I’m using the Raspberry Shake in offline mode (no GPS) with stand-alone ON mode, for the purposes of an educational workshop. I can use the Shake with all its capabilities with the offline mode mode off, i.e. I can access the web front-end and see data streams (4 channels) on SWARM. However, when I take the Shake off the internet connection and connect directly to my laptop via the Ethernet cable, I don’t see any data streams on SWARM, even though I can still access the web front-end. Can you help me, please?
Thanks for the suggestion! I’m a Windows user and have investigated this, and it seems that the shake has the IP address from the front end
> :
169.254.63.145
From what I understand, this is within the Discovery IP range. When I tried to manually specify an address for the ethernet port using Windows’ netsh (to 169.254.8.11, per the example in the docs), I couldn’t even connect to the front-end. However, even with this IP address for the ethernet port, I still can’t see SWARM live data streams. Do you have any suggestion for where I am perhaps going wrong?
Yes, the Shake is predisposed to have its direct IP connection in the discovery range. You will have to set your local PC/laptop IP address in the same range so that the two devices will be able to communicate with each other.
If you want, could you please post a screenshot of your local PC network adapter configuration, so that I may be able to see what is possibly causing the problem?
I was able to get the shake to broadcast data to SWARM by manually configuring the SWARM source IP address, so problem solved! Thanks a lot for the help!
In case this is useful to others. I had the same issues using Windows.
I connected the shake through ethernet to my laptop. Used Bonjour Browser for Windows to find the IP address of the shake: 169.XXX.XX.XX ignoring the :9
then you can enter the IP in the Swarm config file at the line:
server=myShake;wws:169.XXX.XX.XX:16032:15000:1. Launched Swarm and the Shake was in Networks and streaming live data.
