You can use Initial motor configuration and settings to configure WiFi so the board can be reached over your observatory network. To do so, follow these steps:

  1. Connect via USB first, as WiFi configuration requires an existing connection.
  2. In the WiFi section, enable Station mode by checking the STA checkbox.
  3. Click Scan to discover nearby networks, or type your SSID directly.
  4. Enter the WiFi password.
  5. Choose DHCP (default), or enter a static IP, subnet mask, and gateway if you prefer a fixed address.
  6. Click Apply WiFi. The board will apply the settings and disconnect—this is normal. If connected via USB, Initial motor configuration and settings will attempt to reconnect automatically.
If connected via WiFi when applying

Applying new WiFi settings over a WiFi connection will disconnect you. You will need to reconnect manually once the board has joined the network using the new settings.

After reconnecting, the current IP address is shown in the WiFi section; note it down, as you will need it to connect without USB in future sessions.
