Hey, all.

I got a Beaglebone Black 4G and a RevB Replicape in today, and I flashed it with the latest Kamikaze. It’s tethered to my computer right now.

But I still can’t access kamikaze.local. I have no idea what’s wrong. Any ideas?

2

I access mine through Network, and it’s listed under “Other Devices”

3

If you’re trying to get there from windows, your probably missing Apple Bonjour Printer Services.

4

Why is an Apple product needed for a Windows OS?

And Philip, it’s not there.

5

Can you try using ethernet instead of usb? Windows is a known difficult system to connect to USB from… See the getting started wiki page as well http://wiki.thing-printer.com/index.php?title=Replicape:_Getting_Started#I_can.27t_connect_the_BBB_to_my_network.2C_how_do_I_get_updates_from_online.3F

6

Because Windows took a different path for peer name discovery and open source generally supported apple’s approach to mdns/bonjour

7

So unless you set up a DNS server or your router does name resolution, bonjour is the method for associating the name with the address.

8

John I have an ethernet-to-USB cable and a standard USB cord.

I installed Bonjour but I’m getting an error starting it up.

9

Have you had a chance to watch the youtube video linked to from the wiki page? Also, which version of windows are you using? That could also make a difference.

10

I’m stuck on Win10 and the best I can get is the BBB being seen on COM4.

11

Ok, have you tried the Beaglebone steps installing drivers for connectivity? http://beagleboard.org/getting-started

12

Drivers are installed, and my system sees the Beaglebone on COM4. But it won’t ‘connect to beaglebone’ in the getting-started package.

13

On the USB, the BBB gets a static ip: 192.168.7.2 I think. Could you try that in your browser?

14

There is a list of four things to double check in case something has gone wrong: http://wiki.thing-printer.com/index.php?title=Kamikaze#Troubleshooting

Hey, Elias. I tried it, but no dice.

Apparently, I need an RNDIS driver for my OS. This is making me want to install some Linux distro on my laptop, at this point. Any recommendations??

16

@Blake_Nolastname changing OS over this sounds a bit extreme, but if that is what you want, I’m happy with Ubuntu on my laptop:) Mint is also popular!

17

I’d recommend installing ubuntu on a USB key and not dumping windows entirely just for this. At least get your feet wet with Linux first. Once you’ve got Kamikaze setup with wifi/ethernet you’ll be able to ssh in from windows just fine

18

My main tower has a 500GB SSD and 2TB HDD, and a 1TB hard disk in my laptop I use for various things.

But that’s actually a good idea. I just have to get my wifi set up first on this blasted thing.
