Remote Desktop (Screen Sharing)¶

The UNIHIKER comes with enabled remote desktop service, so you can display the board’s interface in real-time on your PC, making it convenient for teaching demonstrations or capturing screenshots for tutorials.

There are several software options available for connecting to UNIHIKER, here we will introduce three software: Windows Remote Desktop, MobaXterm, and VNC.

Windows Remote Desktop¶

Windows has a built-in Remote Desktop Connection, so you can use it directly without any additional software required:

You can find Remote Desktop Connection in Windows by opening the Start menu and clicking Windows Accessories there, or searching Remote Desktop Connection directly. You can also press win+R and type mstsc in the Run window to open it.
Enter the UNIHIKER’s IP address. In this example, we use the IP address 10.1.2.3 when connected via USB. If you need to enter a username and password, the username is root and the password is dfrobot.

Once connected, you can minimize the window to a floating window for easy viewing:
