Remote work has many advantages and disadvantage.

Today I'm going to talk about how to configure local access between Raspberry Pi + Intel Movidius NCS and your Laptop. I'll be using MacBook pro 2017.

Problems:

Organize local access to Raspberry + Movidius NCS = Quickly / Anywhere from your Laptop

- Raspberry has to give internet access

- ssh access to Raspberry pi from USB

Before you will go to your lovely cafeteria … you have to give ssh access to your Raspberry Pi

Here are 3 methods to enable SSH

Using the Desktop

  • Launch Raspberry Pi Configuration from the Preferences menu
  • Navigate to the Interfaces tab
  • Select Enabled next to SSH
  • Click OK
  • Using a terminal

Enter sudo raspi-config in a terminal window

  • Select Interfacing Options
  • Navigate to and select SSH
  • Choose Yes
  • Select Ok
  • Choose Finish

Alternatively, use systemctl to start the service if the above 2 options do not work, however I would really recommend the above 2 options.

sudo systemctl enable sshsudo systemctl start ssh

Ok.. let's go to your lovely cafeteria and take next things… (Raspberry pi, LAN to LAN cable (but shorty if you can), USB/RJ45 adapter or type-C/RJ45, Intel Movidius NCS, charger for raspberry, pi cam or usb camera and of course your work of instrument — Laptop)

my quickly and improvisation connection to Raspberry + Movidius
  1. Connect your USB/RJ45 adapter to Laptop
  2. Switch on your Raspberry
  3. Connect LAN, Movidius, Camera (pi cam or usb)
  4. Go to network settings (inside your laptop)
  5. you have to see a new device (don't touch this)

6. Go to All Settings ->> Sharing

7. Share internet to your raspberry port — it'll be your USB LAN adapter (switch on this settings)

Good…

now… You can run terminal and check ssh access to your Raspberry Pi.

ssh pi@raspberry.local

Approve certification, type password to your Raspberry and enjoy it.
