Home » DEVELOPERS » Change IP address – MRPiZ

In this tutorial you will learn how to modify the IP address of the MRPiZ robot.

The default IP address is 192.168.42.1

  • Open the interfaces file with the nano editor :

$ sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

  • Change the line of the IP address :

iface wlan0 inet static
 address 192.168.42.1
 netmask 255.255.255.0

 

  • If you want the 192.168.42.2 address for example, the configuration of the file becomes:
iface wlan0 inet static
 address 192.168.42.2
 netmask 255.255.255.0

After editing this file you can exit the nano editor.

  • Then open the rc.local file :

$ sudo nano /etc/rc.local

  • Edit the following line with your IP address :

ifconfig wlan0 192.168.42.1

With the previous example, it becomes :

ifconfig wlan0 192.168.42.2
  • Save the change and restart the Raspberry Pi Zero board :
$ sudo reboot

That’s it, the IP address is modify, do not forget to connect with this new address.
