[PROBLEM] 9.0.3 Cannot connect to Pi 4B

[suffolktony]

Did you follow the Setup Guide when making the image? Theres a link to it on the Download page at moodeaudio.org

Yes, to the letter.

Very odd.

If you can determine the IP address of the Pi then from your MacBook open Terminal, connect to the Pi via SSH and post the moode startup log.

Code:

# Using the userid and password you entered in the Pi Imager
ssh userid@ip_address_of_pi

# Print the startup log
moodeutl -l

Thanks for this Tim. I've disconnected the Pi for the time being as I use it in our holiday home & we're going home. I'll set this back up tomorrow - before your helpful advice I was going to try at home anyway, in case there was something about the network here.

OK...Back home, I've reburned Moode onto the micro SD card, following instructions. Same result unfortunately. I can see the Pi (Pi5) on the network, but using all syntax, still cannot access Moode. Typing in the commands as given above produces this -

The default interactive shell is now zsh.

Did you really configure the Wifi Connection properly in RasperryPi Image Flasher?

It seems like the default Hotspot Password is now empty so there will be no Hotspot started by default even if there is no connection. The documentation was not update to take this into consideration - so I'm not sure this was intended / taken into consideration.

One way to make sure its not related to Wifi is by temporarly connect an Ethernet Cable for the setup in case you forgot to set it up in the RaspnerryPi Image flasher.

Another option is to start from scratch and burn a new image with the proper config setup in the Image flasher.

Thanks for your reply. I'm only using a wired ethernet connection. So far I've probably burned the image ten times, and to three different cards. All images were verified OK.

Ok this rules out any Wifi related troubles ... then again unless you enabled SSH in the settings of the Imager SSH should not work.

Can you perhaps post screenshots of the three tabs so that I can try to reproduce your issue?

Is this from your Mac?
The "moodeutl" command is not a MacOS command, its a Linux moode command that only runs on a moode Pi.

On a Mac open the Terminal app and type in ssh userid@ip_address_of_pi

If ssh userid@ip_address_of_pi returns "...port 22: Operation timed out" then the computer at that IP address is either not running the ssh daemon or something on the network is blocking access to port 22.

If the ssh connection was successful then type in moodeutl -l and post the startup log.
