Re: Activate auto-hotspot on zBitx?


 

I took a different approach setting up a unused cell phone as a hotspot and connecting the zbitx to it and the running the web interface from that phone.

Thanks for the reply, Dave. There is no Ethernet connection on the zBitX, only HDMI for a monitor and USB for keyboards and a mouse or whatever. The Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W does have bluetooth and WiFi capability built on, though. On another project I use that and the capability to automatically create a hotspot when no known WiFi is present to be able to got into the RPi menu by connecting with a laptop or tablet (or phone, for that matter) using VNC and enter the new WiFi name and password. But I installed that capability some years ago using a now defunct program called BAP that installed those things. I am researching and should be able to do the same thing on the zBitx, but was hoping someone had already doe it and could let me know how they did it. If I figure it out first, I'll post how it was done.
