Browser window
Instead of using our pre-configured Raspberry Pi OS image, you can also set up a dashboard on your Raspberry Pi for yourself by using a browser window.
This is targeted at people that already know how to work with and configure a Raspberry Pi.
If you never worked with a Raspberry Pi or have no experience or knowledge about Linux, please use our pre-configured
image.
Requirements
- A Raspberry Pi with an Operating System installed and running on it
- A browser installed on the Pi (Preferably chromium as this is the one we test on. But generally every modern browser should be fine)
- The MoBro Windows application running on your PC
- The Pi and PC both connected to the same network
Setup
With the above requirements in place, you will have to check for the IP address of your PC.
Then open a browser window on the Raspberry Pi and enter the following URL:
[PC_IP_ADDRESS]:42100?uuid=pi1&name=RaspberryPi
The Raspberry Pi will show up in MoBro as a new connected dashboard.
If you want to connect multiple Raspberry Pis to the same PC, the uuid must be different for all of them in order
for the
desktop application to be able to manage them correctly and store your selected dashboards etc.
So replace this part with something unique for each of your Raspberry Pis.
