# Setup

## Controller

{% hint style="danger" %}
In case of any manipulation with the controller, first turn off all power sources as there is a risk of electrocution or damage. Improper handling can result in significant property damage, bodily injury or death. Please refer to [Unipi Patron manual](https://kb.unipi.technology/_media/en:files:products:unipi-patron-manual-en.pdf) to read all safety instructions. 
{% endhint %}

### Connection using router

Connect the controller and luxonis camera to a router with running DHCP server (most routers have DHCP server on by default) and then connect the controller to a power supply as shown in the diagram below.

### Direct connection

Connect the luxonis camera directly to the controller via USB and then connect the controller to your PC via ethernet as shown in the diagram below.

### Accessing the controller

The easiest way to check if everything is running is to head over to `http://robopipe-<id>.local`, where *id* is the a number assigned to each controller on startup, based on the order in which you start the controllers, e.g. the first controller you connect will have id `1`, the next will have id `2` and so on. You should see output:&#x20;

```
Hello from Robopipe API!
```

The controller is also accesible via [SSH](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Shell). The default hostname is set to `robopipe-<id>.local`. The default user is `admin` with password `robopipe.io`. Enter this command into your terminal to connect to the controller, enter `robopipe.io` when prompted for password:

```bash
ssh admin@robopipe-1.local
```

When connecting for the first time, you will be asked to verify the authenticity of the controller's key. Enter `yes` and press enter.

## Accepting the controller's certificate

In order to be able to use the [API Reference](https://robopipe.gitbook.io/doc/api/rest-api-reference) in full, you first need to accept the controller's self signed certificate. For each controller you have started, navigate to <https://robopipe-controller-\\><id>.local in your browser. You will be asked to accept security risks.
