Follow these steps to connect to the Cortex website:

  1. Ensure the Raspberry Pi is plugged in with an SD card configured so the system acts as a wi-fi hotspot
  2. Connect to the SSID cortex with the password cortex10
  3. Point your web browser to 192.168.42.1:3000 (or simply cortex:3000 if you have a Mac or any other machine with mDNS)

Follow these steps to connect to the Raspberry Pi:

  1. Ensure the Raspberry Pi is plugged in with an SD card configured so the system acts as a wi-fi hotspot
  2. Connect to the SSID cortex with the password cortex10
  3. SSH to the Pi (ssh 192.168.42.1 -l pi with password raspberry)
  4. Run tail -f /var/log/syslog to see the system connection logs

Note: The DHCP server may not properly boot due to a race condition with the wifi driver (as explained here). A workaround is to log into the pi directly (not via ssh) and manually start the dhcp server by running sudo service isc-dhcp-server start
