Some more tips using headless wireless Raspberry pi2.
When you have made SSH connection with a PC,
your raspberry pi computer can use files in a server located in the PC.
(Note : if you have x11vnc up and running then you can use YASSM
but I am describing if you can't get x11vnc to work)
Instructions : Make a folder in /root/network/
mkdir -p /root/network/Shared
then one more command
Code: Select all
mount-Full -t cifs //192.168.1.xxx/SharedDocs /root/network/Shared
where 192.168.1.xxx is the PC address and SharedDocs is the share folder name
(you should fill in your own parameters for your home network)
You should be able to play music from server using
Code: Select all
cd /root/network/Shared
omxplayer [musicfile]
____________________________________________
If found x11vnc easy to setup. First make sure SSH is running correctly.
where 192.168.1.yyy is my raspberrypi2 address.
Type in password 'woofwoof'
and then type 'x11vnc' in SSH terminal.
Port 5900 is automatically set.
You now need a x11vnc viewer.
Check with your PC repository.
Fatdog linux has it built-in. That is why I like it.
The size of viewer window is small but useable.
________________________________________________
Using SSH you can shutdown your raspberry pi2 using simple command
but power is still connected to board so undo cable .
