I wonder how the arduino IDE recognizes the ip address of the arduinoYun board over wifi/ethernet. So that I can implement it myself over mobile application.
Thanks
The Yun uses Bonjour services (port 5353) for auto-discovery on a wireless network. For more information, look here.

I want to develop a similar project based on this project, but i want to use xiaomi nano router instead of TP-WR703n router.
The problem is that my router does not have an USB port to communicate with other devices (arduino mega and camera).
My solution is:
Using a CP2102 converter and a female to female USB converter to make USB port for my router.
Using USB hub to connect with arduino and camera.
Is my solution possible?
Thanks.
No, you can't make a USB port out of UART port. The CP2101 converter works the other way around - it makes a serial port out of your USB port.
I have gone through several links online but I have not found any appropriate solution to it. I am wondering if there is a way to connect an Arduino with WiFi without using any shield or any other external hardware. My laptop is connected to WiFi and the arduino board is connected to the laptop with an USB cable. I want to access/run the data for the Arduino using WiFi. Is there a way to do it?
Hope my query makes a sense.
Thanks.
Let's restate your question for clarity - you want to share the laptop's Internet connection (e.g. via WiFi) with the Arduino connected to the laptop with a USB cable, with no additional hardware?
Assuming I restated it correctly, the Arduino's USB connection provides a virtual "serial port" for communication. This means you can use an "IP over serial" solution for Internet access. One such common and widely supported solution is PPP.
However, programing the Arduino with IP over PPP stack requires significant amount of memory and is probably an overkill for whatever it is you're trying to do.
You're probably better off designing a custom-tailored protocol for the serial communication between the Arduino and a small gateway program you can program and run on the laptop.
If you're bent on a complex solution that provides full Internet access to the Arduino, the steps to achieve what you're after are:
Program the Arduino with a TCP/IP over PPP protocol stack, running on the serial port. You'll probably need an Arduino MEGA.
Setup the laptop to be a PPP endpoint on the Arduino's serial port. For a Windows machine you can refer to this page for information on how to do that.
Once the PPP link is up, you can setup the laptop's OS to share Internet access to the PPP link.
I'm connecting my Arduino Yún to my laptop via USB cable and as I read in Arduino documentation:
When you first power on the Yún, it will create a WiFi network called
ArduinoYun-XXXXXXXXXXXX. Connect your computer to this network.
But in my case nothing appears and I didn't found anything related to this on the web.
I'm running Windows 8.1 on my laptop.
Any idea how I can solve this problem?
It sounds as if something is wrong with the wifi configuration on the Yún. Has it previously been configured? Try resetting the wifi by pressing the "Wifi RST" button for more than five seconds (but less than 30).
More info here.
The question you asked is already answered by #mellbratt. You have successfully configured Yun and connected it to the network (configuration of WiFi by providing SSID and security key in web panel). The thing you have to do now, is to find what IP your Yun device is assigned on that network. You can use tools like Angry IP Scanner to scan the network and find your IP if you cannot access it from myusername.local. Using that IP you can access the web panel.
I have 2 linux computers. For security, I want to setup a link between them, then program a library for sending/receiving data over this connection. I know that we can use USB networking cable for connection. But I am not sure is it possible to send and receive data on this link, does it depend on cable manufacturer? And Can I program library without using cable driver?
You can't use a USB cable to connect two computers with standard USB interfaces. Standard USB interfaces on computers are host interfaces and you can only connect a host to a device, not another host.
The "cable" described in the article it's not just a cable, the correct name would be USB host-host bridge controller and it powered by a chip designed and manufactured by Prolific - PL 2501. It's described also in the article.
As David Schwarz said with dumb cable (only the wires) you cannot setup a link between two PCs, because USB it's master/slave bus, where a device it's the slave and other the host. The PC it's designed to always be the host (the master).
The response it is that you cannot setup a link or do networking between two PCs using a dumb USB cable. You can do this only using a bridge like the one described in the article.
So, this topic is very similar to this Cisco Switch/Router programming using Arduino?.
I have an Arduino ATmega2560 and Ethernet Shield plus a Cisco 1751 router. I want to configure the router via the console or AUX port using Arduino.
Fast search gave the following results: you could connect to the router using RJ45 to Serial or RJ45 to RJ45 connectors; the protocol is very similar to Telnet (actually works like serial port with text-based commands).
So the main question is - am I able to control the router via a console or AUX port using Ethernet Shield (and an Ethernet library) or do I have to use a serial port connection using something like RS-232?
Update: I've noticed one thing - the DB9 port is just an option for easy communicating with a PC so it seems that my idea is not so bad:) See Cabling and Adapter Setups that Work.
As you have pointed out the console and aux ports on Cisco devices are serial ports not network ports so you need to connect to them using RS232, this is an entirely different type of interface from Ethernet.
