If you're connecting to the TurboPi before we've set it up for the first time, this is your only option.

Open your computer's WiFi menu and let it scan for networks.

You should see a network that starts with HW- followed by a bunch of random letters and numbers. This is the WiFi access point created by the TurboPi

Note: There's no easy way to tell what the WiFi name will be. However, it is unique to the Pi board that's on the TurboPi, so it won't change.

If there are multiple TurboPis turned on and in AP mode (direct WiFi access point mode which is the default from the factory), then multiple networks like this will show up.

The password for the WiFi will be hiwonder.

The connection info for all TurboPis in direct AP mode is the same:
IP: 192.168.149.1
Hostname: raspberrypi
.local MDNS address: raspberrypi.local

Note: If you connect a TurboPi in direct AP mode via Ethernet to a router, and you're also connected to the router, the IP will be assigned via DHCP, but the hostname and .local adress will be the same as above. Both you and the TurboPi should have Internet while connected this way.

The connection info for TurboPis in router mode depends on the robot's number that was assigned during setup:
IP: 192.168.9.1ROBOTNUMBER
Hostname: turbopi-ROBOTNUMBER
.local MDNS address: turbopi-ROBOTNUMBER.local

ROBOTNUMBER is always a 2-digit number. So, here's what the connection info for robot 01 looks like:
IP: 192.168.9.101 .local MDNS address: turbopi-01.local

If you're on Windows, press ⊞ Start and search for Terminal and open it. Windows 10 users may need to download it from the Microsoft Store.

I presume Mac and Linux users already know which terminal emulator they'd like to use.

Once you're in your terminal, this is the structure of command you'll use to connect:

ssh pi@<ADDRESS>

The <ADDRESS> depends on your connection method, i.e. whether you're using direct AP, or if both you and the TurboPi are connected to the same router.

If you're on Windows or Linux, you can use the ip, bare hostname, or .local mdns name as the <ADDRESS>
If you're on a Mac, you can only use the ip or .local name.

So, for robot 01, you might use
ssh [email protected] or ssh [email protected] in router mode, or
ssh [email protected] in direct AP mode.

The password is raspberry.

A VNC viewer lets you control the TurboPi by broadcasting its screen to your computer.

• RealVNC Viewer (recommended for Windows/MacOS)
• TigerVNC (recommended for Ubuntu)

Note: The <ADDRESS> depends on your connection method, i.e. whether you're using direct AP, or if both you and the TurboPi are connected to the same router.

If you're on Windows or Linux, you can use the ip, bare hostname, or .local mdns name as the <ADDRESS>
If you're on a Mac, you can only use the ip or .local name.

1. Enter the <ADDRESS> into the URL bar in VNC viewer.
2. Enter the user info:

• Username: pi
• Password: raspberry
• (you can select Remember Password as this won't change across TurboPis)

3. If prompted, save the fingerprint (Yes)
4. Wait to be connected. You should see the Pi desktop once connected.
