Raspberry pi only shows bacground of panel

#1 Post by nitzane »

Hey guys, newbie here.
ive downloaded and installed air manager and player.
the pi connects just fine, but when i hit "show" on a c172 panel the splash screen disappears, and the screen only shows the background color.

what am i missing?

When you right click on Air Player, it gives you the option to download the log file. There's probably something useful in there.

It's not able to access the internet, so it cannot download the instruments.

It has to be able to connect to the internet to download the instruments. So you would have to connect it to your router for example.

Like - the very early this morning ;) - Ralph says, the Pi needs to be connected to the net. Is your main PC connecting to the router via Wifi ? You would be much better, if this were the case, of connecting the PC to the Router via cable. If the cable run is long then rather than run multiple cables to the router you could then put a small network switch - such as the TL-SG105 V4 next to the PC. Then the switch is connected to the cable going to the router and then connects to the PC and the Pi. Always better to use cable rather than wifi. if you cannot do this and wifi is your only option you could connect the Pi to the wifi. If it is a 'B' model you would need a wifi dongle for the Pi.

Ok, so lets see if i understand:
internet connection from my computer is not enough. The rpi has to be online as well.
that is on top of the wired connection between the computer and the rpi.

Ill give it a go and update you guys


THanks!
