Back at it. Thanks again for you help. Here a few replies or outcomes:
KeBul stated succinctly what I'm attempting: "...pCP imaged and running on your RPi on the same network as your laptop and you accessing pCP via a web browser to configure it." kidstypike suggested: "Nothing connected, log into your router, or use the other methods in the doc to see the devices connected to your network, say there are X total. Then connect your picore player (via ethernet to your router only) and refresh. If you don't see one more, you dont have a running picore yet, it's time to focus (as mentioned) on a proper image on the SD." me: I did that. I don't see picore so I dont have a running picore yet. I do see other devices and I do see them go away if I disconnect them and come back to the list of connected devices when I power them up. kidstypike: "Which software are you using to burn the pCP image to the SD card?" "A 2GB card isn't big enough." me: To burn the image to the SD card I used Raspberry Pi Imager and Balena Etcher. The card I'm using is 32 gb. The model is SanDisk Extreme Plus, micro SDHC, Read Write. I was unable to see the Raspberry Pi on my network when I plugged the SD card into the RP, plugged internet cable into the router and powered up. Fahzz: "There's windows app called SDcard Formatter try that. I also used an app called Balena Etcher to burn the image." me: I downloaded SDcard Formatter and Balena Etcher Mac versions to my MacBook Air. I formatted the card with SDcF and then burned the image with Balena. I plugged in and was unable to see the Raspberry Pi on my network. KeBul: "The premise is you use one of those utilities, specify the card you want your image to be written to (your micro SD card), specify the image file (your downloaded and unzipped picoreplayer.img file and then the utility will format the card, create all the necessary partitions, unpack and copy the files and make the card bootable. ...place the card in your RPi, connect the RPi to your router and power it up, leave it for a few minutes to allow it to boot and then look for its IP address in your router." me: Yes, I understand. I did all that. I used Raspberry Pi Imager on a Mac and on a PC. I used Balena Etcher on the Mac only. In each case, it seemed apparent that the applications were doing their thing burning the image. But to no avail. PNelson: "Plug the Pi using a ethernet cable into the router, not the computer." me: Yes, that's what I did. Redrum: "Nothing connected, log into your router, or use the other methods in the doc to see the devices connected to your network, say there are X total. Then connect your picore player (via ethernet to your router only) and refresh. If you don't see one more, you don't have a running picore yet, it's time to focus (as mentioned) on a proper image on the SD." me: I did that. I could see the various devices connected to my Internet via an app that our Internet provider gave us called Plume Home Pass. I could click on each and find out IP addresses. I could turn off devices and see that they were "Not connected." I could turn on devices and see them come on line. I could never see the picore player. chicks: "it should show up in your browser at pcp.local, much simpler than typing an IP address." me: This didn't work. sbp: "I Will suggest that you start by adding a computer screen to your raspberry." me: I suppose. But if it's supposed to work by connecting to a laptop, I'd like to see that work. Raspberry Pi website: There is an article on the RP site titled "How to connect Raspberry Pi to laptop display: step by step guide." https://bit.ly/2SUoKiQ Me: This step by step guide is easy enough to follow up to the end of Step 2. Then it goes way over my head. Conclusion: I am down but not out. Although, I am not suer what my next step is. Tomorrow perhaps a call to Raspberry Pi or its distributor that I purchased from (PiShop.US) or to someone at piCorePlayer. Otherwise it has been a very nice 4th of July. My daughter and son-in-law spent the weekend with us. We saw some fireworks. We saw a tremendous rainbow. We went out in our canoe and kayak. Ate well. Drank a little too much. For music, I plugged a USB cable into my Topping D30 DAC from a Samsung cell phone. Opened up a Pandora app and accessed lots of good music. It sounded terrific. My wife asked me why I'm driving myself nuts with Raspberry Pi and previously with Squeezebox Duet. Why not get an old cell phone and dedicate it to the hifi? She's got a knack for cutting through the extraneous stuff in life. My only answer to her was, "That wouldn't be right." I'll keep trying. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ anglecard48's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71714 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114796
