Our plan is to control the robot through remote desktop or VNC

done via xrdp

hmartiro commented 11 years ago

xrdp works for logging in as a separate instance, but it might be nice to try other options like VNC

hmartiro commented 11 years ago

xrdp over WiFi works, but only when we know the assigned IP address. we need a way to access the CPU w/o having to check every time. Either register the IP with some DNS service (can we find a free way to do this?) or something else.

hmartiro commented 11 years ago

Installed No-IP, which automatically redirects xjus.no-ip.org to the public IP address of the board every time it starts up. However, ssh and rdp are working only through the private IP, so it's not figured out yet. Need to talk to someone from OIT maybe.

Talked to OIT, MAE tech advisors, and then Jon Prevost. I'm getting the beagle on a different subnet than dormnet to see if the ports will be open. If not, I can just try the email trick.
