Re: How to Merge Raspberry Pi?

You could use the Pi 2 as a router to shape the traffic, and use the Pi 3 to run other services. What you would gain is that while you do BitTorrent at full speed, other service would not impact by poor delay performance. So you could seeding without limitation while playing DOTA. (Well, there is im...

Greetings.

To modify things under /etc, mostly, you would need the root privilege.

Try adding "sudo" before your command calling the text editor:
sudo vim /etc/motion/motion.conf

Re: How to Merge Raspberry Pi?

Greetings.

Could you tell us what are you trying to run on your Pi?

Because computers are not foods, you can't just put them in a pot and mix them up. And I think, mostly, mixing foods randomly are not tasty.

Re: IP Address

Greetings~ I think dnsmasq has a solution for this, I'm using it on a Pi as the DHCP server. It uses a hash function to decide what dynamic IP is about to give out, instead of sequentially allocate IP. And I have a big IP space in the configuration, to minimize hash collision. I really like dnsmasq,...

element 14 seems able to customize the Pi: https://www.element14.com/community/doc ... on-service

Re: RPI3: Module nl80211 not found, required for HostAPD?

btw: US doesn't need 80211d. In fact, it is banned by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission.

There are few countries get their radio rules defined in the very beginning of Wifi. These countries don't need 80211d, including US, CN, JP, etc. Those come later need append their rules, so 80211d.

Uncomment net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 . 4 - Because wlan0 is in a ...

I would suggest Mr Google for DNS and DHCP part. And you would need to either bridge the AP to a wired network, or setting up it as a router, so that you could actually access the Internet. Mr Google knows almost everything. The special hostapd: 1 - Get a new hostapd source from https://w1.fi/hostap...
