- Buy Raspberry pi at modmypi.com.
- Install Raspbian
- Use etcher to write Raspbian image on disk.
- Boot image as is. Do not expand image! This will be done at first boot.
- Find the pi
ping raspberrypi.local
- Enable SSH
- Mount SD card
- Create a file ssh on boot partition [1]:
touch /media/*/boot/ssh
- 1st login
- User
pi
. - Password
raspberry
. - Sudo access without password.
- Configure
sudo raspi-config

Network
Detect all Raspberry Pi on local network
From [2].
sudo nmap -sP 192.168.1.0/24 | awk '/^Nmap/{ip=$NF}/B8:27:EB/{print ip}'
where 192.168.1.*
will be your local network mask.
We can also simply look for string Raspberry
since nmap
correctly identifies pi mac address:
sudo nmap -sP 192.168.1.0/24 | grep -B2 Raspberry
where 192.168.1.*
will be your local network mask.
- Raspberry in BRIDGE mode
- Methods above fail if Raspberry is setup to bridge wlan0-eth0 connections. In that case, the visible MAC address is the one of the wlan0 interface. It can be detected because the address will be reported twice:
sudo nmap -sP 172.19.2.0/23|sort|uniq -d
# Host is up (0.18s latency).
# MAC Address: 00:0F:13:05:46:C2 (Nisca) <-- MAC address of the Pi in bridge mode
# MAC Address: 80:86:F2:99:56:B5 (Intel Corporate)
- Now we can repeat the request above to get the IP address:
sudo nmap -sP 172.19.2.0/23 | awk '/^Nmap/{ip=$NF}/00:0F:13/{print ip}'
Setup WiFi
Reference:
The quickest way is to use raspi-config tool
sudo raspi-config
Otherwise, setting up WiFi is quite easy.
- First get the WiFi network details:
sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
# wlan0 Scan completed :
# Cell 01 - Address: A1:B2:C3:D4:E5:F6
# Channel:6
# Frequency:2.437 GHz (Channel 6)
# Quality=69/70 Signal level=-41 dBm
# Encryption key:off
# ESSID:"testing"
# Bit Rates:1 Mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 Mb/s; 11 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s
# 24 Mb/s; 36 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s
# Bit Rates:6 Mb/s; 9 Mb/s; 12 Mb/s; 48 Mb/s
- Create a new
network
entry in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
network={
ssid="testing"
psk="testingPassword"
}
- Better yet, use
wpa_passphrase
to generate an encrypted PSK:
wpa_passphrase testing >> sudo tee -a /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf > /dev/null
sudo vi /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
# network={
# ssid="testing"
# #psk="testingPassword" <-- REMOVE THIS LINE!!!
# psk=131e1e221f6e06e3911a2d11ff2fac9182665c004de85300f9cac208a6a80531
# }
- Remove the password from the output produced by
wpa_passphrase
for extra security.
- On Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, set the country code in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
country=BE
- Reconfigure the interface
sudo wpa_cli -i wlan0 reconfigure
- Check interface configuration
ip addr show dev wlan0
It is also possible to
- Configure multiple WiFi networks.
- Set a priority, eg.
priority=1
.
Setup Pi as WiFi HotSpot (router)
This setup the Pi has a WiFi access point (AP) in router mode (NAT).
