StereoPi to Oculus Go direct WiFi connection
Posted: Thu Jan 09, 2020 5:56 pm
Hello! I am a new and excited owner of a StereoPi, and an Oculus Go which I bought second-hand for the purpose. So far experimenting has gone really well and I'm really happy with the concept. What a great idea and what a fantastic implementation. Well done StereoPi team.
I was wondering if anyone here has tried a direct WiFi connection between a StereoPi and an Oculus Go? I want to use the pair in areas where there is no accessible wireless LAN. I imagine there are two obvious approaches:
1. Create a mobile hotspot from the Oculus Go: The Oculus Go runs on an Android operating system so if my phone can do it then presumably a (rooted?) Oculus Go must be able to do it somehow. Easy for those that know how, but unfortunately that's not me.
2. Create an access point from the StereoPi: I followed the instructions on the RaspberryPi.org website on how to create a WiFi access point (https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... s-point.md). I couldn't get it to work. The access point is visible from other devices but I can't login to it. I don't know how to go about troubleshooting it as honestly I was following the instructions without really understanding what I was doing.
Is there anyone here that would be willing to share a success story on how they got a direct WiFi connection between the two devices? Or help me troubleshoot the creation of an access point on the StereoPi? That LAN WiFi router is a ball-and-chain!
