Is it only possible to find the RPi. module when I'm connected with my Raspberry. I wanted to write the program first and then load it on to my Raspberry. But I get the Error that there is no RPi. module. (I downloaded Python 3.9 version but in my Project Interpreter it's version 3.7 and PyCharm 2018.3.4)

The RPi.GPIO module only runs on the Raspberry Pi.

You will have to create your own dummy copy if you want to develop on another computer.

I have had this issue myself.

What you are after is a mock library. Give this one a go:

https://pypi.org/project/Mock.GPIO/

pip install Mock.GPIO

Just replace your import:

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO

with:

import Mock.GPIO as GPIO
