How To Set Up Connect AnyThing

How To Set Up ConnectAnyThing

Hardware Required

Connect AnyThing needs a Wi-Fi-enabled Galileo. That means:

• One Intel Galileo GEN1 or GEN2. * Note: If you have a Galileo GEN1, you'll need to update the firmware.

• One half PCI-E Centrino Wi-Fi card. We've tested ConnectAnyThing with [Intel N-135, N-6205, N-6235] ( http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/wireless-products/centrino-wireless-n-135.html )

• One half-to-full PCI-E bracket adapter

• One (or two) Wi-Fi antennas.

• One Micro SD card. Any size between 4 and 32GB. Fat32 formatted (most come that way.)

Choosing between Galileo GEN1 and GEN2? Galileo GEN2 has the option to control Servo motors, and doesn't need a firmware update to get started.

Software Installation

1. Download the project's zip file from the release page. NOTE: For Galileo GEN1 use v0.2.2 and below. For GEN2 use v0.2.4 and above.

2. Unpack the file.

3. Copy the entire contents into the root directory of the Micro SD card. Keep the file structure intact.

GEN1 ONLY: In the SD card, unzip the file called "image-full-clanton.zip". (The zip file should contain the file "image-full-clanton.ext3")

4. When complete, the Micro SD card's directory tree should look as follows:

• boot (directory)
• bzImage (file)
• core-image-minimal-initramfs-claton.cpio.gz (file)
• image-full-clanton.ext3 (file)
• image-full-clanton.zip (file) <- This file can be removed to free up space.

5. Put the Micro SD card in the Galileo board and power it up using the power supply that came with your Galileo. It takes about 1 minute and 10 seconds for the Galileo to boot-up.

6. On your mobile device or computer, connect to the Wi-Fi network- default named "ConnectAnyThing".

7. Start Chrome (34+) or Safari on your device, and in the address bar, type either: "cat", "cat.com", or "192.168.0.10".

8. If successful, you should see the ConnectAnyThing page come up.

ENJOY...!!!

troubleshooting

• If you're looking at tractors on cat.com, you're not connected to the Galileo's Wi-Fi hotspot.

• If you dont see the Wi-Fi hotspot appear after a minute or two, check to make sure your SD card is FAT32 formatted.

• If you're using a Galileo GEN1 and you don't see the network, make sure your Galileo board has [firmware version 782 or above] ( https://communities.intel.com/docs/DOC-21838 ).

• If you're able to connect to the webpage but you just see a spinning wheel, this is usually caused by a browser that doesn't support Websockets. Try updating your browser or using Chrome.

When handling the board, be careful not to cause a short by touching the foil backing of the Wi-Fi antenna to the underside of the board! Standoffs are recommended, or you can cover any foil with masking tape.
