Get the Revo 3 SDK

Documentation series 2.xCurrent release 2.0.0Stable release

Revo 3 SDK v2.x uses the Manager / Hand object model and provides Python, C ABI, and C++ interfaces. It covers discovery, connection management, motion, state and touch data, configuration, calibration, and firmware maintenance.

This page applies only to Revo 3. Revo 1 and Revo 2 use their own independent SDK packages; do not treat those version numbers as Revo 3 SDK v2.x versions.

The public Revo 3 example repository is brainco-revo3-sdk, while the Python wheel package is bc-revo3-sdk.

What changed in 2.x

Python 2.x does not export modbus_open(), DeviceContext, or module-level revo3_set_*() domain operations. Create a Manager, connect to obtain a Hand, and use the capability objects exposed by that hand:

Manager
└── Hand
    ├── motion
    ├── state
    ├── touch
    ├── health
    ├── config
    ├── calibration
    └── maintenance

Python and C++ object methods omit the revo3_ prefix. Public C ABI symbols retain it.
