IP address for StereoPi on Linux (Ubuntu 20.04)
Posted: Sun Jun 21, 2020 7:57 am
To date the instructions for StereoPi appear to focus on MacOS and WIndows. It would be great if some basic instructions for Linux users could be added.
The first point is connecting to the StereoPi over the network. For MacOS and Windows it says to connect to:
http://stereopi.local
However as mentioned it does not work on Linux.
Question: Why does this not work on Linux? Can you make it work? I have a project with my kids for a wildlife camera (https://mynaturewatch.net/daylight-camera-instructions) where they do have a system where stuff can successfully stream on a link like this. Can this be made to work for StereoPi?
I then followed the alternative steps to scan the network to find the IP address of the device. On Ubuntu I used:
From the output I found this to be the StereoPi:
192.168.1.7 1c:bf:ce:bf:4f:43 Shenzhen Century Xinyang Technology Co., Ltd
This works in principle but I've noticed the IP address may change (it changed on me when I had to power down and power up the SteroePi).
Question: Can a static IP address be set so it does not change? Again the mynaturewatch project also has a static IP it seems.
Thanks.

sudo arp-scan -l | sort
