i bought the complete system from Amazon and got it running with it plugged into Ethernet.
Now I want to connect it with WiFi instead. I have found some threads on how to change some lines of instructions but I CANT EVEN FIGURE OUT HOW TO CONNECT TO THE RASPBERRY!
Can this be done by connecting the Pi Ethernet jack directly to the ethernet port on my mac?
Does this Pi already have wifi on board? I bought a dongle in case it doesn’t.
Because this is a proprietary Pi I cant even seem to take the SD card out…does it comeout? I don’t want to force it and break something.
You have done Sections 1 & 2 so go to Section 3 called Optional: Enable Wi-Fi and follow the instructions for editing the config file and adding the SSID and password.
You then should follow these instructions so that you can enable SSH and to change settings in the future from a terminal rather than having to pop out the microSD card.
The microSD card should slide out of the bottom of the Pi but often it doesn’t quite clear the cutout.
No need to open it if you have a USB keyboard and Monitor/TV with HDMI cable.
Connect the Keyboard to a spare USB port.
Connect the HDMI cable to a monitor (or even a TV).
login use these details
run sudo raspi-config
enable ssh to that you can ssh into the device
