Enter the password you set up for your VNC standard user and check the box to remember this password. To connect from the Mac, open Finder, then select Go -> Connect to server. Find the inet address from wlan0 and note this down. Set the password then click OK, then click OK.įinally you need the IP address of the Raspberry Pi. In the Users & Permissions tab, select the Standard user (user), and click the Password.
In the Security tab, set the Encryption to Prefer off and the Authentication to VNC Password. (Not all VNC programs work with the Mountain Lion version of screen sharing, alas some require updates.) To prepare your Mac for invasion, open the Sharing. Once the Pi reboots, you need to configure VNC. Click OK, then restart the Pi when prompted. From the configuration tool, select the Interfaces tab, then check the Enabled option next to VNC. To do this, click the Raspberry Menu and select Raspberry Pi Configuration. This means I can use the same monitor/keyboard/mouse that I use for my Mac, but it also means I can un-cable myself and use my Pi from anywhere in the house, and even grab screenshots - useful for some upcoming blog posts I'm planning.Īs it turns out, it's really simple to get this set up. I decided to set up a remote screen share so I can share the screen. I've been playing with a Raspberry Pi for a while, and I'm getting fed up with changing the input to my monitor and using a second keyboard/mouse (yeah, yeah, 1st World Problem I know).
