communicating with hub (brick?)

[brhodewalt]

First, "hub" or "brick"?

Next, how can I communicate in real time between a PC or Mac (via USB)?

Related question: Can I upload custom media files to the hub/brick?

Thanks!

For Powered Up, we usually say "hub" for EV3/NXT, we say "brick". But they are pretty much interchangeable. Which hub/brick are you using?

Pybricks currently only supports communication via Bluetooth Low Energy on the newer Powered Up devices. EV3 is a bit different.

I’m using EV3. Sorry that wasn’t clear.

In that case, you can use the USB as a network connection and use basic network sockets or anything that builds on top of that (HTTP, MQTT, etc.).

As for media files, the easiest thing to do is just include them in you project folder and it will be included when you download and run (assuming you are using the ev3dev VS Code extension). If you have files that you want to share with may projects, you could create a new folder like /home/robot/media/ and copy all of your files there.

Thank you. I see your advice about including media files in the folder is included in the documentation itself. I'm having a bit of trouble keeping straight which Python/EV version/OS I'm reading about at any one moment.
