Install ev3dev on your ev3 and establish an SSH connection before proceeding. Guides for this are at ev3dev.org

1. Install the required software libraries and tools. Make sure you don’t get any errors in the console when doing the step below. If you have an issue, you can run this line again, and that will usually fix it!

   sudo apt update
   sudo apt upgrade -y
   sudo apt install ffmpeg python-serial python-dev libgnutls28-dev espeak python-smbus python-pip git

2. Download the remotv control scripts from our github

   git clone https://github.com/DanGamingTV/ev3-controller.git ~/remotv

3. Install python requirements

   sudo python -m pip install -r ~/remotv/requirements.txt

4. Open the new remotv directory

   cd remotv

5. Copy controller.sample.conf to controller.conf

   cp controller.sample.conf controller.conf

1. Edit the controller.conf file created in the previous section.

   nano controller.conf

2. Configure the [robot] section

   • owner should be the username you have registered the robot under on the remo.tv site.
   • robot_key is the API key for your robot that you made on the site.
     • Your API key is LONG. It should look something like eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpZCI6InJib3QtNTVjZjJmMjUtNjBhNS00ZDJkLTk5YzMtOGZmOGRiYWU4ZDQ1IiwiaWF0IjoxNTczNTExMDA2LCJzdWIiOiIifQ.LGXSBSyQ4T4X5xU_w3QJD6R3lLjrrkw_QktOIDzRW5U. If it is not this long, you have not copied the full key.

SSH into your robot, and make sure it has internet access. Navigate into the ~/remotv folder

cd ~/remotv

Then run this

brickrun -- echo YOURLINUXPASSWORDHERE | python3 controller.py
