VNC Viewer and WiFi Problems[SOLVED]

Hey Jim,
The DI software update does download and update everything on the image to the latest version of the software that we have.

Hey guys,

So different topic but still related to the thread, I’m using WinSCP to log into my pi2 and I’m currently using the image titled “2015.11.09_Dexter_Industries_wheezy”.

I am encountering a problem however, when I try to connect to my pi2 (be it putty or WinSCP) I enter the username as dex.local and the password as robots1234 but I receive an access denied prompt from the console. I have also tried the combination of username: pi and password: raspberry but I still get the same error.

Am I using the correct login information?

Thanks!

Hey Grubs,

Username is Pi and the password is robots1234.

The hostname is now dex, so the bonjour/network access is dex.local.

Best, John

Awesome it worked! Thanks so much!

hey
i followed all the steps and got VNC and puTTY successfully moving my GoPiGo. i downloaded VNC Viewer onto my laptop and i put dex.local:1 into the server and it comes up with connection refused by host computer. I’ve tried doing it again without and firewall or anitvirus and it still come up with the same thing.

the first part about the vnc and putty working was on my desktop

Hey funnies,
Did you try entering dex.local in your browser and check if it serves a webpage wit the VNC and SSH options. Also, which image are you using right now.

im using the 2016.05.16 jessie zip and imnot to sure what the browser is.

So it’s working on your desktop, but not on your laptop, am I understanding right?

If that’s the case, is it possible for you to connect to the Pi on your desktop, and get the IP address?
Hover over the wifi symbol at top right, and you’ll get a popup window with the IP address. Disregard the /24 that also appears.
You can use that IP on your laptop VNC Viewer, like this:
192.168.x.x:1 (replace the x with whatever values your Pi has)

it still says connection refused by host computer

Hello funnyies, still not clear: did you run this on a browser? Can you provide a screenshot of the problem you’re seeing?

here are some screen shots of what im doing

Sorry, I’m not seeing any screenshots.

im sorry

Can you try entering the IP in VNC as 192.168.x.x:1. From the screenshot, it looks like you are entering 192.168.0.50, whereas you should enter: 192.168.0.50:1

thank so much its working now

Hello,

Recently I eagerly received our GoPiGo robot. It took the students about three days to assemble the kit and begin working with it.

We successfully connected with Ethernet, though it was more difficult than we anticipated. It seemed to be touchy.

After connecting with Ethernet, it was not difficult to connect wirelessly. We can successfully ping the device but when we return to the web page to control the device (dex.local) and select VNC, we arrive at a page on which we cannot do anything. There is no option to log in and the button is deactivated.

All we see is “Sent ProtocolVersion 003.008” along with a “Send CtrlAltDel” button.
We have spent an additional 2 class periods trying to establish this connection but have not succeed. We have verified that the wireless is working by pinging the device. It responds with a local address (wireless address).

Thank you for any help you are able to provide.

I’m sorry you’re having so much trouble!
Just to be certain, are you reaching this page https://www.dexterindustries.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Cinch-Chromebook-5-select_no-vnc-in-the-browser.jpg and you’re getting the problem when you click on VNC, or are you not even reaching that?

Also there’s some sort of a backdoor to noVNC. Try http://dex:8001/vnc.html?host=dex&port=8001
Try it and please let us know if that helps.

in my pc ,i try 192.168.1.101:1,it’s work well
