to use raspberry pi, with monitor, windows, mac, and ubuntu
- 1.installation
- (optional) 2. sharing WiFi
- 3. Total Setup to notebook
- 4. SSH
- 5. RemoteVNC
- 6. add Wi-Fi to RPI
- 7. First time SSH and VNC
- 8. Use case 1: Quectel
- Download Raspberry Pi Imager from https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/
- select device as RPI3 or RPI4
- in case install in Windows: https://medium.com/@chatchamonphoojaroenchanachai/%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A3%E0%B9%83%E0%B8%8A%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%87%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A3%E0%B9%8C%E0%B8%94-raspberry-pi-3-model-b-rpi-4ca6a0f5ce01
Equipment for accessing the RPI for the first time:
- RPI4 Power Cord (Type C)
- RPI4 board
- SD card 32 GB
- LAN cable (connect to CPE)
- CPE
- HDMI to mini-HDMI (connect to monitor)
- Keyboard (connect to RPI board)
- Mouse (connect to RPI board)
- and Monitor (connect between HDMI (monitor) and mini-HDMI (to RPI4))
- keep in mind that if the board can connect to WiFi, it will blink yellow led
- In case you do not have CPE/Router, you need to connect LAN to your computer to share the internet so that we can update the RPI for the first time
control panel -> changing adapter option -> Wi-Fi -> Properties -> Sharing -> allow other networks users to connect through this computer's internet connectioncontrol panel -> changing adapter option -> Wi-Fi -> Properties -> TCP/IPv4 -> IP address: 192.168.137.1 -> Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
setting -> WiFi -> TCP/IP: Using DHCPand if the connection turns out correct it will show like this
input: SD card, LAN to router, power adapter to computer
- Input: SD card, LAN to router, power adapter to computer
- This is not for first time using the RPI!!!
- in case your rpi is headless (no monitor), you can connect the rpi to the computer and try to find its ip address. \
>> arp -a

and you may ping every address that is showing
or tested in ping raspberrypi.local and see the address
>> ping raspberrypi.local
PING raspberrypi.local (192.168.1.36): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.1.36: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=131.686 ms

therefore, the raspberry pi connect to 192.168.1.36
when you have address, you can ssh to the rpi

Interface options -> VNC -> enableDisplay options -> VNC Resolition -> (max) 1920x1080- may need to reboot the RPI through the SSH screen
sudo reboot
- download: https://www.realvnc.com/en/connect/download/viewer/
- enter IP address of RPI
- when enter the screen, enter username and password.
username: chatchamon, password = 12345678 - The incomplete network won't show the top tap (including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Battery display)
- the correct RPI interface will include the top tab
- can see IP address by hovering above the Wi-Fi icon, or see on VNC program
- see VNC setup
- change

need to have notebook and RPI in the same network, therefore both the laptop and rpi must connect to the same WiFi/LAN
- have CPE with SIM TRUE
- connect RPI and Notebook with WiFi from (the CPE w/SIM TRUE)
- collect IP address of the RPI which shown on the screen (the CPE w/SIM TRUE)
- Notebook VNC to RPI
then change from commercial sim to other WiFi
- connect RPI to WiFi
- see new RPI IP address on notebook's VNC
- change notebook to WiFi
- Notebook VNC to new RPI address
-
make RPI connect to internet via 4G/5G using Quectel board. The end result is to be able to ping with 4G/5G using
AT command, orwwan0 interface, orVNC to the RPI -
see Quectel setup info at the repository: https://github.com/pchat-imm/quectel_rm510q_gl
-
see if the RPI can detect hardware connected

- as the sim is commercial, we need to config it through AT command at minicom
>> sudo minicom -s
- and set the
Serial Ports Setup, to haveSerial Device: /dev/ttyUSB2, andHardware Flow Control: No - then
save as dfl, beforeexit - at minicom, use AT command
