To connect to a Raspberry Pi using SSH or VNC, you need to know the Pi’s IP address.
If you use the Raspberry Pi with a monitor, you can check the Pi’s IP from the command line (terminal) by executing the hostname -I command.
Without a monitor and keyboard (headless) you can find the Raspberry Pi’s IP if you connect it to LAN (Local Area Network).
In this note i will show how to find the Raspberry Pi’s IP on network. (more…)
You can connect the external HDD, SSD or USB flash dives to any of the USB ports on the Raspberry Pi and mount the file system to access the data stored on it.
In this article i will show how to manually or automatically at boot time mount a storage device on the example of a USB flash drive.
I will also show how to mount USB storage devices automatically when they are plugged in, and unmount them when they are removed using usbmount tool. (more…)
If you don’t want to corrupt the file system on SD card, you should always shutdown and reboot Raspberry Pi correctly (not just by pulling the power cable out).
To shutdown or reboot Raspberry Pi safely through the GUI, simply search the menu for the corresponding buttons.
In this note i will show how to shutdown or reboot Raspberry Pi safely from the command line. (more…)
Max operating temperature of Raspberry Pi is 85°C.
If the temperature exceeds 82°C, then the CPU’s clock speed will be slowed until the temperature drops below 82°C.
So it is very important to monitor the temperature of the board and Raspberry Pi has a built-in sensor for this.
In this note i will show how to check the CPU/GPU temperature of Raspberry Pi. (more…)
