WEBVTT 00:00.140 --> 00:04.880 This lesson is not needed if you have everything working correctly with VNC. 00:05.030 --> 00:08.720 You can skip and go directly to the next section. 00:08.750 --> 00:13.160 However, I will introduce here another way to connect to your Raspberry Pi desktop. 00:13.160 --> 00:15.710 And I'm doing this for two reasons. 00:15.710 --> 00:19.100 First, it looks quite promising and easy to use. 00:19.100 --> 00:25.070 And second, well, if somehow you got completely stuck with VNC and you still don't have access to 00:25.100 --> 00:31.130 the desktop interface, well, this is an alternative way you can try and very basically put, what 00:31.130 --> 00:36.020 we will do is we will set up something on the Raspberry Pi, and then we will be able to access the 00:36.020 --> 00:39.140 desktop from a web browser. 00:39.170 --> 00:39.560 Okay. 00:39.590 --> 00:41.750 So anywhere you have a web browser. 00:41.750 --> 00:48.050 So if you have Linux, Mac or Windows, well you can have a web browser in any of those. 00:48.050 --> 00:53.870 So you should be able to connect to your Raspberry Pi from any operating system and actually from any 00:53.870 --> 00:54.530 device. 00:54.530 --> 00:59.920 So it could be a phone, it could be a tablet anywhere you can open a web browser, you should be able 00:59.920 --> 01:02.650 to access to the Raspberry Pi desktop. 01:02.680 --> 01:05.200 Okay, so now I'm going to show you how to configure that. 01:05.200 --> 01:11.050 Just note that for the following of this course I will still use VNC, but you may just try it, test 01:11.080 --> 01:13.090 it and do as you want. 01:13.120 --> 01:20.470 And the second note is that this only works with Raspberry Pi, OS bookworm and more recent operating 01:20.470 --> 01:20.860 system. 01:20.860 --> 01:26.860 So if you are still using an old operating system on the Raspberry Pi, well, flash the new one. 01:26.890 --> 01:30.100 Okay, it's only going to work with the new versions. 01:30.100 --> 01:36.100 So first of all, you can open a web browser and just search for Raspberry Pi Connect. 01:36.130 --> 01:36.520 Okay. 01:36.550 --> 01:39.160 And you should get to a page like this. 01:39.160 --> 01:45.070 So as of today as I'm recording this, it's still in beta mode okay. 01:45.100 --> 01:47.290 It's probably going to go out of beta soon. 01:47.290 --> 01:49.840 So you can get access to this here. 01:49.840 --> 01:52.660 And you can just sign in to Raspberry Pi Connect. 01:52.660 --> 01:54.340 So you create an account here. 01:54.340 --> 01:56.380 I have just linked my Google account to it. 01:56.380 --> 02:02.760 So you create an account and then you should get to this dashboard or something similar. 02:02.790 --> 02:09.120 After you have created the account and logged in and the URL that I have here is connect raspberrypi. 02:09.150 --> 02:11.700 Com slash devices. 02:11.730 --> 02:12.060 Okay. 02:12.090 --> 02:15.330 Once you get this account you can put it aside. 02:15.330 --> 02:18.300 We will come back to this just in a few minutes. 02:18.300 --> 02:20.820 And now we need to get access to the Raspberry Pi. 02:20.850 --> 02:24.240 So I'm going to open a terminal here on windows. 02:24.240 --> 02:27.600 And we will connect to the Raspberry Pi with SSH. 02:27.600 --> 02:30.210 So at this point what are the requirements? 02:30.210 --> 02:33.900 The requirements are that the Raspberry Pi is powered on okay. 02:33.930 --> 02:37.290 With the SD card that is connected to the Wi-Fi network. 