RaspiPass is a means of accessing StreetPass Relay points from your home, allowing you to send and receive StreetPass hits all over the world. It uses a method commonly known as *Homepass* to emulate an existing StreetPass Relay access point, and exchange hits with Nintendo's servers.
Previous versions of RaspiPass existed for the Raspberry Pi 1 and 2 but relied on an external USB wireless network adapter, and these were only distributed to friends as complete units with compatible wifi dongles. With the release of the Raspberry Pi 3 and it's on-board wifi adapter, RaspiPass as it's known today was created. It was the first of its kind written specifically for the Raspberry Pi 3, intended to be a single unit without any need of peripherals.
- Simple setup using only a Raspberry Pi 3 and its on-board hardware
- Activates automatically based on user-configurable random timings
- Configuration via web front-end
- Firewall configuration to only allow traffic necessary for StreetPass Relay
- Download the latest zipped image from the Dropbox directory
- Download and run Win32 Disk Imager (Windows) or ApplePi-Baker (Mac)
- If running Windows, extract the .img file from the zipped image file
- Insert a Micro-SD card 2Gb or larger
- Open Win32 Disk Imager
- Click the "Open" icon and select the .img file extracted earlier
- Select your Micro-SD's drive letter from the drop-down
- Click the "Write" button to write the image to the selected drive
- Once complete, close Win32 Disk Imager and safely eject your Micro-SD
- Open ApplePi-Baker
- Select your Micro-SD in the left of the window
- Select "Prep for NOOBS" to format the card
- Click the "..." button in the Restore section of the window, and select the RaspiPass file downloaded earlier
- Click the "Restore" button to write the image to the selected drive
- Once complete, close ApplePi-Baker and safely eject your Micro-SD
- Insert the Micro-SD card into your powered-down Raspberry Pi 3 (with ethernet connected) and turn on
- Allow the device to boot up (the first boot may take a little while as it may need to perform some initial storage fiddling)
- Open http://raspipass/ to access the Web GUI and adjust settings as desired
From here the device should run automatically. You can force the script to start, or shut down the device by using the buttons under the "Admin Tasks" tab in the Web GUI.
