PoweredUp Remote

[Roehrich]

Hi and sorry for a probably stupid question

With great pleasure I heard about the pybricks project - really a great idea!

I uploaded the pybricks firmware onto the hub of a 42099 off-roader.
The autonomous drive programm and keyboard remote programs run fine but the poweredup remote controll program exits with:

  File "main.py", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: can't import name Remote

I could not find a solution for this problem. In the pupdevices section of the documentation remote is not listed.

Any help would be very much appreciated!

This is the code I was using:

from pybricks.pupdevices import Motor, Remote
from pybricks.parameters import Port, Direction, Stop, Button
from pybricks.tools import wait

# Initialize the motors.
steer = Motor(Port.C)
front = Motor(Port.A, Direction.COUNTERCLOCKWISE)
rear = Motor(Port.B, Direction.COUNTERCLOCKWISE)

# Lower the acceleration so the car starts and stops realistically.
front.control.limits(acceleration=1000)
rear.control.limits(acceleration=1000)

# Connect to the remote.
remote = Remote()

# Find the steering endpoint on the left and right.
# The middle is in between.
left_end = steer.run_until_stalled(-200, then=Stop.HOLD)
right_end = steer.run_until_stalled(200, then=Stop.HOLD)

# We are now at the right. Reset this angle to be half the difference.
# That puts zero in the middle.
steer.reset_angle((right_end - left_end) / 2)
steer.run_target(speed=200, target_angle=0, wait=False)

# Now we can start driving!
while True:
    # Check which buttons are pressed.
    pressed = remote.buttons.pressed()

    # Choose the steer angle based on the left controls.
    steer_angle = 0
    if Button.LEFT_PLUS in pressed:
        steer_angle -= 75
    if Button.LEFT_MINUS in pressed:
        steer_angle += 75

    # Steer to the selected angle.
    steer.run_target(500, steer_angle, wait=False)

    # Choose the drive speed based on the right controls.
    drive_speed = 0
    if Button.RIGHT_PLUS in pressed:
        drive_speed += 1000
    if Button.RIGHT_MINUS in pressed:
        drive_speed -= 1000

    # Apply the selected speed.
    front.run(drive_speed)
    rear.run(drive_speed)

    # Wait.
    wait(10)

Are you using https://beta.pybricks.com? The remote control is still under development and hasn't made it to https://code.pybricks.com yet.

Just realized the same - with the beta version it's running.
Thanks a lot!

...would be great to add a comment to the project that it's only available in beta.
