I am actually making a quadcopter which you can control with your smartphone but i am facing an issue in making connection. I want to give static IP Address to respberry pi and enable hotspot to make connection between mobile and respberry for communication but i dont know how to do this. Here are some commands which iam trying but this gives me error 

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
    address 192.168.10.1
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 192.168.10.1

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get install hostapd

sudo hostapd hostapd.conf

After the last command it give me error

could not open configuration file 'hostapd.conf' for reading. Failed to set up interface with hostapd.conf. Failed to initialize interfaces.

Please tell me how i can connect my mobile with respberry pi.

    Try using the full path to hostapd.conf – Dirk Dec 21 '19 at 18:59

    Is there any reason you ignored the warning in /etc/network/interfaces? **# Please note that this file is written to be used with dhcpcd

    For static IP, consult /etc/dhcpcd.conf and 'man dhcpcd.conf'**

    If you really must use static IP do it properly see How to set up Static IP Address

  • Obviously, It's impossible to troubleshoot the problem without understanding "hostapd" configuration hence add the "hostapd.conf" file to the question. – M. Rostami Dec 22 '19 at 10:47
