Pi-Chrome Project

Objective: To make several Raspberry Pi ports accessible via the Chromebook web browser.

Materials: Chromebook, Ethernet Cable, Micro SD card w/ Ubuntu Linux 22.04 LTS Image, OLED Display, Raspberry Pi, USB-C Power Supply

In this short lesson, we will explore the concept of SSH tunneling, as known as, port forwarding.  One way for us to interact with our Raspberry Pi is through the Secure Shell extension.  Secure Shell allows us to control our Raspberry Pi using text commands on a single line, which is a very powerful and an imperative skill for anyone working in the Computer Science / Information Technology sector.  With port forwarding, we can forward web services from our Raspberry Pi to our Chromebook and access those services using a web browser.  This gives us an additional method for communicating with our Raspberry Pi.

Please watch the video below to see how to set up port forwarding with the Secure Shell extension
