Discover the dashboard

1. Find Reachy 2’s IP Address

After you connect the robot to the network, it should have an IP address. The LCD screen connected to Reachy’s back should display its IP address.

If the LCD screen is not working or is unplugged, check the “Find My IP” section to learn other ways to get the IP address.

Note: The LCD screen will not work if you plug it in after turning on the computer.

2. Connect from the Navigator

From your computer, on the same network, open a browser and go to:
http://<IP.address>:8000/

For example, if the screen indicates 192.168.1.42, connect to http://192.168.1.42:8000/

You should arrive at a services page:
