Pika Spark is a matchbox-sized high-performance micro robot control system combining an unprecedented amount of computing power and interfaces within an extremely small form factor. The Pika Spark has one (1) galvanically isolated Gigabit-Ethernet (1000BASE-T) interfaces which can be used for communication with external devices. Galvanic isolation prevents ground-loops and increases overall system resilience and is an important feature in industrial-grade control systems.
nmcliConfigure Gigabit-Ethernet (1000BASE-T) for static IP using nmcli:
sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
