Gautam and I were able to get the Raspberry Pi up and running today, including being able to ssh into it from the control room.
Below are some details about the setup/procedure that might be helpful to anyone trying to establish Ethernet connection for a new RPi, or a new operating system/SD card.
Here is the physical setup:


The changes that need to be made for a new Raspbian OS in order to communicate with it over ssh are as follows, with links to tutorials on how to do them:
1. Edit dhcpcd.conf file: https://www.modmypi.com/blog/how-to-give-your-raspberry-pi-a-static-ip-address-update
2. Edit interfaces file: https://www.mathworks.com/help/supportpkg/raspberrypi/ug/getting-the-raspberry_pi-ip-address.html
3. Enable ssh server: http://www.instructables.com/id/Use-ssh-to-talk-with-your-Raspberry-Pi/
The specific addresses for the RPi we set up today are:
IP Address: 192.168.113.107
Gateway/Routers/Domain Name Servers: 192.168.113.2
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
GV: I looked through /etc/var/bind/martian.hosts on chiara and decided to recycle the IP address for Domenica.martian as no RPis are plugged in right now... I'm also removing some of the attachments that seem to have been uploaded multiple times. |