02:37.290 --> 02:39.240 So pay attention here. 02:39.270 --> 02:43.320 Make sure that it's the same Wi-Fi network that your computer is connected to. 02:43.350 --> 02:51.240 Okay, you should already also have found the IP address, so I'm just going to run my angry IP scanner 02:51.240 --> 02:58.090 here again just to make sure that I have the correct IP address. 02:59.260 --> 02:59.740 Okay. 02:59.740 --> 03:00.910 And it's a bit weird. 03:00.910 --> 03:03.580 I got 29, but I can sort by ping. 03:03.940 --> 03:04.840 You can see. 03:04.840 --> 03:07.630 Well, this time I have my Raspberry Pi here. 03:07.630 --> 03:09.400 So I find the hostname. 03:09.520 --> 03:16.060 If you have too many IP addresses like this and you don't have the hostname, maybe just stop and start 03:16.060 --> 03:19.630 again and maybe you just power off and power on the Raspberry Pi. 03:19.660 --> 03:21.460 Restart your WiFi router. 03:21.490 --> 03:25.120 Okay, but this is the IP address that correspond to my Raspberry Pi. 03:25.150 --> 03:26.110 So let's go. 03:26.350 --> 03:27.160 SSH. 03:27.190 --> 03:31.810 Pi okay 192 168. 03:31.900 --> 03:32.890 Then it was zero. 03:32.890 --> 03:34.360 And then 222 okay. 03:34.390 --> 03:39.790 So the requirements is that your Raspberry Pi and your computer here are connected to the same network, 03:39.790 --> 03:45.280 that you can find the IP address and that you can also get access to it with SSH. 03:45.280 --> 03:50.080 So I'm going to put yes here put the password okay. 03:50.110 --> 03:55.620 And when you are in the Raspberry Pi you will do a sudo apt update. 03:58.590 --> 04:02.850 And then you will do sudo apt upgrade. 04:03.030 --> 04:03.750 Okay. 04:04.710 --> 04:07.230 Here if you have something like this do you want to continue. 04:07.230 --> 04:08.760 You can just press enter. 04:09.150 --> 04:13.080 So you're going to update all packages here I just had one. 04:13.080 --> 04:14.730 So it's going to go quite quick. 04:14.850 --> 04:16.020 But you may have more. 04:16.020 --> 04:21.150 So just wait the time that's necessary for all the packages to get updated. 04:21.330 --> 04:35.490 And then you can run this command sudo apt and install like that and then space rpi dash connect just 04:35.490 --> 04:38.130 like that and press enter. 04:38.130 --> 04:40.710 And actually I had already installed it. 04:40.710 --> 04:45.510 So just make sure that if you have this it means it's you see it's installed. 04:45.510 --> 04:49.800 This is what we need RPI connect so that the Raspberry Pi Connect will work. 04:49.830 --> 04:53.310 After you have this then you can reboot the Raspberry Pi. 04:53.340 --> 04:59.010 Okay, so I'm going to write sudo reboot and press enter. 04:59.010 --> 05:03.930 And you can see now we lose the connection because of course the Raspberry Pi is rebooting. 05:03.930 --> 05:08.610 We're going to wait a few seconds, so maybe 30s and try to connect again. 05:09.300 --> 05:09.660 Okay. 05:09.660 --> 05:10.770 Let's try. 05:10.800 --> 05:14.070 So I use the up arrow to put the same command. 05:14.100 --> 05:19.500 So the SSH command on windows asks the password. 05:20.760 --> 05:22.650 And we are back to the Raspberry Pi. 05:22.680 --> 05:24.630 Now we need to do one more thing. 05:24.630 --> 05:33.330 We are going to use the RPI connect command like that and write sign in. 05:33.630 --> 05:33.840 Okay. 05:33.840 --> 05:35.520 So you write exactly like this. 05:35.520 --> 05:45.540 You press enter, you wait a bit and as you can see you have complete sign in by visiting and it gives 05:45.540 --> 05:51.760 you a URL with here a code so you can copy this. 05:52.330 --> 05:52.870 Okay. 05:53.110 --> 05:54.550 Um, how to copy this? 05:54.580 --> 06:00.310 Well, actually, if you press Ctrl and click, you should be able to go directly. 