A Issue In Python Controller

[Twisted-Fates]

Hello! When I open keyboard-pygame.py or keyboard-click.py，the phone can't connect my computer(Windows 10).

[thias15]

Can you please elaborate on the problem. Are you seeing some error message? Did you toggle to the "smartphone controller" on the OpenBot app.

Thankyou for your reply! This is my problem:

I assume you pasted a screenshot, but it does not show up on Github. Can you please try again or post in the Slack channel? Some general troubleshooting tips:

• Make sure the laptop and phone are both connected to the same network
• Make sure you are not connected to a VPN
• Restart the app and restart the python script

Please help me. I don't know how to deal with it.

It looks like you executed the pip install -r requirements.txt before activating the environment and it installed it in the base environment. So try conda deactivate so you are in the base environment where it seems to be installed and then run the script.

When you are in the openbot conda environment it seems pygame cannot be found which seems very strange since it is very common. You could also try to install pygame via conda using the command conda install -c cogsci pygame after activating the environment.

As you can see,when I use command conda install pygame it will wrong.

And I also try to run the script when conda deactivate but it always show "waiting for connection" and can't connect successfully.

[thias15]

When you run the conda install the error message states you don't have the channels for pygame, so you need to try the command I posted above: conda install -c cogsci pygame

[thias15]

When you do not have the environment activated and you see "Waiting for connection", this is the expected behavior, so it seems to be working. However, it seems the devices cannot see each other. If your router has a 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz mode, it could be that the phone and laptop are connected to different versions of your network. So you can try to disable the 5Ghz band on your router.

Are phone and laptop connected to the same WiFi? Do both have a valid IP address?

[Twisted-Fates]

My laptop create a Mobile hotspot and phone connect to it.

We have not tested it, but I don't know if a direct connection works at this point. Can you connect both the phone and laptop to a router?

[thias15]

@izivkov do you have any intuition if a direct connection via hotspot would work?

[izivkov]

I think somebody had a similar problem before. They resolved it by using one phone as a hotspot, and two other phones for the controller and the bot. They had problem if one of the phone was used as the hotspot and running the controller or the bot software on it. I think it has to do with how services are discovered on the network.

The connection was meant to be used as two devices on the same network connected to the same router.

[Twisted-Fates]

Thankyou for your reply! I will have a try.

Also, you can try the latest OpenBot app version from master. You can download it from here.

[thias15]

Ok, it seems the pygame in the conda channel needs python 3.5. So you need to downgrade your python installation. Or use the Installation outside the conda environment.

[thias15]

Did you try the app version I liked above outside the conda environment where the pygame installation had worked?

[thias15]

Any update?

Sorry！I am busy recently.（crying...）
