In addition to SSH you can also control the RaspberryPi via the VNC protocol. In doing so, you access the graphical user interface. And so you can “bring” the graphical interface of the RaspberryPi’s without a directly connected screen on your computer.
What you have to configure is described in the following article.
Hints for our lovely english readers: Basically, many of the articles on Nerdiy.de are translations from the original german articles. Therefore, it may happen here and there that some illustrations are not available in english and that some translations are weird/strange/full of mistakes or generally totaly wrong. So if you find some obvious (or also not obvious) mistakes don't hesitate to leave us a hint about that in the comment section.
Also please don't get confused, that instead of a "dot" often a "comma" is used as decimal separator. 🙂

Helpful Articles:
Before you start with this article, you should have prepared the RaspberryPi so far that it can be reached via the network and controlled by SSH.
The following articles describe what to do to prepare the RaspberryPi:
RaspberryPi – Setting up for Nerdiys!
RaspberryPi – The first configuration

Required material:
In the following list you will find all the parts you need to implement this article.
Log in via SSH on the RaspberryPi
To get started, you first need to log in to RasPi with SSH on Putty. How to do it is described in the article
Enable the VNC server
In order for you to communicate with your RaspberryPi via VNC, a corresponding server application must be running on it. This is already integrated in Raspian and therefore does not need to be installed but only activated.
To do this you need to switch to the RaspberryPi configuration menu. This is done with the following command:
sudo raspi-config
Download and install VNC client software
In order to be able to connect to the VNC server on the RaspberryPi you now need the right VNC client. This is available for free on the manufacturer side for download.
Go to https://www.realvnc.com/de/connect/download/viewer/ and download the software “VNC Viewer”. and install it.
How to download and install a program is described in the following articles:
Downloads/Uploads – How the data comes from the internet and disappears again
Install programs – an example
Establish VNC connection
To set up the VNC connection you start the VNC viewer.
Have fun with the project
I hope everything worked as described. If not or you have any other questions or suggestions, please let me know in the comments. Also, ideas for new projects are always welcome. 🙂
P.S. Many of these projects - especially the hardware projects - cost a lot of time and money. Of course I do this because I enjoy it, but if you appreciate it that I share these information with you, I would be happy about a small donation to the coffee box. 🙂
