Re: #sbitx A cool (kludgy) way to remotely use the sbitx #sBitx

It's not the "ssh" part that's tricky, it's the "ssh -X" (enable X11 forwarding). No X11 on Windows without heroic measures.

As someone else said, an alternative approach that might work on more client platforms would be running a VNC server on the RPi.

Windows 10 and onward includes an SSH client. Just open a cmd window. Can't remember if it needs to be installed. It may be added when you install the Windows Subsystem for Linux. Remember, M$ and Linux are in bed together now ;-)

First, enable ssh on the sbitx.
1. From the main menu, Choose Preferences > Raspberry Pi Configuration
2. Click on the Interfaces tab
3. On the tab and enable SSH if not enabled, Click OK
4. From a terminal on the sbitx, type ifconfig and note the IP address of the sbitx. In my case it was 192.168.1.142

Second, from your linux laptop (yeah, it wont work with windoze, it might work on a mac, let us know)
1. Open a terminal window
2. Enable remote x clients to connect with the command "xhost?+" (without quotes)
3. Next, ssh to your sbitx with a special option like this :
 ssh [email protected] -X
Enter your password (by default it is hf12345).
4. Now you are connected to the sbitx. Go into the sbitx directory 
and execute the program like this:
cd sbitx
./sbitx
