Connect to RTKBase from iPhone without internet

[addleman89]

Hello, I’m trying to connect to my RPi4 with my iPhone to configure RTKBase settings. I’ve built a second base station that’s portable and want to be able to log in to it to change the base coordinates. I’m not having any luck setting up the pi as an access point to do this. Could you point me in the right direction? Thanks

To connect your iPhone to your Raspberry Pi 4 and configure RTKBase via Wi-Fi, you can set up the Pi as a Wi-Fi Access Point. Here’s a quick guide:

✅ Set Up Raspberry Pi as an Access Point

1. Install required packages:

sudo apt install hostapd dnsmasq

2. Enable hostapd:

sudo systemctl unmask hostapd
sudo systemctl enable hostapd

3. Configure static IP:

Edit /etc/dhcpcd.conf and add:

interface wlan0
    static ip_address=10.10.30.3/24
    nohook wpa_supplicant

4. Configure dnsmasq:

Create /etc/dnsmasq.conf:

interface=wlan0
dhcp-range=10.10.30.10,10.10.30.50,255.255.255.0,24h

5. Create hostapd.conf:

interface=wlan0
driver=nl80211
ssid=RTKBase
hw_mode=g
channel=6
wmm_enabled=0
auth_algs=1
wpa=2
wpa_passphrase=yourpassword
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
rsn_pairwise=CCMP

Set path in /etc/default/hostapd:

DAEMON_CONF="/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf"

6. Restart services:

sudo systemctl restart dhcpcd
sudo systemctl start dnsmasq
sudo systemctl start hostapd

---

You should now see the "RTKBase" Wi-Fi network on your iPhone. Connect to it and open the Pi’s web interface at http://10.10.30.3.

you can ask a AI bot for more :-)

hi, I would like to do the same thing using my orange pi zero 3 on which I flashed Armbian_RTKBase and using my android smartphone, is it possible?
