New SD-card causes farmbot to not connect properly

Hello,

I have tried changing the sd card my farmbot uses. However with the new sd card (using the same os.img as before) the farmbot is not able to connect to the webapp.

If someone has some suggestions I’d be happy to hear about them!

Hi @neo if the Configurator web site comes up on 192.168.24.1 then the SDHC card flash was probably Ok, so the issue is likely to be incorrect credentials entered for your Web App user account.
Edit: Also check that the Wi-Fi SSID name and passphrase and Regulatory Domain Id for the bot to connect to are correct.

All these things should not really be the problem because when using a normal RPI4 and an Arduino Mega 2560 (without any other components) I am able to flash the OS and connect it to an account without any problems.

Ok,

What is the hardware configuration that has the problem ?
Does the FBOS Configurator web server come up ?
Are you able to connect to the RPi4B serial console to do troubleshooting ?

Using RPI4, with a Farmduino.
Yes the Configurator comes up. But after that the PI4 does not connect to the wep App properly.
How can I connect to the RPI4 specifically?

FBOS configures the RPi4B to use UART1 (GPIO14 and GPIO15) to run Interactive Elixir.
You can connect a TTL-232R-RPi Debug Cable for Raspberry Pi and use a terminal emulator on another computer to interact with FBOS.

Are both scenarios using identical configuration settings :

  • Wi-Fi AP SSID, Passphrase and Regulatory Domain Id ?
  • my.farm.bot Username and Password ?

Is this RPi4B different physical hardware ?
