make sure the wifi works on pi

ConleyGao commented 6 years ago

SecureW2 is installed but not working return " Could not configure wireless network " Maybe helpful https://www.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/comments/3r7pwh/connecting_to_eduroam_issues/

chatted with UMASS IT , they told me SecureW2 does not support raspian . They might able to help if we bring the device to them ( I don't trust them ) .

I remember there is a way to manually set up the wifi. You have to select which authentication and which 2nd layer authentication. I am not sure whether we can use that or not, but the instruction can be found at the bottom of this page: https://www.umass.edu/it/eduroam-setup-guides
You mentioned it is working with the ethernet cable. Can we just plug it in all the time? We don't exactly need the desktop ;)

ConleyGao commented 6 years ago

no sure how to do bullet one

ethernet cable is a solution but wifi will be better because we can ssh into it when it's on flight

ToddHuaJi commented 6 years ago

I don't think it would be safe to ssh into it mid-flight. I think we can get by with ethernet for now, unless something else absolutely needs WiFi. The Pi shouldn't leave the lab unless we are testing it out anyway.

ToddHuaJi commented 6 years ago

This might be a problem when we are trying to connect with mission planner.

All praise to https://gist.github.com/AlexLamson/b6812a4e0c3434901750661514a6f9fc

Confirmed no ethernet connection. I also reboot the pi to make sure #45 is still working, and I can successfully ssh in!

Marking read for review.

Due to an unfortunate event, we reflashed the system, but wifi still works following above instruction. Closing this because it is verified.

ConleyGao commented 6 years ago

Could you be specific about unfortunate event so the same problem won't happen again

Will post work log once finished

We weren't thinking when we formated the SD card... So all the ngrok part is gone. XD
