Connecting to wifi on campus can be difficult. You can connect to your phone or laptop if you turn on a hotspot, you can connect to eduroam by configuring it in the Pi or you can connect to an IOT (Internet Of Things) network called UOdevices by providing your Pi's MAC address.

# You will need the MAC address of the Pi so that your device can be registered and approved to use the UOdevices network, here is how: https://www.raspberrypi-spy.co.uk/2012/06/finding-the-mac-address-of-a-raspberry-pi/

# You will need the MAC address of the Pi so that your device can be registered and approved to use the UOdevices network. You can find it by [https://www.raspberrypi-spy.co.uk/2012/06/finding-the-mac-address-of-a-raspberry-pi/ following this guide].

# Once you have the MAC, please send it to makerlab@uottawa.ca so it can be given to our IT department.

# When the MAC has been added, you will be able to connect to it in the same way as the Eduroam network with the ssid UOdevices and makerlab@uottawa.ca will also be able to give you the password.
