Ok doing a bit of Raspberry Pi experimentation today. Thought I'd get VNC Server installed on the Pi so I can remote it from the PC saves switching screens all the time.(Checkout the Video at the end)
1st glitch! The elderly HP hub I'm using only gives me a couple of MB download speeds so off to PC world to get a Netgear 10/100 switch. Great, switch installed and giving me my full broadband speed on both Pi and PC (What would we do without Speedtest.net !)
Next install Tight VNC server on Pi, in a terminal session typed:
sudo apt-get install tightvncserver
Install done.
Now start the VNC server on Pi:
vncserver :1 -geometry 1200x720 -depth 16 -pixelformat rgb565
Find the Pi's IP address using:
ifconfig
Next job get TightVNC viewer on the PC and Android phone. Simple download from:
And then find AndroidVNC on android Play store. Job Done !
And here are the results. Remote of Raspberry Pi simultaneously on PC and Android phone....
