Well it worked 100%. I was able to connect via wifi and run the car with the web version of Ezblock studio. Now I guess I will need to reflash the card again with my grandson’s wifi account and password so he can also connect. Is that true or will entering “raspberrypi” like I did allow him to connect and enter his password himself?
You can reflash as you say with your grandsons wifi details instead of your own, which you now know you can get working. So probably easier and what I would recommend.
Alternatively, you can ssh/vnc into the picar and add your grandsons wifi details to yours, such that he can use it at both locations, but unless you can see both his and your networks simultaneously, that will be more difficult, but can be done with networkmanager.
If you have 2 sdcards? Maybe flash one for your house and one for his?
If you reflash the system and configure it, providing the system with a WiFi network, it will generate a unique IP address upon successful configuration. You can then connect to this IP to access the system terminal for control.
If you are a Windows user, you can use PowerShell to remotely connect to Picar-X.
If you did not change the system’s hostname, username, or password during the configuration stage, the default username is: pi, the default password is: raspberry, and the default hostname is: raspberry.
So, the connection command using the hostname is:
ssh pi@raspberrypi.local
If you want to connect using the IP address, it would be:
ssh pi@
If you modified the hostname, username, or password during the configuration, your connection commands will be:
For hostname connection:
ssh @.local
For IP connection:
ssh @