06:00.310 --> 06:06.490 And then we go here and we're going to sign in with the account that we have created just before. 06:06.490 --> 06:09.190 And we're going to just name our new device. 06:09.190 --> 06:13.120 So this is this is what this is a name just to recognize the new device. 06:13.120 --> 06:19.570 So I'm just going to name it course Raspberry Pi I create the device and sign in okay. 06:19.570 --> 06:22.690 So the device sign in successful. 06:22.690 --> 06:27.010 And then I guess we can just go back to what. 06:27.040 --> 06:32.080 You can just go back to your account and you will see that now okay. 06:32.110 --> 06:33.430 Now you should have this. 06:33.580 --> 06:35.830 You should have the Raspberry Pi. 06:35.860 --> 06:38.830 So with the name course Raspberry Pi, that's the name I gave it. 06:38.860 --> 06:42.550 This one is registered and you will see a button here. 06:42.550 --> 06:44.170 Connect via. 06:44.800 --> 06:46.120 All right connect via. 06:46.330 --> 06:47.660 You can get the remote shell. 06:47.690 --> 06:51.020 So that's just like ssh or you can do screen sharing. 06:51.020 --> 06:52.580 I'm going to click on Screen Sharing. 06:52.580 --> 06:54.410 It opens a new window. 06:56.450 --> 06:57.320 Waiting. 06:57.320 --> 07:03.500 And after a few seconds we are on the Raspberry Pi desktop. 07:03.560 --> 07:04.430 All right. 07:05.390 --> 07:07.070 So that's quite convenient okay. 07:07.100 --> 07:09.560 You can just open from a web browser. 07:09.560 --> 07:16.940 And you can see here we have this icon, uh about Raspberry Pi connect with screen sharing here. 07:16.940 --> 07:20.090 And it's basically the same thing as we had with VNC. 07:20.600 --> 07:27.380 The only differences is that, well, to copy and paste from the Raspberry Pi to your computer, you 07:27.380 --> 07:29.840 might have to click on those buttons. 07:29.870 --> 07:30.410 Okay. 07:30.440 --> 07:31.790 You have extra commands here. 07:31.820 --> 07:34.460 The control alt escape tab okay. 07:34.460 --> 07:38.630 But apart from that this is well, this is the Raspberry Pi OS desktop. 07:38.630 --> 07:43.760 So you can just follow the course and do everything from this interface. 07:44.060 --> 07:49.960 And if you if you want to disconnect you just click on disconnect here and you see that ended. 07:49.960 --> 07:54.520 And note that when you disconnect you don't shut down the Raspberry Pi, you are just disconnected. 07:54.520 --> 07:57.430 The Raspberry Pi is still is still powered on. 07:57.430 --> 07:58.090 It's still working. 07:58.090 --> 07:59.410 So you can reconnect. 08:02.170 --> 08:02.500 Okay. 08:02.530 --> 08:03.220 And you are back. 08:03.220 --> 08:08.920 If you want to shut down the Raspberry Pi, you should go here on this icon, this menu, and then click 08:08.920 --> 08:12.070 on shutdown okay. 08:12.100 --> 08:14.470 And you can shut down the Raspberry Pi. 08:14.470 --> 08:18.940 And of course when you shut down you also lose the connection. 08:19.780 --> 08:21.820 And I'm just going to refresh that page. 08:22.000 --> 08:27.940 And you can see that after the Raspberry Pi has shut down, you don't see the connect button here. 08:27.970 --> 08:28.630 Okay. 08:29.320 --> 08:30.400 You don't see the connect button. 08:30.400 --> 08:36.610 So the connect button is only going to be present when the Raspberry Pi and your computer are connected 08:36.610 --> 08:37.750 to the same network. 08:37.750 --> 08:40.000 And well, that's it for Raspberry Pi Connect. 08:40.000 --> 08:43.930 So as you can see, once you have set it up, it's really easy to use.
