Cool! What Jeff didn't tell dummies like me is that the Hostname/IP field is 192.168.10.1, the same as the web UI. And the topmost "Name" doesn't really matter - apparently just a description for a profile. Might have to allow the app in your Android firewall if you one.

So now I can gracefully shut down the Stratux without fear of corrupting the SD card.

Yep, I forgot to add that stuff because once you enter it the first time, its remembered by the app and you just click and go. Incidently, thats the same info you need to SSH into the Pi because this app is actually SSH'ing into the Pi for you, executing some Linux commands, and displaying the results in a nice graphical user interface.

I figured it was SSH'ing in. But like the old days of Archie and Gopher cammand lines for the 'net, I figured I would wait until someone came up with a nice user interface.

I found an app for the iPhone called SimplePi that will allow me to do a shutdown of the Raspberry Pi.

Although it was $2 it seemed to be the easiest to use and setup while the free apps had me scratching my head. It could have been because after trying to get the other apps to work, that I had success with SimplePi. I’ll have to try the other apps so that I can look at the config files.

I asked the question earlier about why one couldn’t use the iFly utility Opera to connect to the Raspberry Pi. I wonder if it’s because it takes about 60+ seconds for the WiFi to connect that Opera times out around 30 seconds. Is this something that ‘the guys’ at iFly can look at?

I flew with the Raspberry Pi today for the first time. Didn't realize how much traffic was out there!

It's not the wifi that would be the issue. The Opera browser is a bit different in that everything viewed with it is cache or passed through the Opera server. When you view a site on Opera, you are actually viewing it by way of their server. His is done to optimize performance and unify display characteristics and more.

This would prohibit direct connecting to the Pi setup page as its not "on the Internet server". I believe this is why it is timing out because it's looking to the Opera server and finding nothing.

Opera was chosen due to its performance and display ability on "mini" devices with less bandwidth. We've looked for other browsers that perform, yet are not "server based", however they very limited and have been cost prohibitive. We will continue to watch for new browser options that are compatible on iFly devices.
