WLAN Control / 7x PocketVJ / change WLAN IP #85

Closed cosmos525 closed 4 years ago

cosmos525 commented 5 years ago

Hey there, I‘m new to github an Pocket VJ.

We are planning a Project with 7 pocketVJ Devices. We like to trigger them with OSC commands or TCP via WLAN.

Rightnow we have one device to check if it could be Later I like to set them to divverend IP adresses to join one Wlan. They are delivered with fixed WLan IP. In the web interface I searched for he option to change the IP adresse for the WLAN, but didnt find. Just for the ethernet port.

How can I do that? Thank you for your Suggestions & Ideas. And maybe some experiences with such wireless
( we have no possibility for cabling)

There is no function in CP to change the Wifi IP.

I think best solution for connecting 7 PocketVJs would be by setting up a WIFI router for only the PocketVJ network, and change the PocketVJ from Hotspot mode to connect to your Wifi network.

Thank you. Can you give me a hint, how to do this? Where can I change the Wifi mode?

magdesign commented 5 years ago

in /etc/network/interfaces change it to something like this: https://github.com/magdesign/PocketVJ-CP-v3/blob/master/sync/interfaceswifi

backup the original file first....

Where should I place, or found, that file on my raspberry? Is there a way to change this settings from the raspberry terminal? I need to connect the pocketvj to Internet through the wifi because the ethernet is used to control the Projector. Thanks Gabrio

EDIT: I've found the file in var/www/sync but editing it with my SSID and Password, nothing happens. When I click on "WiFi ON" in the browser the pocketvj appear to be in AP mode because I see the vj100 wifi network

How do I connect 5 Pocketvjs to wireless router? They sync fine via Ethernet to the router. Router is only connected to laptop and pocketVJ’s only local network, no internet needed. I have version 3.7, CP 2.5.0

Make sure your router is set to 192.168.2.1 Then connect your PocketVJs via RJ45 cable.

Electroman1000 commented 5 years ago

Yes that works perfectly, but I would rather connect VJ’s via WiFi to the router

magdesign commented 5 years ago

This is not a simple task. You need to configure quite a lot of stuff in the system, its not officially supported on PocketVJ RTC.

Ok thanks for the quick response
