If you have access to the internet while connected to the same network as the ProtoPixel Brain Experience, you can use http://find.protopixel.io to find the Brain Experience, in a similar way as using ProtoPixel Mapping Tool. This only works for simple LAN configurations.

Also, you can access the WebApp with the Name of the ProtoPixel Brain Experience (“ppxnode-ABCDEXX”) by composing a URL like http://ppxnode-ABCDEXX.local/. Please note the / at the end. Some devices, like Android ones and many Windows-based ones, can’t use this address.

Alternatively, if you already know the IP address of your ProtoPixel Brain Experience, you can access its WebApp by writing its IP directly in the address bar of your browser. Default static addresses are 192.168.133.100 for the wired interface and 192.168.8.1 for the wireless interface.
