raspberry pi and modules

[Maomocake]

Hey guys, I'm trying to code for a raspberry pi on the go so I was wondering is there like a simulator for the pi where i can code ,with modules and sensors attached , but still only just carry a laptop (basically like an IDE with Pi functionality built in) if not possible just comment how i can put Rpi.GPIO library into pycharm

 

Thanks

Well if you search online you can find this Raspberry pi Simulator:

But it uses javascript and is kind of meh.

 

I have a better solution for you:

Make your Pi available from the internet. Only via a ssh key of course. And develop with VSCode Remote development.

 

So do the following:

 

• Setup a headless Raspberry Pi with SSH key
• Change standard password, disable root login and disable password login in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
• Make your pi available from outside your home network: Route port 22 to your pi and add a dyndns service (either router or your pi(try out duckdns or dynv6.com ))
• Now setup Visual Studio Code on your Laptop
• Install the Remote Develop extension pack https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.vscode-remote-extensionpack
• Now setup your raspberry pi as a remote target (follow the microsoft guides) (connect via your smartphone hotspot so you replicate your remote working)
• Now you should be able to even debug your software on the go

Also some tips you could try out:

• Use the Python extension in VSCode instead of pycharm. Might be worth a try
• Try out Platformio extension in VSCode. I think they offer even a different remote working solution. Never tried so far.

Last but not least. Don't give up. Have fun developing.
