Hi Farm-Ng team, I am currently working with the UCSB Farm Challenge Team. We are trying to connect a raspberry pi over POE Switch onboard the Amiga, however the pi is not visible to the brain and the brain is not visible to the pi. The camera is not visible to the raspberry pi either.

Is there a specific port we should be using on the POE swtich? What IP should we be using to reach the brain on the Amiga from the pi? How the Ethernet is configured on the brain? Perhaps, is there an approach to this sort of communication over Ethernet to the brain that is recommended?

Thanks!

Hello,

A more detailed set of instructions will follow. You may use any of the available switch ports. The bottom four are capable of providing POE power to devices such as the Pi Poe Hat.

We use the 10.95.76.0/24 network space for Ethernet, cameras, etc.

For you example, you may set a static ip of 10.95.76.102 netmask 255.255.255.0 and gateway of 10.95.76.1.

To avoid conflicts, please use any ip above .100.

Again I will follow up with a more detailed post.

-Chris

Hello,

I’ve provided additional details here: [Connecting to the Amiga - Ethernet](https://discourse.farm-ng.com/t/connecting-to-the-amiga-ethernet/138) with a picture of the M12 to RJ45 ethernet cable.

Best regards,
