1.2. Connect to Red Pitaya

This is the most common and recommended way of connecting and using your Red Pitaya boards. Your LAN network must have DHCP settings enabled which is true with most local networks. With this, a simple plug and play approach is enabled. Having a Red Pitaya board connected to the local network will enable quick access to all Red Pitaya applications using only your web browser.

Follow these three simple steps to start using your Red Pitaya:

125-10, 125-14, 122-16, 125-14 4-Input250-12

1. Connect your Red Pitaya board to the router

   

2. Connect the power supply to the Red Pitaya board

3. Open your web browser and type rp-xxxxxx.local/ into the address bar

   
   

Note

xxxxxx are the last six characters of the MAC address of your Red Pitaya board. The MAC address is written on the Ethernet connector.

After the third step, you will get a Red Pitaya main page, as shown below.
