Just finished assembly and run all the python procedures from my PC. However when I bring up the instruction web pages and try to connect it spins tring to conect to an agent forever. I expected it to try and not find the client then allow the download but it just spins forever. Is connecting to the PiCar-X possible from and ipad?
What software are you using to connect to the PiCar-X and can you take a screenshot of the connection error message?
Just received my PiCarX a few weeks ago, so it is V20 and the ipad is using Chrome (Version 126.0.6478.153) and accessing https://docs.sunfounder.com/projects/picar-x-20/latest). If i try and connect using the Disconnected icon on that page the Agent popup is presented and it just spins for ever. No such problem when my PC tries the same operation; at first it asked to download and after installing the create agent it connects succssfully.
Also; using either chrome or firefox on my ipad puts up a warning for a few seconds to use either chrome or firefox and then disappears
After you have successfully installed SunFounderCreateAgent, open SunFounderCreateAgent, then go to click on Connect Disconnected and enter the Raspberry Pi IP, username and password to connect.
Remember, your computer network should be in the same LAN as Raspberry Pi’s IP network to connect successfully.
Or you can choose between these connection methods, please see the tutorial:

Thanks, but I’m not getting that far on the ipad. I do get the full dialog on my PC (including the ability to download the client the first time) but on the ipad when I click ‘disconnect’ (chrome) it spins forever and doesnt prompt me to download the client software. I can connect, ssh, and Filezilla from my PC but I’ve rebooted the ipad and stll can’t download the client software. I also just tried a friend’s ipad and same result.
If you use Python code to control picar-x, we recommend you to use computer PC to do it, because our Python code, some of them need keyboard letters to control.
If you want to control picar-x on iPad, we recommend you to use ezblock APP to control picar-x.
We have two modes to control picar-x.
1.Python code control:
https://docs.sunfounder.com/projects/picar-x-v20/en/latest/python/play_with_python.html
2 . ezblock APP control:

Make sure to check out our online tutorials.
Ok, thanks. I will use my PC to develop python. I was trying to set up an environment for my grandson (who doesn’t have a PC) but he will try using a Mac book and if that works that will be great. Thanks for your support.
If you are using a Mac to control picar-x from python, please see the tutorial link for how to connect:
https://docs.sunfounder.com/projects/picar-x-v20/en/latest/python/python_start/remote_macosx.html
Once you have a successful ssh connection, the steps for installing the code are the same as in the tutorial:
