Download files to the device: The current VS Code project can be sent to an ev3dev device with a single click.
-
Remotely run programs: Click any executable file to run it.
Right-clicking works too.
Error messages will be displayed in the output pane.

This extension is only compatible with ev3dev-stretch snapshot images starting
with 2017-07-25. It will not work with other versions of ev3dev.
This extension contributes the following settings:
ev3devBrowser.password: If you changed the password on your ev3dev device, you will need to set the password here.ev3devBrowser.env: If you need to set environment variables for running remote programs, you can set them here.ev3devBrowser.sendToDevice.include: Use this to specify which files to included when downloading files to the remote device. Can use glob patterns.ev3devBrowser.sendToDevice.exclude: Use this to specify which files to exclude when downloading files to the remote device. Can use glob patterns.ev3devBrowser.sendToDevice.directory: By default files are downloaded to a folder with the same name as the VS Code project. Use this setting to save the project files somewhere else. Paths are relative to the/home/robotdirectory.
- Currently, all downloaded files have the executable bit set.
- Devices don't disappear from the list on macOS when they are disconnected.
- Stopping a program only sends
SIGTERM. If that doesn't actually stop the program then it can't be stopped remotely. There is not a way to sendSIGKILLto forcefully stop it. - Each SSH terminal session starts a new SSH connection. These could be shared.
