I am kinda new to all of this. But I have a question, does Pi-Tail work on iPhones? I have a Raspberry Pi zero 2 w and I wanna put a Pi-Tail on it, so I can connect to it throught my iPhone XR. So can I connect through with an iPhone?
Yes, you can connect to a Raspberry Pi with a Pi-Tail using an iPhone. Pi-Tail essentially creates a Wi-Fi access point on the Raspberry Pi, allowing your iPhone XR to connect to it.
Here’s how to make it work:
- Set Up the Raspberry Pi and Pi-Tail:
- Once you have installed the Pi-Tail software on your Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, it will create a Wi-Fi hotspot.
- Connect Your iPhone to the Raspberry Pi:
- On your iPhone, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and look for the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) broadcast by your Raspberry Pi.
- Select the network and enter the password if one is set up.
- Access the Pi’s Interface:
- After connecting, you can use an SSH client like Termius or iSH Shell on your iPhone to SSH into the Raspberry Pi if you know its local IP address or hostname.
- Internet Access:
- If you need your Raspberry Pi to provide internet to connected devices, you might have to configure IP forwarding and NAT on the Raspberry Pi.
I hope this answers your question.
