👩🏽‍💻 Step 2: Connecting to Our Car via SSH

We first need to connect to our car via WiFi. This step is tricky so it is ok if your car doesn’t connect on the first go!

Use the format ssh username@hostname.local and use the username and hostname you configured in the previous Imaging the Raspberry Pi OS step in Advanced Options settings.

For example, yours may look like ssh pi@raspberrypi.local (or ssh pi@robotcar1.local if using a classroom router).

• Turn on car
• Make sure your computer is on the same WiFi as your robot car
• Open Command Prompt (cmd)
• ssh pi@YOURHOSTNAME.local
• Type to allow access: yes
• Type password: raspberry You won’t see this being typed!

• Turn on car
• Make sure your computer is on the same WiFi as your robot car
• Open Terminal
• ssh pi@YOURHOSTNAME.local
