OpenPlotter – RPi4 Headless_b

Introduction

Previously I looked at using the RPi4 remotely with a WiFi hotspot and controlled by an iPhone10 using VNC viewer (Ref.1/2). In this post I field tested the setup down at Toronto Harbourfront. Figure 1 shows the setup.

Field Test

Figure 2 shows the field equipment setup on a bicycle. I was not able to use the Solar Panel because when it arrived I noticed that they had shipped the wrong unit and it had to be returned. I used the 80W portable supply. Operation was fairly easy, but not being a teenager I would prefer using my laptop to an iPhone which requires small/nimble fingers!
