Warning
You only have to follow these steps if you have to connect to an actual robot.
For a VM, it is necessary to bridge wireless networks and wired networks (when using LAN) from the host machine to the VM. Follow these instructions in VirtualBox.
- Network
- Adapter 2
- Enable Network Adapter
- Attached to Bridged Adapter
- Name should be your wired adapter
Note
In case you're unable to connect to a robot (i.e. ssh <robotname>
doesn't work), try installing Wireshark and monitoring the packets to diagnose the issue. Also try pinging by the expected IP address of the robot, ping <robotname>.local
, and checking the output of avahi-browse -av
.
