Click End Session in the drop-down menu and Yes to disconnect. You can access Properties from the menu at the top of the VNC Viewer preview window, but we’re going to close down the preview window to access it from VNC Connect. You will now be able to open apps and use your Raspberry Pi as if you were working directly on the small computer.

VNC CONNECT TO PI PC

Your Raspberry Pi display may not fit your PC display, so click the Scale button in the menu (so it’s set to Scale Automatically).

VNC CONNECT TO PI FULL

To the left of the Options is Enter Full Screen click it and the preview window will take over the screen. Hover the mouse at the top of the VNC Viewer window and a menu will drop down from the top of the screen. You can now use this window to control your Raspberry Pi over the network (just as if you were sitting in front of it). Move the mouse around the window and you’ll see the mouse moving around on your Raspberry Pi. Step 4: Remote controlĪ window appears on your Windows PC displaying the Raspbian desktop interface from your Raspberry Pi.

VNC CONNECT TO PI PASSWORD

Click on Remember Password and then OK to connect to Raspbian. You need to enter the username (typically ‘pi’) and password for your Raspberry Pi. The first time you do this, a window will appear with a warning: ‘VNC has no record of connecting to this VNC Server so its identity cannot be checked’.

VNC CONNECT TO PI INSTALL

Install and open the software.Įnter the IP address of your Raspberry Pi (the four numbers displayed in VNC Server) into the search bar of VNC Viewer (the part saying ‘Enter a VNC Server address or search’). Head to RealMac ( /hTpNBm) and click Download VNC Viewer. VNC Viewer is available for macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS platforms, along with a web interface. We’re going to use a Windows PC, but you can connect from a Mac, Linux PC, or even another Raspberry Pi on the same network.īecause we’re using VNC Server on Raspberry Pi, it makes sense to use VNC Viewer on the Windows PC. You’re now ready to connect to your Raspberry Pi from another computer. Note down the four numbers they enable you to locate your Raspberry Pi over the network. Your IP (internet protocol) address will appear in the VNC Server Window (below Connectivity). Click OK. A VNC button appears in the top right of the screen, at the end of the menu bar. Now click the Interfaces tab, and set the radio button next to VNC to Enabled. Click the Change Password button and enter a new one. If you haven’t changed Raspbian’s password from the default ‘raspberry’, now is a good time to do so. In Raspbian, click the applications menu icon (raspberry) at the top-left of the screen and select Preferences > Raspberry Pi Configuration.

What you'll needįirst, make sure both your Raspberry Pi and the other computer you’re going to use are connected to the same network. In this walkthrough, we’ll be using VNC Viewer and VNC Server to connect on the fly to a Raspberry Pi from a Windows PC and an Android smartphone. Either on your home network, or via the internet. Perhaps you’re using another computer, your Raspberry Pi is out of reach, behind your TV or a nest of cables or you’re on the road and have left your Raspberry Pi at home.įortunately, with VNC (Virtual Network Computing) – free for non-commercial use and built into the Raspbian operating system – you can access Raspberry Pi remotely from any other computer, tablet, or smartphone. There will be times when you can’t - or don’t want to - switch to your Raspberry Pi.
