[Feature] : A simple interface for changing the Brick Name for Bluetooth connections #12

Closed devinbreise closed 4 years ago

devinbreise commented 4 years ago

Our lab will be using multiple EV3s and multiple PCs. To help the kids keep track of which programmer is connected to which brick, we would benefit from a kid-friendly way to rename the bricks in the Bluetooth address space. We have found the instructions below, but we would prefer not to teach the kids sudo... ;)

Current workaround: In an SSH terminal, run sudo ev3dev-config, the go to Advanced Options and select Hostname. There seems to be a bug after this where the menu program disappears. Just press ENTER and it will come back. Then you can type in the new name.

Hi thanks for the suggestion. This comes from the ev3dev project and is out of scope for Pybricks (we just do MicroPython here 😄).

There is an issue for this already at ev3dev.org that you can subscribe to https://github.com/ev3dev/ev3dev/issues/1251
