Prompt Detail:

To connect your Raspberry Pi to a mobile hotspot using the command line, you can use the bluetoothctl command to manage Bluetooth connections and nmcli to configure the network. First, make sure you have the necessary packages installed:

bash
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install bluez pi-bluetooth network-manager

Now follow these steps to connect your Raspberry Pi to your mobile hotspot:

  1. Enable the hotspot on your mobile device. Consult your device's user manual or settings to enable the hotspot.

  2. On your Raspberry Pi, run bluetoothctl to enter the Bluetooth control interface:

bash
bluetoothctl
  1. In the bluetoothctl interface, enable the Bluetooth agent and set it to the default agent:
bash
agent on default-agent
  1. Scan for nearby Bluetooth devices:
bash
scan on
  1. Look for your mobile device in the list of discovered devices, and take note of its MAC address.

  2. Pair your Raspberry Pi with your mobile device using the MAC address:

bash
pair <your_mobile_device_mac_address>
  1. Trust the mobile device:
bash
trust <your_mobile_device_mac_address>
  1. Exit bluetoothctl:
bash
exit
  1. Now, use nmcli to connect to the mobile hotspot network:
bash
sudo nmcli device connect <your_mobile_device_mac_address>

Replace <your_mobile_device_mac_address> with the MAC address of your mobile device.

  1. To check if your Raspberry Pi is connected to the internet, you can use a command like:
bash
ping google.com

This will establish a connection to your mobile device's hotspot. Keep in mind that using your mobile device's hotspot may consume data from your mobile data plan. Check with your mobile carrier to ensure you have enough data available before using your device as a hotspot.
