SLP2 (StereoPi Livestream Playground v2)

Quick start

Connection setup

Ethernet

By default, you can use Ethernet connectivity out-of-the-box without any additional configuring. Plug in an Ethernet cable, and you are connected.

WiFi access point

SLP2 has pre-configured access point mode by default. That is after the first boot, you should see an access point named "Cosmostreamer." Use the "1234512345" password to access it. You can change the access point name and password in the configuration file "cosmostreamer.conf" in the /boot partition of the micro SD card (or eMMC). Here is how this section looks like:

# Wi-Fi access point interface
# disabled if empty, int - Internal Wi-Fi, ext - External USB Wi-Fi 
ap_iface=int

# Wi-Fi access point SSID
ap_ssid="cosmostreamer"

# Wi-Fi access point password
ap_psk="1234512345"`

Examples:

To disable access point use:

ap_iface=

To enable access point using internal WiFi installed on CM4 use:

ap_iface=int

To enable access point using external WiFi (USB dongle) use:

ap_iface=ext

Note: please check that your USB WiFi dongle supports AP mode and that RaspiOS support the dongle's chipset!

WiFI connection to router

If you want StereoPi to connect to your WiFi router, you should disable the AP mode (see the previous section) first.

To do this, open the "cosmostreamer.conf" file in the /boot partition, and find this section:

# Wi-Fi access point interface
# disabled if empty, int - Internal Wi-Fi, ext - External USB Wi-Fi 
ap_iface=int

Please change "ap_iface=int" to "ap_iface=". Now internal access point is disabled.

Now let's configure the access to your router.

Find this section in the configuration file:

# Wi-Fi network interface
# disabled if empty, int - Internal Wi-Fi, ext - External USB Wi-Fi 
wifi_iface=

# Wi-Fi network SSID
wifi_ssid=""

# Wi-Fi network password
wifi_psk=""

Choose CM4's WiFi by modifying the first row to "wifi_iface=int" and add your access point credentials. For example, to connect StereoPi v2 to the Mars_colony_17 access point with the password total_recall! use these settings:

# Wi-Fi network interface
# disabled if empty, int - Internal Wi-Fi, ext - External USB Wi-Fi 
wifi_iface=int

# Wi-Fi network SSID
wifi_ssid="Mars_colony_17"

# Wi-Fi network password
wifi_psk="total_recall!"
