Hello Forum: Sorry for stupid question but I am pretty new in robotics/Raspi: I recently bought Picar-X kit as a good base for visual programming of my Raspi pi (still 3B+). Everything works fine if there is a connection between Picar and my Mac or Iphone app (EzBlock studio). But the robot is only working if being connected with one of them. But I also wanted to let the robot run without being connected to external (Mac or Iphone) e.g. for a own “home gardening project” without need for remote feature. For this do I have to install EzBlock directly on the raspi? Or how to transfer python code to the raspi from my external EzBlock? There is probably a very easy solution but I don´t know how to get there. Regards and best greetings from Germany! Franz
To get the Picar-X working, you need to run Python code or use the EzBlock Studio app for control. Remote connection is required for proper operation.
Thanks for your hint!
But i am still asking myself how to get EzBlock generated Python code (using of course EzBlock functions) running on a regular Raspi Pi (without EzBlock OS on it but the regular one)?
Otherwise EzBlock and its nice functions are no real help! for me?
Sorry for stupid question, but i am pretty new in this area!
Best regards! Franz Pellkofer
If you haven’t installed the Ezblock OS system and want to control the PiCar-X using Python code, you can follow the Raspberry Pi OS instructions to install all the necessary libraries via the system terminal. Once the installation is successful, you can run our Python code examples.
Please refer to the tutorial for detailed steps: Play with Python — SunFounder PiCar-X Kit documentation. Make sure to follow the steps in the tutorial carefully.
