Scanning for IP addresses with IP Scanner If you do not know the MAC address of the Raspberry Pi, don't want to use the command line interface, CLI, or just prefer using a graphical interface, it is possible to download an app to do the job for you.Įither google for an IP address scanning app, or visit the Mac App Store, to download and install a network scanning app. You'll need this, later.ĭetermine the IP Address of the Pi With a Mac App It's a case of matching the known MAC address to the IP address. This creates a list of IP addresses that are currently being used on the local area network. If you have already enabled SSH, on the Pi, it is possible to use Terminal on the Mac to log into the Raspberry Pi command line by entering the following command in Terminal: SSH From a Mac Using SSH (Secure SHell) to access a Raspberry Pi from a Mac Switch on the power to boot the Raspberry Pi and boot into Raspbian. Once you have created an SD Card with Raspbian, or NOOBS, insert the SD Card into the Raspberry Pi. Connect the Raspberry Pi to a keyboard, mouse, monitor and power. Instructions on how to do this are in the How to Install NOOBS on a Raspberry Pi With a Mac tutorial. If you have not already done so, install Raspbian on an SD Card. VNC allows the keyboard and mouse of Computer A to control Computer B which relays back the graphical user environment, GUI, to Computer A over a local-area or wide-area network. Or you could to the same from a Windows PC or a Linux box. Virtual Network Computing is independent of platform, thus it is possible to use a Mac to remotely control a Raspberry Pi.
VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing and is a method of graphical desktop sharing to remotely control another computer. In this tutorial I'll show you how to take screenshots on a Raspberry Pi. With a picture you can paint a thousand words and, as a tool for teaching anything relating to computers, a screenshot is an effective way of getting across ideas or information.
