  • Flash a fresh Farmbot OS onto the SD Card
  • Insert SD Card into Farmbot Device
  •  Power on Farmbot Device
  •  On your mobile/laptop device go to Wi-Fi and select Farmbot
  • Go to your browser and enter 192.168.24.1
  • Select Wi-Fi option
  • Click on manual input and enter “OP-Mobile”
  • Use the key “bpdyHDPnBjWR”
  • Make sure 'security type' is WPA not WPA2-PSK
  • Enter your Farmbot account
  • Farmbot will now deactivate its own Wi-Fi and connect to OP-Mobile
  •  Connect to “eduroam” on your mobile/laptop device
  • Open a browser and go to “my.farm.bot”
  • Wait for it to sync
  • Go to device tab and select the Arduino/RAMPS firmware
  • Wait for it to install may take a minute or two
  • You’re a go at (greatest of all time)

Detailed Guide

 


Farmbot is to be connected to the OP-Mobile network using the psk of "bpdyHDPnBjWR"

The key used above is specific to the Farmbot MAC address (if you purchase a new pi for Farmbot you will have to request a new key for that pi's MAC address), this key will place the device on vlan 35 of OP-Mobile which gives the device unrestricted port access.

The students will then connect their devices to the "eduroam" network using their polytech login - student i.e. pangdw1@op.ac.nz instead of pangdw1@student.op.ac.nz

The password is also the same as their polytech password.

From a fresh install you will need to:

Part One:

    - Connect to the Farmbot Wi-Fi

    - Open a browser and enter 192.168.24.1 to connect to Farmbot

    - Choose Wi-Fi

    - Because for some reason when you see the available networks there will be no key required for the OP-Mobile     network you will instead have to. Click on manual input and type in "OP-    Mobile"

    - You will then be asked to put in a key (use the key listed above in quotes"

    - You will then be asked to supply a Farmbot account, whichever account you use in this step will need to be shared with the Farmbot group as they will need to use that account in order to connect

    - Farmbot will then proceed to connect to the OP-Mobile network

Part Two:

    - The students will then need to connect to the eduroam network on their device

    - Once connected you can then enter "my.farm.bot" *you could change the name when you first set the Farmbot up     but how many Farmbot will there be at polytech* into your devices web browser to connect to Farmbot

    - Once on the Farmbot browser you will need to go to the device tab and change it to the Arduino/RAMPS firmware

One might think because the Farmbot is on OP-Mobile and the device is in eduroam network that they won’t be able to connect but they can.
