For some unknown reason, I cannot ping raspberrypi.local as part of step 44 in the assembly instructions. Can you put me on the right track to find what I did wrong or what I should check? I am afraid to run the Imager again just to check the settings. Thanks.
First of all, what did you configure before installing the system.
What hostname and username did you configure yourself?
https://docs.sunfounder.com/projects/pidog/en/latest/python/python_start/installing_the_os.html
You need to memorize your own system configuration before you go to install the system into the SD card to boot.
You then need to implement the Raspberry Pi remote login:
https://docs.sunfounder.com/projects/pidog/en/latest/python/python_start/remote_windows.html
Determine the IP address of your Raspberry Pi by typing in PowerShell. ping -4 .local
For example, if you configured the hostname to be: only, the command would be: ping -4 only.local
If you have not changed the hostname and it is the default hostname raspberrypi, then the command is: ping -4 raspberrypi.local
After confirming the IP address, use or login to your Raspberry Pi. ssh @.localssh @
I did everything by the book. Hostname is raspberrypi.local. SSID has not changed. Config on the SD card is the same as when I first connected to the raspberry to install the modules. I checked the connections on the hat.
I created another SD card with Imager and tried to connect but it still does not recognize the host.
Could it be something related to the wifi on the raspberry itself?
Are you configuring your Raspberry Pi with your home WiFi?
You need to configure the Raspberry Pi with a WiFi network, or the Raspberry Pi is connected with an Ethernet cable, oh, there is a network in order to realize the ssh remote connection.
And your computer network should be in the same LAN as your Raspberry Pi’s network in order to connect properly.
If you can, we suggest you record the operation process video to us, so that we can help you analyze the problem.
The Raspberry is now connected to the router/network. It was a router issue (the VPN blocked the access) now solved. Next, I have to go through the commands for the remote connection.
Thanks for your help and your patience.
