Connectivity

The Connectivity page manages all wireless connections: XBee controller pairing, Wi-Fi settings, and Bluetooth gamepad pairing.


XBee Controllers

Once your XBee modules are programmed with matching PAN IDs (see XBee Setup), connected controllers will appear here with their XBee addresses.

Setting Description
Drive Controller Address XBee 64-bit address of the controller assigned to drive
Dome Controller Address XBee 64-bit address of the controller assigned to dome

Tap Pair next to a discovered controller to assign it. The assignment is saved and persists across reboots.


Wi-Fi

Setting Description
SSID The name of the Wi-Fi network Amidala broadcasts. Default: Amidala.
Password Wi-Fi password. Leave blank for an open network.
Hostname mDNS hostname. Default: amidala (resolves as http://amidala.local).

Changes take effect after a restart.


Bluetooth Controller

Amidala supports standard Bluetooth HID gamepads as an alternative to XBee controllers.

To pair:

  1. Put your Bluetooth gamepad in pairing mode
  2. Click Scan on this page
  3. Select your controller from the list

The paired controller's address is saved. On subsequent boots, Amidala automatically reconnects.

The Droid Status page shows whether the Bluetooth controller is currently connected.
