How to use pyrep with V-REP 3.6.2 to replace/call (legacy) remote api calls to reduce communication delay

Post by Uli_v »

I would like to use pyrep (https://github.com/stepjam/PyRep) to reduce the communication delay between my python script (client) and V-REP.

How easy is it to reuse my custom remote API function calls? Can I simply use pyrep to start V-REP within my script in a thread and call remote API function directly? I think there is a possibility to call child scripts in V-REP within pyrep (after looking at the pyrep source code a bit), that means I should be able to call remote API function in a child script. Would that reduce the communication delay?

Hello,

normally you should be able to directly call the C API functions of V-REP, as the PyRep wrapper does.

Cheers
