Raspberry Pi Finding MAC Address
The MAC (Media Access Control) Address on the Raspberry Pi can easily be found using the terminal.
Type ifconfig at the prompt and hit enter.
eth0 is the wired ethernet port on the Raspberry Pi. The MAC address is located beside the ‘ether’ subject.
wlan0 is the WiFi ethernet on the Raspberry Pi. The MAC address is located beside the ‘ether’ subject.
Example:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ifconfig
eth0: flags=4099 UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST mtu 1500

This low-cost small computer plugs into a computer monitor. A keyboard and a mouse can be attached via USB ports.
The Raspberry Pi has quickly become a fixture in the industrial environment when utilizing the internet of things. (IoT)
We will be utilizing this computer to poll and log information from our PLCs using Modbus and MQTT protocols.
Node-RED will be the IoT enabling software that will allow us to utilize this hardware.
