What's New in TinyPilot's March 2024 Update

TinyPilot's March release allows you to manage your device's static IP address and improves menu navigation.

Assign your TinyPilot a static IP address

In most environments, your router assigns TinyPilot an IP address dynamically when your device boots up. This is a convenient way to manage devices on a network, but dynamic addresses also introduce complexity and a potential point of failure.

For networks where reliability is critical, you can eliminate a potential point of failure by assigning your TinyPilot a static IP address. The latest version of TinyPilot Pro makes it easier than ever to manage a static IP address for your TinyPilot.

If you've ever made a mistake adjusting network settings for one of your devices, you may have found yourself entirely locked out. It's a frustrating experience. So, TinyPilot makes sure you stay connected to your device even if you make a mistake in your network settings.

After you set a new static IP, TinyPilot will make sure that you can still connect to your device over the network. If your browser can't connect to your device again within 60 seconds, TinyPilot will automatically revert back to its last working network settings. This extra connectivity check saves you from the dreaded accidental lockout.

Navigate menus more easily

Have you ever experienced the frustration of a menu closing when you move your mouse slightly wrong?

Menus are now more forgiving when you move your mouse, so accessing and changing settings is much easier.
