Setting Up Your Bracket Bot on Raspberry Pi

Prerequisites

• You have flashed the SD card using the Raspberry Pi Imager
• The Raspberry Pi is configured to connect to your phone's hotspot
• Your laptop is ready to connect via SSH

Steps

1. Connect Your Laptop to Your Phone Hotspot

Ensure your laptop is connected to the same phone hotspot that your Raspberry Pi will connect to.

2. Power on the Raspberry Pi

Once powered on, the Raspberry Pi should automatically connect to the phone hotspot (this may take a few minutes).

3. Follow Video Until Setup OS is finished

4. Switch Your Laptop to the Bracket Bot Network

After the setup script completes, disconnect from your phone's hotspot and connect to the newly created Bracket Bot Wi-Fi network.

5. SSH into Your Raspberry Pi Again

Reconnect using the same SSH command:

ssh <color>-bracketbot.local

6. Connect to Eduroam

Once reconnected, follow these steps to add and activate the Eduroam connection:

1. Add Eduroam connection:

sudo nmcli connection add type wifi ifname wlan0 con-name eduroam ssid eduroam \
    wifi-sec.key-mgmt wpa-eap \
    802-1x.eap peap \
    802-1x.phase2-auth mschapv2 \
    802-1x.identity "{username}@uwaterloo.ca" \
    802-1x.anonymous-identity "[email protected]" \
    802-1x.password "{password}" \
    802-1x.ca-cert "/etc/ssl/certs/GlobalSign_Root_CA_-_R3.pem"

2. Bring up the connection:

sudo nmcli connection up eduroam

After running these commands, your Raspberry Pi should be successfully connected to Eduroam and will bridge the internet connection through the RPI.
