Alternatively,
connect a computer to the specific IP address allocated locally by
your router
to your OGN-R unit. To locate the specific ip address allocated by your
router to the raspberry pi (host name ognpaw) connect to the router via a wired
Ethernet or WiFi connection. Connect to the router by typing in 192.168.0.1 into
your browser. Note this may differ depending on your broadband provider.
3.
Once connected to your router you need to locate the IP address that has been
allocated to the Raspberry Pi (host name ognpaw) of your OGN-R. To get the actual
IP address allocated to the Raspberry Pi you may have to use an advanced menu that
is password protected. See your local router instructions. For example, a UK Sky
network router generic log in is ‘
admin’
and the password is ‘
sky’.
Others will differ.
Then choose LAN IP Set Up. For example, if the IP address allocated for your unit
with the default hostname
‘
ognpaw
’
is 192.168.0.200 then you will connect via
192.168.0.20
.
The allocated address (in this case 192.168.0.20) will vary from router
to router.
Also, please note if the router is powered down it
may
allocate a different IP address.
This is called dynamic IP allocation. This can be overcome by giving the OGN-R a fixed
IP address.

Additionally, the
OGN-R
software has been developed so that you can run a shell
from within a web browser. Google Chrome or Firefox is recommended.
When connected on the same network as the Pi, navigate to
Note this is NOT https://.
You will probably get a prompt to say that this sites is
insecure - ignore this and continue to the address. Not all routers allow you to do
this as they do not resolve the allocated IP address to the default host name of
ognpaw.local. In this case you will have to revert to using the allocated ip address as
shown in the previous paragraph 3.
With each connection type, when connected correctly, you will see the following
prompts. Your response is the characters in
red
login:
pi
(Ensure this is pi NOT PI or Pi)
password:
12345678
(This is the default Password. It is
strongly
recommended to change it
during the configuration).
(Note the password will not appear in the command
line as you are typing it.)
pi@ognpaw: $
cd rtlsdr-ogn
(changes the directory to where the required files are located)
pi@ognpaw: /rtlsdr-ogn
./PilotAware-OGN.config.sh
(this runs the configuration program)
Note please make sure that the syntax is correct if it is not you will be prompted that there
is an error.
You may get the message
sudo: unable to resolve host ognpa
w
–
ignore
this.
Wait a while and if the RTLSDR
’s are
connected you will
see
Found 2 SDR’s
and you will
be told in which of the four USB slots they are located.
The first SDR is required for FLARM 868MHz detection. By convention this is put in the top
left hand USB slot with the RJ45 Ethernet socket to the left. The second SDR is for the
