Make machine / hotspot accessible via WIFI
On Ubuntu 18.04 via UI:
1. Open network manager
2. Create a wifi connection
3. Configure as a hotspot
You can name the wifi as you like, and you need to select “Hotspot” for the Mode.
3.a Set a wifi password (optional)
In the Wi-fi security tab, you can setup an password to protect your jetson from being accessed by others.
4. Set auto-connect
In the “General” tab, you need to check “Automatically connect to this network when it is available” so it will start the wifi hotspot on boot.
5. Reboot
After rebooting your device, you should be able to connect it via the wifi hotspot and access OpenDataCam if started.
6. Get IP adress of Wifi hotpot
Click on the network icon on the top right > Connection Information
