Network Access

Install Putty

Putty is the recommended SSH client (see e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_SSH_clients).

Install Putty and connect to the IP address on the small robot display.

Once connected, you have a command line control of the Raspberry Pi.

Fail to connect

If there is no IP on the robot, then consult Network_setup, maybe use the local link option.

Update software

Once connected to the Raspberry Pi of the robot, update the software:

Update operating system

The operating system is the recommended PI-OS 64bit system build on Debian.

Update using the commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade

The sudo is required to get administrator (super-user) privileges. the password is the users password.

Update the Robot software

The Robobot software is on an SVN (subversion) repository, update to newest version using:

cd svn/robobot
svn update
