Ethernet Solution to IP Conflict
Here’s a possible use for the THETA to Ethernet connection solution. In this solution, the office has no Wi-Fi.
The PC kiosk cannot send API commands to the THETA when the THETA is in access point (AP) mode because the THETA also configures itself as 192.168.1.1. This IP address is already taken by the office router.
Any Ethernet adapter could work. We’ve tested the two adapters shown below. They work without any additional software. Just plug the adapter in and the THETA will get assigned an IP address by your office DHCP server.
The THETA will not charge while it is connected with USB OTG. You will need to disconnect the THETA from Ethernet and plug it into a USB charger to charge the battery.
Your application can disovery the IP address of the THETA through DNS-SD. Here is one example.
