes:

• normally the 'ev3dev2' package on a PC controls a simulated EV3 in the ev3dev2simulator, but by importing the 'ev3devrpyc' module a special importer is installed which doesn't load the 'ev3dev2' package anymore. Instead it loads a proxy module to the ev3dev module on the EV3 itself.
• the 'ev3dev' API is not supported by the ev3dev2simulator on the PC but it can, with the 'ev3devrpyc' module, be proxied on the PC to remotely steer the EV3 from the PC.
