Remote Debugging from you Computer

What It’s Used For

Wireless uploading to the phone

Setting Up

Make sure you have the Android SDK Tools installed. Plug the phone into the computer. Open up the command line and type

adb tcpip 5555

This will set the port. Then, find the phone’s IP Address and make sure that the computer and the phone are on the same network. Now do:

adb connect [IP of the phone]

Now you are connected. If this fails, try using

adb kill-server

and then

adb start-server

also,

adb get-state

might also be of assistance.

Using Wifi and Direct Connect

Connect to the WiFi direct connect network that was created between the driver phone and the driver station phone. Then, if you have a separate Wifi adapter for your computer, plug that in and connect it to a network that has an internet connection. Your computer should be running two simultaneous networks: one should be connected to the phones, and the other one should be connected to the internet.

Usage

This connection will act as a regular USB connection. So treat it if it were plugged into your computer.
