Sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_nf #add new entry to known wifi's #Go to the bottom of the file and add the following: network =:8081 (assuming you did not change Motion's port in nf) into your computer's browser (within your home's LAN). If you have the Wi-Fi dongle, Monitor, HDMI cable, and USB Keyboard plug them all into the Pi and turn it on. If you have the ethernet cable, plug in the Pi and connect to it via SSH (covered in next section), then follow the instructions below to setup Wi-Fi. If your Pi did not come with an OS pre-installed (mine did) then follow the links below to get it up and running. There are already a lot of great resources for installing an OS onto the Pi, and I don't think I can add much to that discussion. Raspian is the one made specifically with the Pi in mind. Linux is a free, open-source OS with a variety of distributions, each with their own flavors, abilities, and idiosyncrasies.
Thus, the Pi requires an Operating System (OS) for software to interface with its hardware.
The ESSID (ssid) for the network in this case is testing and the password (psk) testingPassword.The Pi itself is a full fledged computer, with much more RAM and processing power than a microcontroller like Arduinio. For most home routers this is located on a sticker on the back of the router.
You will also need the password for the WiFi network. This guide should work for WPA or WPA2, but may not work for WPA2 enterprise for WEP hex keys see the last example here. This is the authentication used in this case it is WPA2, the newer and more secure wireless standard which replaces WPA1. This will list all available WiFi networks along with other useful information.
To scan for WiFi networks, use the command sudo iwlist wlan0 scan. Also note that no additional software is required everything you need is already included on the Raspberry Pi.
It is especailly suited for use with a serial console cable if you don't have access to a screen or wired Ethernet network. This method is suitable if you do not have access to the graphical user interface normally used to set up WiFi on the Raspberry Pi. Taken from the Raspberry Pi Foundation here: On reboot (if configured correctly) your wifi will be working. Place your network details here (note only works on WPA networks) If you wish to connect to wifi without needing an extra keyboard you can add a file to the boot partition of the sd card called wifikeyfile.txt Type your Wifi Password (You may need to wait a bit after you finish for the configurations to save)Īfter it's done configuring you should see your wifi info in the original menu: You can access this from the Retropie menu in emulationstation (you can also access it from option 3 in the RetroPie setup script): There are 5 main methods to configure Wifi: You can start raspi-config from the RetroPie menu in EmulationStation or from the command line with sudo raspi-config. It’s under menu 5 Localisation options in raspi-config. NOTE: In order to use the WiFi on the Raspberry Pi, you will need to first configure the WLAN Country via raspi-config. You may want to use an USB WiFi dongle, then see here. You can check to see if your wifi dongle is compatible here. If you have a Raspberry Pi 3, WiFi is built into the Pi, if you have a Pi2 or earlier model, then you'll need a wifi dongle.
