Trouble with Raspberry Pi connection and initial setup

Plugged into the TV but not sure what’s supposed to happen next.

Do you get anything on the screen?

Something like this?

Take a picture of the screen.

I get nothing. And, though the TV has an ethernet port, ethernet is not a source option on my TV.

With the tv (monitor) attached to the HDMI output, it will show the boot process and ensure you are booting properly.

Looks like it’s up by the screen…

:smiley_cat:

Hmm. When I power down the Pi I did get a message on the screen that said, “Network Cable Disconnected”.

Okay. Got this…

Do you have OBS installed on the computer?

If not, how is the video handled on the Mac?

:smiley_cat:

Don’t know what OBS is and video is handled by…pushing the play button? I’m guessing? As you can tell, I’m not much of a techie. That’s why I paid the extra for the LightBurn Pi hoping for plug-and-play. Sorry, I’m not more literate but I’m standing by awaiting your instructions. A search of my hard drive does not indicate that OBS is installed on my machine, if that helps.

Is your network in the range of 192.168.1.xxx? If so, it looks like the Bridge is already connected to your network. You should be able to move to the next step in configuration.

I’m sorry, I got your question confused with another trying to implement a camera and that involved OBS… So ignore my comment…

In the device setup I thought there was a place to enter the Pi’s address in Lightburn…

:smiley_cat:

So, the next step in connecting to 192.168.42.1. No luck there.

" This site can’t be reached 192.168.42.1 took too long to respond."

No, you’re past that. The Bridge is already on your network.

Click next on this screen:

Your Bridge should then appear on the next screen.

I got this instead…

If you login into your router can you see that the Bridge is connected? What does your TV look like now?

I’ve been locked out for too many replies on my first day. :-0

Here’s what it looks like now. Still not showing up in my WiFi list and the TV connection appears unchanged…

Not sure how to log into my router. As for the Terminal output:

@adammhaile Any insight on this? Can’t see why the Bridge wouldn’t show up in the device scan.

Could be a local network config thing… but honestly unsure. My advice would be to skip the scan, manually create a Ruida device and just choose Bridge as the connection option and manually input the IP address. And see if it still won’t connect.
The scan usually works, but it’s not infallible.

That did the trick. I deleted the existing device and started from scratch using the manual option. Looks like we’re in business. Thanks for the assist, gents.
