I have an old galaxy note 3 and I was looking to use that to replace the radio head unit in my car. I want to have the raspberry pi run the system and the galaxy note would basically be the screen for it.
I saw a tutorial for using a usb tether to accomplish this. link: http://joshuawoehlke.com/android-raspberry-pi-display-over-usb/
The problem I am having is that after I save the code for the usb0 network and reboot, the new usb0 does not show up in ifconfig.
Does anyone know of a different way to set up a usb network interface for a wired usb connection? Or know if something in the tutorial is possibly wrong for my particular pi?
Help much appreciated.
My Pi: Raspberry Pi 2 Model B V1.1 Raspberry Pi 2014
Running Raspbian
